Mariah Carey has pulled out of an appearance on UK show Strictly Come Dancing after X Factor’s Simon Cowell told her reps she could not appear on both shows.
The 40-year-old singer will sing on The X Factor on November 22 and was ‘provisionally booked’ to appear on its rival show Strictly Come Dancing a day earlier.
However, she pulled out after X Factor boss Cowell, 50, told her reps she could not appear on both the channels that weekend leaving Strictly bosses furious.
A BBC spokesperson said: “We had hoped to have Mariah Carey on the show, but her schedule changed and made it impossible.”
