X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger has revealed that she is currently working in the studio with protégée Jahmene Douglas.

Scherzinger, who rose to fame as the lead singer of successful group the Pussycat Dolls mentored Jahmene through his stint on the show and took him all the way to the finals and second place.

Jahmene was quickly signed to Sony after the show’s conclusion.

Nicole tweeted a picture of her and Jahmene in the studio with the accompanying message: "In the studio tonight with my jahmazing @jahmenedouglas :)."

Nicole revealed in an interview with website Digital Spy that she maintains contact with the contestants she helped through the show. She told them: "Of course! We don't speak every day but they seem to be trucking along really well. I'm happy for all my boys.

"They've just got off the tour, and I know Jahmene is working on music right now."

This year’s X Factor is set for a serious reboot after it was revealed that Nicole will not be returning for this series, and Tulisa is unlikely to either.

There has been much speculation as to who will be replacing them and names that have been thrown about include Sharon Osbourne and Robbie Williams though the final judges are yet to be confirmed.
