The X Factor opened with poor TV ratings last week, and things are apparently getting worse for Simon Cowell as two of his judges are at loggerheads.

Reportedly Tulisa thinks Nicole hogs the limelight, and by singing and getting to her feet during auditions she really aggravates the N-Dubz star.

A source told The Daily Mail: Tulisa thinks Nicole hogs the limelight, singing and getting to her feet during auditions. It really aggravates Tulisa. And Nicole fawns over Gary Barlow, getting really touchy feely with him at every opportunity.

If all this is true then Nicole should be quite a contrast to last years judge Kelly Rowland, who apart from her constant use of the phrase putting it down seemed to ruffle few feathers.

It seems Tulisa's been hurt by ic's presence, ouch! Apparently Nicole's actions on the show have enraged Tulisa, who is used to being the main diva on the show having mentored last years winners Little Mix.

What with Tulisas dispute with P!nk impersonator Zoe Alexander it could yet shape up to be quite a controversial year for the show.
