Nicole Scherzinger unsure of X Factor return

NICOLE Scherzinger has revealed she’s still in talks with ‘The X Factor’ producers about returning as a judge for the new series but is hoping to come back.

The ‘Boomerang’ singer – who joined the show last year after previously being a judge on the US version of the contest, and acting as a guest judge in 2010 – hopes to be asked back onto the panel, but says talks with show bosses are still ongoing.

She told the new issue of Star Magazine: “There’s no official word – everything’s up in the air.

“I had the most ‘schamaze’ time last year and me and the UK rocked it together. You British have always been good to me. When I did my first guest judging on the show, you guys were s’chamazing’.

“If the official talks are right [I’ll come back]. The UK is my home. You get my music first. I am American, but I’m British at heart.”

Nicole also was pleased she was able to choose her finalists without any intervention from producers. BANG!
