Steve Jones And Nicole Scherzinger To Host X Factor USA

Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones will host X Factor USA, it’s been announced.

Scherzinger, a former Pussycat Dolls star, has previously appears on the UK version, while Jones is best known for his work on T4.

He said he “couldn’t be happier” to have secured the role of co-host.

"The ability to work day in and day out with Simon Cowell is a dream come true,” he said.

"I have been approached about working in the States before, but never felt right about those opportunities, but when The X Factor came up, I leapt at the opportunity."

Cowell said: "I have always wanted Steve to work with us, I think he is a real star. Nicole is fantastic. I loved working with her on the UK X Factor last year. She is gorgeous and super-talented."

The announcement comes in the same week that Cheryl Cole was confirmed as a judge alongside Cowell and LA Reid.
