Nicole Scherzinger to get £3m?

Simon Cowell is reportedly ready to pay £3 million to singer Nicole Scherzinger for her return as a judge to the show X Factor. The 54-year-old X Factor boss thinks that Scherzinger, 35, is good at judging the show, and feels that the reality series would be more successful if she returns, reported Daily Mirror.

“Simon absolutely loves Nicole. She is his perfect judge. She is thought of as one of the family. Simon loves her both on and off screen and feels she has been extremely popular with the viewers,” a source said.

“He is getting in quick because he doesn’t want to lose her to the other commitments she has. Money is no object to Simon on this one. He is ready to do whatever it may take to bring her back in the show. He will break the bank to keep her for the third series,” the source added.
