Just as Simon Cowell he will be returning to  the judging panel for the new series of The X Factor, Nicole Scherzinger has  reportedly made the decision not to make a comeback for the 2014  season.

The 35-year-old singer is said to have spent  months agonising over the decision on whether or not to return to the hit ITV  show, before making the ‘heartbroken’ choice to instead focus on her  music.

A source told The Sun: ‘She put her music  career on hold last year but now she wants to focus on her music.’

However, a spokesperson for Nicole told  MailOnline that the decision has not been finalised, adding: ‘Nicole is still in  discussions with X Factor bosses about the show.’

The reason that Nicole is finding the choice  so difficult to make is said to be the fact that she has made such a life for  herself in the UK that she would find it tough to say goodbye.

A source told MailOnline: ‘The reason she is  agonising over this decision is because the British public made her so welcome.

‘This year she made so many friends on the  show and they became her family.’

If Nicole does decide not to do another year on the show, it is likely to come as a huge disappointment to Simon, who had been hoping she would bring her unique personality to the programme once again.

An X Factor source told MailOnline: ‘Simon has been a great supporter of Nicole’s throughout and is keen for her career to go strength to strength.’

By the time Nicole and neither the X Factor commented on the news.
