She wants the big bucks! Nicole Scherzinger supports Lewis Hamilton at Grand Prix 'as she demands £1.5million to make a return to X Factor'
|
Nicole Scherzinger is asking for £1.5million to return to the X Factor, according to reports.
The 34-year-old singer wants double her fee from last year to appear on the judging panel of the talent show, according to The Sunday People.
Nicole beat Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh in the competition last year, with her act James Arthur winning the show.

A source told The Sunday People: 'Cowell has made Nicole an offer but she knows the money she wants and it’s double what she got last year.'
'She knows that she was the star of the show last year and therefore thinks she should be paid appropriately.'
'Last year it was all so rushed, she was a last minute replacement for Kelly Rowland, so she couldn’t negotiate properly.'

The line-up for the show has not been revealed yet and it seems that Simon Cowell is in talks with potential judges.
Tulisa slammed reports she had been sacked from the show but didn't confirm or deny if she was appearing on next year's show.
Earlier this month she said: 'I’m realistic, if Simon had called to say I was sacked, I’d say. If there were issues, I’d say.'

Sharon Osbourne is rumoured to be joining the panel for 2013.
A spokesperson for the show said: 'No formal decisions have been made about the panel for this year's X Factor or any contracts as yet.'
While Nicole is said to be holding out for a huge pay cheque, she proved to be the doting girlfriend over the weekend being at her boyfriend's side at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
The pair were seen walking hand-in-hand around the paddock ahead of the race.
