If getting sacked from her job as a judge on the X Factor USA, two weeks into starting it wasn't bad enough for Cheryl Cole, then hearing her replacement claim she's a better judge, has just stuck the knife in a little further.
Having been given the job of hosting the X Factor USA with Steve Jones before being given the job of judge soon after Cheryl got the chop, Nicole Scherzinger, who celebrates her birthday today, admitted that her "voice" makes her a better judge.
Revealing in an interview on Australian radio station 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O show, Nicole said: "I did start out as a host and then they asked me to be a judge, I felt like I was better served as a judge, I could mentor and have a voice."
Of Simon Cowell, the star added: "He's a lot of fun, he vibrates at a certain level so everybody else vibrates at that level, if you allow him to he brings out the best in you.
"My most favourite part of these auditions, other than seeing the talent is watching Simon and Paula bicker back and forth, they're brilliant together."
The battle is on.....
