Scher-long! X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger 'makes the heartbreaking decision not to return for this year's show'
13 February 2014

If Nicole does decide not to do another year on the show, it is likely to come as a huge disappointment to Simon, who had been hoping she would bring her unique personality to the programme once again.
An X Factor source told MailOnline: 'Simon has been a great supporter of Nicole's throughout and is keen for her career to go strength to strength.'
Simon, who is currently expecting his first child, only revealed Cheryl Cole will return to the judging panel this week, and is hoping to evoke the same excitement as the 2010 series which saw One Direction skyrocket to fame.
