Looks like BBC’s The Voice and ITV’s The X Factor may be doing a little swap, as it’s been reported that Nicole Scherzinger could be heading for the red chair.

With Rita Ora jumping ship to the hit ITV singing contest, the BBC show needs a fourth judge to join the remaining judges, will.i.am, Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson, and Sir Tom Jones.

A source told The Sun that Nicole, a former winning X Factor judge, is currently in talks – and that she has some big names rooting for her behind the scenes.

‘Nicole is meeting with some of the top producers on The Voice this week to discuss the prospect of her replacing Rita,’ the source said.

‘will.i.am, who is our most popular coach, is very close friends with Nicole and has been lobbying hard for her to join the panel.

‘Andrew Lloyd Webber has also sung her praises because of her talent and passion for mentoring young acts. We’re not planning to make a formal decision until the end of the summer but this will very much make Nicole a front runner.
