Nicole Scherzinger discusses her X Factor departure on Alan Carr: Chatty Man.

When speaking about Mel B taking over from her as new X Factor judge, former X Factor judge Nicole says: “First of all no-one can replace me. I am joking. Mel has done this before. She does not need any advice. She will spice things up.”

Nicole – who also performs her latest track Your Love live in the studio – then clears up rumours that she was offered £3million by Simon Cowell to come back.

“I have not heard from Simon,” she says. “He made his choice so I am just going to support everybody and it does not matter because my panel last year was the absolute best.”

Nicole also shows Alan some yoga positions to hilarious effect.

When asked about her music, Nicole reveals she has played some pretty big gigs recently and met some high profile dignitaries.

“I have been working on my music but I met the Pope also,” she tells Alan. “There was a nun in front of me and I worried I was not able to see him. She took away 10 frickin’ minutes. I was like ‘Move out of the way sister’. I met him and I was speechless. I did not know what to say. I don’t think he understood me. He did not say anything. I got a selfie with the Dalai Lama also.”
