The X Factor 2016: Nicole Scherzinger ‘excruciatingly embarrassed’ on set, says Sinitta
DAYS into filming for the new season of The X Factor, Nicole Scherzinger is said by Sinitta to be struggling with turning acts away.

Whilst Sharon Osbourne was reported last week to be relishing in turning the less competent auditionees away, it seems the former Pussycat Dolls star is having less fun with it.
“Nicole squirms and doesn’t want to tell people that they are awful,” Sinitta told The Sun.
“She doesn’t quite understand that anyone can audition and her job is to get rid of the bad and keep the good.
“You can see her sitting there just excruciatingly embarrassed trying to say no to people.”
Nicole previously judged on the show in 2012 and 2013
Simon Cowell rehired Nicole

Nicole is set to miss one of the upcoming filming days due to a clashing prior commitment, with Mel B set to fill her seat for the day instead.
She is said to have rekindled her friendship with mogul Simon Cowell whilst they have worked together on America’s Got Talent.
"Mel B coming back is the icing on the cake as I think she is just fantastic," Sinitta commented.
"She made the show when she was on it. She was so straightforward and strong.
Sharon Osbourne is also back
Sinitta 'begged, screamed and cried' to be on The X Factor panel
"I think she’s fair – there is that English way that she says what she wants."
Nicole, Simon and Sharon are joined by Louis Walsh on the revived panel, which will be seen on-screen when the show returns for its 13th series.
The X Factor airs on ITV later this year.
