Nicole Scherzinger was sensationally dropped from her X Factor USA judging role by Simon Cowell, but there's no keeping her away, and this Saturday will see her once again join the singing contest, this time on the UK panel.
So what will she do differently to save herself from the same fate twice?
"I don't know what I'll do. I'll sing my heart out," she joked at the launch of X Factor series 9 on Thursday.
Talking about her new co-stars Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Tulisa, the former Pussycat Doll said: "I'm inspired by these people and the different energy on the couch.
"I'll just be honest in the moment and truthful and give 110% like last time I was on the X Factor and follow my heart."
Sticking up for the singer, Louis noted: "She's working with nicer judges now... Simon is in America."
Introducing herself to the UK press, she said: "You might think I'm the sweet judge, but underneath I'm a scary bitch," causing an outpouring of laughter.
She continued: "There's no room for any excuses, I'm a very hard worker and I look for that in people."
