Andrew Lloyd Webber says Nicole Scherzinger is returning to the X-Factor. In an interview, the composer said the former Pussycat Doll has pulled out of the Broadway production of Cats because she wants to be a judge again. He says he's furious about it.
It's reported she will join the show's judging panel alongside Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
The news comes after Rita Ora became the latest judge to walk earlier this week, following in the footsteps of Nick Grimshaw and Cheryl.
A source close to Nicole told MailOnline: 'Rita had been in discussions but it became apparent she was no longer the automatic top option.Nicole Scherzinger was a huge success whens she was on the X Factor a few years ago and has long been part of the X Factor family. She provided fun and entertainment and a huge personality to the show. She is the definite favourite to get the seat next to Simon.'
