Nicole Scherzinger: I've been speaking to Simon Cowell about The US X Factor job

Nicole Scherzinger could take her place on the judging table

Nicole Scherzinger isn't bothered whether she gets a job on The US X Factor or not

Nicole Scherzinger has confirmed she's in the running to nab a judging job on The US X Factor.

A string of names have been bandied about as potentials to sit next to Simon Cowell, 51, with - or instead of - Geordie singer and UK judge Cheryl Cole, 27.

'I don't know (if I have the job),' says Nicole, 32.

'I've spoken to Simon (Cowell) a few times, but the offer hasn't been made official.
'We'll have to wait and see.'

Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson, Sharon Osbourne and even Katie Price could also ruin Chezza's American dream if they're picked instead of her.

But Nicole isn't desperate to trounce all of them.

'I don't think I'd be too upset if I didn't get the job,' Nicole told ITV's Loose Women.

'I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason.

'I know that it is a huge commitment, but I'm a game-player and if they chose me I'd put my all into it.'
