Nicole Scherzinger has avoided talking about Cheryl in the lead-up to the X Factor.
The show returns this weekend for it’s thirteenth series with the Hawaii native and original judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.
The songstress has a lot in common with the Girls Aloud star, having both come from majorly successful girl groups and branched their own solo careers, but has never been on the show’s panel with her.
A reporter for the Huffington post asked the 38-year-old fs she was disappointed about not being on the panel with Cheryl but Nicole chose to gush about fellow judge Sharon instead.
“I mean Mrs. O is the – Mrs. O. I call her OG. The original gangster,” she told the journalist.
“She’s the mama. I’m really close with her. The people on the panel, that’s my family.
