Nicole Scherzinger hits out at UK X Factor move in 'airport rant'

It seems Nicole Scherzinger is unhappy about relocating to the UK to appear on The X Factor, with the star apparently slamming the move in an airport rant.

The US singer has temporarily set up home in Britain after taking up a role on the UK judging panel, having previously worked as a judge on the US edition of the show.

But while Nicole has publicly claimed she is delighted by the move, it seems in private she is far from happy about uprooting her life to take part in the show.

The 34-year-old officially moved to London a week ago, but before getting on the plane she was overheard ranting on the phone at New York's JFK airport.

According to an onlooker, Nicole told a friend she wanted to spend 'every last second in Los Angeles', claiming she will even pay for flights in order to spend more time in the States.

'She was really angry,' the onlooker told The Sun.

'She was very agitated and kept raising her voice. It sounded like she was talking to her manager.

'She shouted: "I'm not unmanageable!" Nicole didn't sound very positive about the show or moving to England.'

A friend told the newspaper: 'Nicole's life is in LA and her family are all either in LA or Hawaii so she's a long way from home.

'Her mum has never flown as far as England and she is upset about leaving everything behind. She did have a moment before she left.'

It was assumed by many that the move would allow Nicole to spend more time with her boyfriend, British F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, but it seems their long distance relationship is set to continue.

While Hamilton has a residence near London, he spends most of his time in Monaco and it is thought that Nicole is staying in a hotel during her time in the capital.

Despite the outburst Nicole kept her misgivings about the move private after touching down in the UK, writing on Twitter: 'Guess who just moved to London! 6am and I've just touched down...let's play ball UK @THEXFACTOR!'

Her first weekend of The X Factor live shows ultimately proved dramatic, with Nicole finding herself at the centre of the first big scandal of the series.

Her act, Rylan Clark, found himself in the bottom two with country singer Carolynne Poole, but was controversially saved after Louis Walsh took the vote to deadlock.

Carolynne's mentor Gary Barlow was so enraged he ended up storming off set, while some viewers slammed the decision as a fix after Louis was spotted talking to a producer during the sing-off.
