Knowles and Jay Z hoping to attend X Factor final

Beyonce Knowles – who is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z - is hoping to return to the UK capital with him at the end of the year to support close friend Kelly Rowland at the 'X Factor' final.

The 30-year-old superstar said: "If we can both be there, we will. We both love the UK, we love London as a city, and we value our British fans. London is so beautiful. Every time we come, we have a lot of fun, so if we can be there then we will be there."

While Beyonce enjoys watching 'The X Factor' she doesn't think she would be able to be a judge on the show like Kelly, because it takes such a huge commitment and she doesn't have the time to support the contestants in the way they need.

Asked if she would be a judge, she told new! magazine: "It’s a big commitment, it’s not just a show you are doing, it’s about changing people’s lives. I would want to give my acts everything I had, and I don’t think for the next few years that’s going to be possible."
