American Idol icon Simon Cowell is set to quit as judge to trim down his overloaded work schedule, according to Fox23 which quoted Simon's interview with Daily Mirror tabloid in United Kingdom.

Simon Cowell, who also fronts Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor in his native U.K., tells British tabloid the Daily Mirror he makes up to four transatlantic flights a week just to keep up with his hectic filming. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean once a week is really a hard thing to do!

"I don't want to come over as whiney because I am very grateful that I have got these jobs. But there is a point where I am not sure we can keep this schedule up." says Simon. "One may have to go. I don't know which one. That is the problem, I like all of them. I can't imagine not doing Britain's Got Talent and I can't imagine not doing X Factor, but I guess America is more likely to go because I have got one year under contract. Maybe that will be the end." he added.
