Hawaiian singer-songwriter Nicole Scherzinger has landed a spot on the judges panel of the X Factor - and revealed that she won’t be a softie when it comes to cutting people from the show.
Scherzinger has been drafted into replace Kelly Rowland, and joins Take That’s Gary Barlow, Louis Spence, and singer Tulisa Contostavlos as the four judges on the world-famous singing competition. But, despite breaking down in tears during her stint judging the US version of the show because she didn’t want to boot her favourites from the show, she’s claimed that she won’t be wearing her heart on her sleeve this time round.
“X Factor UK has a special place in my heart,” Scherzinger told Cosmopolitan. “The thing I battled with last year [on X Factor USA] was the rejection part, having to let contestants go. But I’ve grown so much since then. I’ll make sure I continue to give 110% of me but not wear my heart on my sleeve as much.”
She went on to talk about her decision to leave X Factor USA, saying: “People didn’t see I committed six days a week and put everything to one side to help those contestants. You only have one person to answer to at the end of the night, and if you’re happy with yourself that’s all that matters. It’s hard when you feel the pressure. Sometimes people lose their identity in this industry. But I refuse to waver from who I am.”
