Nicole Scherzinger offered 500K pounds to judge UK 'X Factor'

London, June 3 (ANI): Nicole Scherzinger has been reportedly offered a 500,000-pound contract to become a judge on the' X Factor' in the UK after being dumped from the US series.

ITV bosses will sign on her as a judge alongside Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, and Louis Walsh, the Daily Mail reported.

"We are talking to Nicole about taking on the job full time. She is not the only person in the frame. It's now down to money and whether she can commit to the show, which takes up most of the rest of the year," an insider told the Sun.

"She has given us positive signs, but no-one is counting their chickens after what happened with Dannii Minogue," the insider added.

Dannii pulled out of the role at the last minute, having been considered a sure bet for the job.

According to paper, it was Barlow's support of Scherzinger, which swayed the decision.

Scherzinger also seems to be ready for the job as she tweeted after filming auditions at London's O2 arena on Tuesday: Great day w/ @theXfactor @officialtulisa @gbarlowofficial @walshlife! We saw some amazing talent! Thanks UK for always being so kind to me! #grateful

The singer flew to London from the Riviera, where she was enjoying a post-Grand Prix holiday with her F1 driver beau Lewis Hamilton.

She posted when she arrived: "Super excited to be back in London for @TheXFactor! Can't wait to find more unique and interesting talent!" (ANI)
