The 'Try With Me' singer says she doesn't know anything about rumours Tulisa is set to leave the show.

Nicole Scherzinger has named Jack Black as her ideal candidate to join the new series of The X Factor UK if any of the current judges do not return.

The 'Boomerang' singer joined the ITV show's panel last year and proved one of the series' biggest successes, and has given Jack her vote if rumours Tulisa is set to leave the show turn out to be true.

"I don't know what's going on with Tulisa, that's her business," Nicole told The Sun this week. "I had a great relationship with her, she did a brilliant job.

"A dream judge? I'd love to be back with the same ones but I think Jack Black would be great," Nicole revealed. "He's off the wall but knows his music."

Despite promising that she has yet to have any official talks about a potential return to the show Nicole says she is open to having a "tickle" with the idea.

"We haven't had talks about it [but] I would definitely tickle with the idea," Nicole promised. "I went out on a high last year, it was better than I expected.

"Right now I'm focused on my music and trying not to get ahead of myself."

Last month the 'Try With Me' singer said she was proud to have survived "the jungle" of The X Factor UK.

The X Factor UK is expected to announce the judging panel for the 2013 series in the coming months.
