Nicole Scherzinger Recruits Tinie Tempah To Help Her On X Factor?

The X Factor is set to get even more star-studded this year following the reports that hot UK rapper Tinie Tempah is going to help Nicole Scherzinger make the decision over who to send through to the live finals round.

Tasked with mentoring the boys category, Tinie is reportedly top of Nicole's list to help her choose between the hopefuls in the judges house round of the competition.

Of the plans to get Tinie's help, a source told The Sun: "Nicole has the boys and, while she prides herself on being able to spot male talent, she knows having a bloke at her side will help.

"Bosses have come up with several options but Tinie is the one she is keen on, so hopefully he will be free."

It is believed that the 'Pass Out' rapper was due to follow in the footsteps of Rita Ora and Leona Lewis by becoming a guest judge during the auditions show. However, plans for him to appear on the show changed when Nicole accepted the offer to become a permanent judge on the show.

The new series of the X Factor kicks off on August 18. Will you be watching?
