Natalia Kills has decided to change her name to Teddy Sinclair following her sacking from The X Factor in New Zealand. 

The singer and talent show TV judge has taken action following the backlash surrounding her bullying of a contestant for dressing and acting like her husband, Willie Moon.

Kills (real name Natalia Noemi Keery-Fisher) labelled the onstage singer "creepy" and "disgusting".

Confirming the news on Instagram she addressed the new title, Teddy Sinclair, as a combined version of a nickname and her husband's real last name.

"For a long time the friends and family closest to me have called me Teddy, and my husband decided it would be beautiful to spend the rest of my life with my most intimate name united with my new married name."

Having brushed off the X Factor altercation, Kills addressed her fans: "So for a year I have been Mrs Teddy Natalia Noemi Sinclair, and I've never felt so natural, honest and empowered... And I'm finally ready to invite you all to address me personally as I feel we are so close and I am so grateful for your support and love." 

Kills released her second album, Trouble, in 2013.
