Exclusive. She may have given up her spot on the judging panel, but that won’t stop Nicole Scherzinger from still being part of this year’s show, as she reveals to Max from Capital in her latest blog for Metro.

Hottie Nicole Scherzinger popped in to see me this week. As well as telling me she’d love to duet with Sam Smith, I also asked the former X Factor judge if she’d like to perform on this year’s show, to which she responded, ‘Honey I AM gonna perform on X Factor… a couple of times! I’m gonna make it happen.’

She also shared her excitement on her new music by saying, ‘I feel amazing, I feel so good right now. I’m so happy. I’ve been in London the past few weeks just working away. 5 o’clock every morning, working till midnight every night. It really feels good to just be back to the music, back on stage performing.’

That's true.
