The hitmaker seemed determined to make a grand entrance with her fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, however things nearly went disastrously wrong.
Emerging on-stage hand in hand, the 39-year-old stole the spotlight thanks to her thigh-skimming gold dress.
Wearing her tresses down in a natural wave, Nicole was seen strutting out while waving her hands in the air but when she was introduced by host Dermot O’Leary, viewers were left holding their breath.
Doing a saucy curtsy, the singer’s bottom was almost exposed thanks to the short nature of her metallic mini.

Sharon looked a little worried for her co-star as her outfit rose up, but thankfully she placed her hand on the risqué hemline.
Nicole’s number featured long sleeves and dipped detailing on the front, that highlighted her incredibly toned pins.
She polished off her attire with towering, lace-up heels, before sharing a sultry snap on Instagram.

“So excited to be back on #xfactor! First live show look tonight! @ysl,” Nicole told her 3.3 million followers.
However some Twitter users slammed her frock, claiming she looked like a Quality Street sweet.
Two people tweeted: “Nicole looks like she's dressed as a Quality Street, but she still looks so good,” and: “Nicole looks like she's got some tin foil wrapped round her.”
The X Factor 2017 continues tonight at 7pm on ITV.
