Nicole Scherzinger lands in London, wastes no time laying down the glamour gauntlet for Tulisa

In just five days time, The X Factor live shows will be back on our screens and it seems that new judge Nicole Scherzinger is taking things very seriously ahead of this weekend.

Well in the style stakes at least.

The singer posted a picture of herself on Twitter today surrounded by her style team.

Underneath the picture, Nicole wrote: "Hair done, nails done, everything did. Just arrived in my #newhome London and already straight to work #covershoot!"

We've heard of forward planning but this is just ridiculous.

From what we can tell all Tulisa has done is dye her hair ahead of this weekend's live shows.

Get on it girl, Nicole means business.

An excited Nic also tweeted this morning at the crack of dawn to let the UK know she had arrived in London.

We're not sure who would have read this- even we were asleep at that time.

This year the X Factor has taken on a whole new style team, ready to work their magic on this year's judges and contestants.

The stylish trio, Jamie Steven, Julia Carta and Frank Strachan seem to be held in high esteem over at X Factor HQ- just look at the swanky promo photo shoot they've been given.

We wonder if the stylists had stylists for their shoot?

But surely that means then that the stylist's stylist would have to have their own photo shoot and therefore their own stylist?

Ouchour heads hurt.
