Nicole Scherzinger isn't going to play Mother to her X Factor contestants okay

  • August 21, 2012
  • Sam Hine

Notorious destroyer of childhood dreams Nicole Scherzinger isn't going to mother her lucky X Factor contestants.

The 'AmenJena' hitmaker spoke about her approach to The X Factor this year (quoted here), saying: “We are not their mums – we are their mentors.”

Tulisa is also quoted as saying she will "crack the whip" whilst "also [making] space for play-time".

Someone's been reading that book you see ladies reading on the Tube, hasn't she?

“It’s not meant to be a gruelling military operation," she pointed out, "You are meant to be ful­filling your dreams and you have to enjoy that.”

Hm…
