Nicole Scherzinger has been booked to fill the fourth chair on the UK's X Factor judging panel - it's official.
The former Pussycat Doll was sacked from her hosting/judging role on the US version earlier this year, but it seems that's only made the way for an improvement in her lot, after it was confirmed that she would be replacing Kelly Rowland on the talent show.
Life&Style reports that Scherzinger has accepted a reported$1 million off to take Rowland's spot after impressing the show's bosses with her stint as guest judge during the London auditions last month.
Another person who'll be happy will be the singer's boyfriend British racing driver Lewis Hamilton, as it means she will be based in the UK for several months.
X Factor has been a rollercoaster for Scherzinger, who was hosting the US version of the show last year, until she stepped in to replace Cheryl Cole, who was unceremoniously dumped by boss Simon Cowell just a few weeks in.
Scherzinger was kicked to the kerb too, though, at the end of the series, along with series host Steve Jones.
She will join series stalwart Louis Walsh on the panel, along with last year's successes Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos.
