Will Nicole's style have X Factor?

Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she's been too busy to plan her outfits for The X Factor live shows.

The former Pussycat Dolls singer has joined the judging panel for the ITV talent show and her fashion choices are set to be further scrutinised as the series approaches the live stages.

But Nicole revealed: "I've been so busy recently that I haven't really had a chance to think about my X Factor wardrobe."

The star, who is dating Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, confessed to some fashion failures in the past.

"Before the Pussycat Dolls I was part of the girl group Eden's Crush. I don't know what we were thinking!" she laughed.

"We had trousers that were cut to make us look like the Incredible Hulk and we had to burst out of them. When I look back I wonder why nobody told us."

And Nicole - who is also the face (and fingers) of imPRESS nails at LittleBlackDress.co.uk - admitted there are parts of her body she doesn't like to show off too much.

"I don't like my thighs, the back of my legs or my knees - I never have. I wear clothes that show my legs in pictures and videos but not often when I'm appearing live.

"It takes time to really understand your body shape and it has taken me years to know what I can and can't pull off."
