Former X-Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger may swap places with Rita Ora to join rival talent show The Voice.

Nicole would take Rita’s spot on the show, which is currently vacant after the Poison singer moved in the other direction – to become an X-Factor judge.

The former Pussycat Doll, 37, will fly over for talks with BBC executives this week, according to The Sun.

Nicole was a judge on The X-Factor from 2012 to 2013, winning in her first year with James Arthur, but quit to focus on her music.

However, she may now sign up as a coach on The Voice, joining her close friend Will.i.am.

Last month, it was announced that Rita Ora, 24, had left The Voice to join this year’s X-Factor judging panel, alongside Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, and her friend Nick Grimshaw.
