X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger has posted a picture online from the judge’s houses section of the show and in doing so has revealed the identity of her guest mentor for this year.

Mary J. Blige will be joining Nicole and her contestants in Antigua in order to help her whittle numbers down ahead of the X Factor live shows.

The photo was posted on Nicole’s Instagram account with the caption “Just had an amazing day w/ @brooklynnblige for my X Factor Judges houses in Antigua. I love you Mary thank you so much #QueenMJB”.

Although it has been 100% confirmed who the other judges are working with, it is rumoured that Gary Barlow has bought former X Factor contestant Olly Murs with him to New York and Sharon Osbourne has claimed Barlow’s Band mate Robbie Williams as her guest mentor.

Louis Walsh is thought to have had help from three different popstars in the form of Westlife’s Shane Filan, Nicole Appleton of the All Saints and Sinitta.
