Here's everything you need to know about OG member and lead singer Nicole Scherzinger.
Who is Nicole Scherzinger? What's her age and background?
Nicole, 41, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in the U.S., and is a singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and television personality.
She joined The Pussycat Dolls as the lead singer in 2003, but left the group in 2009 to pursue solo projects - releasing her debut solo album Killer Love in 2011.
Nicole Scherzinger joins The X Factor
Nicole appeared as a guest judge in a number of episodes of The X Factor, before becoming a permanent part of the panel in 2011 for series 9.
She is currently a judge on The X Factor: Celebrity, which replaced the original format for the first time this year.
Does Nicole Scherzinger have a boyfriend?
Nicole has been linked to The X Factor: Celebrity contestant Thom Evans, 34.
An insider told the Mirror: “It’s really early days but they have spent a lot of time together this week. On two separate evenings they hung out and have been getting on well.
“Nicole thinks Thom is gorgeous and a real gentleman, he obviously can’t believe his luck.”
To many viewers' surprise, she opted to vote Thom's group Try Star off the show last Saturday, instead saving V5.
Speaking about her decision, she said: “I was really impressed with you tonight, I feel like you were true gentlemen tonight.
“But I saw the real competitive side come out of you and you took it to a whole new level, so I have respect after the performance.”
However, the source did add that Nicole and Thom would be unlikely to try long distance if she goes back to LA.
“If Nicole returns to LA the romance is off, she’s done long distance before and she doesn’t want to do it again.
“But there might be more work on the horizon in England next month, which means they get more time.”
