It looks like Kelly Rowland has decided to return to the X Factor as she was spotted at LAX Airport yesterday full of smiles ready to board a plane back to London from Los Angeles.
The Destiny's Child singer pulled out of last weekend's shows due to illness, with her spokesperson saying: "She is extremely ill with a viral throat infection and her doctors aren't permitting her to fly."
The promise was Kelly would return "as soon as she has recovered" so we guess she's recovered now!
At the time, Kelly said she'd been put on a drip as she couldn't swallow anything, adding: "The doctors don't even really know what's wrong, either. They say whatever I have is extremely rare."
Seems like the doctors got to the bottom of it and managed to get Kelly well enough to fly.

Kelly Rowland should be back on the X Factor with her girls Janet and Misha / Rex
We heard her croaky voice on the Sunday night results show, when she got on the phone to give her decision to axe Sophie Habibis and save Misha Bryan.
Alexandra Burke took Kelly's place on the judging panel, but if she was hoping for a permanent gig the X Factor winner will be sorely disappointed, as all signs point to Kelly returning this weekend.
Simon Cowell apparently gave Kelly an ultimatum to return within 48 hours or quit the show for good.
A source told The People: "Kelly has been told it's time to make her mind up. Everyone is supportive of the fact she is ill but other bosses are annoyed at the situation."
Kelly's relationship with Tulisa is on the up, as a source told the Sun: "Kelly made the first move as she really wanted to clear the air. She said it was now water under the bridge and Tulisa was glad."
Will the croak still be there this weekend, we wonder?
