American singer-songwriter Nicole Scherzinger is the latest star to be lined-up for a guest spot on the X-Factor judge’s panel, following Rita Ora’s appearance at the last auditions.
Scherzinger has appeared on the shows as a judge twice before (though once was for the US edition) and will be deciding whether hopefuls at London’s O2 Arena will make it through the next round tomorrow.
“I’m super excited to be back in London for The X Factor,” Scherzinger said. “Last time I was here we found One Direction and I can’t wait to find more unique and interesting talent here in the UK.” She joins Take That’s Gary Barlow former N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos, as well as long-time judge Louis Walsh.
Rising star Rita Ora impressed with her first ever judge’s appearance last night, with Tulisa particularly happy with the singer – she told The Daily Star: “Rita is great for the panel. Despite only breaking the commercial scene recently, Rita has been in the industry for years and knows what she is talking about.”
Meanwhile, Ora herself was just happy to be there, and tweeted saying: “I’m here… I can’t breathe! X Factor, I’m just like you, remember that. I’ve just started too, I’m here to help!”
The show is expected to keep drafting in guest judges until they settle for a permanent fourth person to join the panel.
