Nicole Scherzinger offered £500,000 to judge the X Factor after being dumped from the US series

She was ditched as a judge on the US series of the X Factor after just one season.
ITV bosses will reportedly offer the 33-year-old a £500,000 contract to sign on as a judge alongside Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, and Louis Walsh.According to The Sun it was Gary's support of Nicole which swayed the decision.
'It's now down to money and whether she can commit to the show, which takes up most of the rest of the year.'
Apparently her enthusiasm didn't quite carry through however, as Nicole caused a stir when she apparently held up auditions by an hour getting ready.Geri Halliwell was thought to be a shoo-in for the job, until the audience booed her for her long-winded and, at times, self-serving and patronising comments to contestants.
But she won’t be judging next week’s auditions in Manchester. Instead, her ambitious former bandmate Mel B, who used to be known as Scary Spice, is to take her place. And I’m told Geri isn’t at all happy about that.
