Jennifer Lopez will return for another season of “American Idol” as celebrity judge, according to an executive producer of the hit musical reality TV show.

But executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said on the “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest” program Wednesday that it wasn’t official, but he was “delighted to say that all three judges” and the show’s “brilliant host” are back for the next season.

Seacrest is the show’s host, while the other judges are Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler and record producer Randy Jackson.

“American Idol” is set to return with its 11th season in January.
