X Factor’s Gary Barlow has delayed filming scenes for the hit show until his wife gives birth.
The Take That singer was expected by ITV to travel stateside to film the judge’s house scenes in early August.
However, Barlow would not leave the county while his wife Dawn is in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Producers have decided to wait until September to film the scenes that include Barlow but the other judges, Louis Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger will film their scenes in August as planned.
It was reported last week that Barlow refused to travel to the US for the ITV show.

Last year, he travelled to Los Angeles and chose his four finalists with band mate Robbie Williams.
A source said: “Gary’s daughter is due to arrive at exactly the same time as Judge’s Houses are set to be filmed.
“Gary is really torn – he wants to be with his acts but he knows he can’t miss his daughter’s birth.
“You could see Gary making a hospital dash on the show. This really is reality TV.”
