Nicole Scherzinger confirmed as latest guest judge

Nicole Scherzinger has been confirmed as the latest X Factor guest judge.

The former X Factor USA judge will be the latest star to fill the fourth spot on the panel, following appearances from Geri Halliwell, Leona Lewis and Rita Ora.

“I’m super excited to be back in London for The X Factor!” said Scherzinger, who was a guest judge during the auditions and Boot Camp stage of the 2010 series.

“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.”

Following the departure of Kelly Rowland, a full-time fourth judge has yet to be found. Geri Halliwell and Rita Ora are reportedly in the running to get the gig full-time, however, it’s been reported Geri apparently failed to gel with Louis Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos and Gary Barlow during her guest stint in Liverpool.

The X Factor auditions continue today at London’s O2 with Ora appearing in the morning session and Leona Lewis in the afternoon. Scherzinger will appear tomorrow at the O2.
