Nicole Scherzinger says she wishes Britney Spears luck in her new judging role on The X Factor.
The Pussycat Doll was ousted from the show by Simon Cowell after just one season of the singing competition show.
And Nicole told E! News that she has only warm regards for Britney and fellow new judge Demi Lovato, although she won't have much time to see them in action.
'I don't watch a lot of television,' Nicole told the site. 'I'll try to watch it when I can though.'
'I wish them the best of luck, I'm excited for them.'
Britney recently tweeted about her excitement of heading out on the road to conduct auditions around America.
She will be joined by Simon, Demi and L.A. Reid. A new host for the show has not yet been revealed after Welsh presenter Steve Jones was also fired.
Leona Lewis is to be a guest judge on 'The X Factor' according to reports.
The 'Bleeding Love' singer - who won the series in 2006 - will return to the show that made her famous as a guest panelist for tomorrow's (26.05.12) London auditions at the O2 Arena.
Leona joins other big names including Robbie Williams and Rita Ora who have been lined up for temporary stints on the programme.
A source told The Sun: ''Leona isn't exactly the harshest critic in the world but she has experience of singing - and being on the 'X Factor'.''
She has sold ten million albums worldwide since winning the third series.
Meanwhile bosses have apparently recruited ex-Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger for the third London session after plans for Robbie to join the panel that day fell through.
She had originally impressed Simon Cowell when she was a stand-in judge two years ago in the UK.
However it was announced she would not be returning to the US series earlier this year after she replaces axed Cheryl Cole in the first American season.
A source said: ''Whatever happened in the US, Simon knows Nicole is a pro. Brits like her and she has the sex factor.''
