Nicole Scherzinger oozes sex appeal in tight leather trousers as X Factor 2017 kicks off
THE latest X Factor panel may have only been confirmed earlier this week, but the new series has already kicked off, with the judges being pictured arriving for the first round of auditions at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool earlier today.
Nicole Scherzinger, Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell have all been confirmed to be returning to the ITV talent show and they were pictured posing up a storm outside the venue this afternoon.
Nicole, 38, well and truly stole the show as she flaunted her jaw-dropping pins in a pair of tight leather trousers, which she teamed with a plain white vest top and a dazzling gold jacket.
The beauty wore her brunette locks combed away from her face in a sleek style and she added lashings of nude lipstick and a pair of show-stopping statement earrings.

Sharon, 64, also turned heads in a summery pink patterned gown, which she wore with a pair of matching pointed heels and a slick of pink lipstick.
Louis, also 64, got into the X Factor spirit by posing with his arms crossed outside the hotel, with him wearing a pair of smart blue trousers and a crisp white shirt. Simon, 57, then donned a similar ensemble.
The four-pieces’s appearance comes after sources told The Sun that Simon was confident that last year’s line-up would work again.
An insider explained: "The chemistry was perfect last year, so it's only natural to want to bring the same line-up together again.
"It's usually hard to get people's schedules to align but for the first year it has worked out.
“The judges can't wait to get started and have already been gossiping behind the scenes.”
X Factor is expected to return to ITV later this summer.
