She was criticised for stealing the spotlight from Sam Bailey during their duet in the first leg of The X Factor final on Saturday night.
And it would seem that Nicole Scherzinger was intent on being the centre of attention once again as she took to the stage at London's Wembley Arena on Sunday.
The 35-year-old singer proved she'd well and truly saved her best until last as she opted for her most daring ensemble to date at the grand finale of the ITV1 talent show in a striking semi-sheer gold gown that was slashed to the navel.
