As speculation over exactly who we’ll be seeing in this year’s series of The X Factorcontinues, Lewis Hamilton has apparently asked girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger not to return.

The Formula 1 star is reportedly worried that their conflicting schedules will mean they’ll be apart for too long, as Lewis will be touring the world with the Mercedes AMG racing team while Nicole would be sitting on the judging panel when it returns in the autumn.

An insider told the Sunday People newspaper: “Lewis has said to Nicole this is going to be and awful sitution and perhaps she shouldn’t do it.

“If he thought she had her heart set on returning he wouldn’t say this, but he knows she isn’t desperate to go back and thinks she would be happier if they were together.”

The source adds: “Nicole is also worried she won’t see much of Lewis so it is a big factor that will deeply affect her decision.”

Scherzinger has already made clear to the show’s bosses that if she were to return she’d want her £750,000 fee doubled, but she has still not been confirmed as a judge on the show.

The exact composition of the panel is still very much up in the air, with Tulisa not likely to  return and Simon Cowell hopeful he can persuade Sharon Osbourne to return and take her place.

Rumors are flying this week as photos taken at an LA night club show bad boy Chris Brown getting up close and personal with former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. While initial reports from celebrity gossip site 17 online claimed the two were caught kissing on the dance floor, Sherzinger maintains that the only reason the two appear so cozy in pics is that the club was very loud and they were having trouble hearing one another. A source who was at the club that night said “They were dancing close for a while and being all touchy-feely and finally Chris leaned into her. She put her head on his shoulder and they started kissing! I couldn’t believe Chris was being so obvious about it!” A rep for Sherzinger contacted TMZ shortly after the photos emerged to deny the claims “There is absolutely no truth to the ridiculous story. The photos that have surfaced are old friends who were trying to talk at a very loud club.” Reps for Brown told the same story, denying that the two are anything more than old friends.
