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.'
