Nicole Scherzinger accepts X Factor deal

12th June 2012

Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly signed on as the new judge of The X Factor in the UK.

The 33-year-old singer was fired from her post on the American version of the show by Simon Cowell after poor ratings hurt the first season.

But Life & Style claims that the former Pussycat Doll has done the deal after weeks of speculation.

"She's accepted the offer," a source told the publication. "She's going to be in the UK for about four months."

Nicole will reportedly receive around $1 million to take over from Kelly Rowland's spot after impressing television executives during her guest-judging stint in the audition round in May.

The move to London will also be great for Nicole's relationship with British race-car driver Lewis Hamilton who recently won his third Canadian Grand Prix.

"They're on right now, and they're very happy,' the source added about the lovebirds' relationship.
