Presenter Konnie Huq is to leave X Factor spin-off show The Xtra Factor after just one series.<\/p>\n

Rumours had been circulating that she would be dropped from the show but Huq’s manager said she had left due to a clash of filming schedules.<\/p>\n

Huq, 35, is working on a show for the Discovery channel for America and Asia.<\/p>\n

“We thank Konnie for her contribution to the Xtra Factor,” said a spokeswoman for Xtra Factor’s production company TalkbackThames.<\/p>\n

“We wish her all the very best for the future,” she added.<\/p>\n

Huq said: “I loved doing the Xtra Factor. It was so exciting. But I also cannot wait to start filming my new show for Discovery in China.”<\/p>\n

Huq took over the presenter role on the ITV1 show last year after This Morning’s Holly Willoughby left the show.<\/p>\n

Huq was previously a Blue Peter presenter for 11 years, their longest-serving female presenter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
