X Factor: Nicole dances on table risking wardrobe malfunction
Rumours have been circulating that the 39-year-old judge could be stepping down from her place on the ITV panel with Cheryl, 34, tipped to replace her.
However, Nicole Scherzinger has hit back at reports, insisting that she "loves" her job on the show.
"I love it so most likely I will come back," she teased. "I never know what's going to happen but The X Factor feels like family to me."
The brunette bombshell told OK! Magazine: "The show is too much fun for me not to come back.
"I love this job and I love this country," she added.
Nicole went on to reveal that, contrary to rumours, she has been asked to return to the judging panel.
Her comments come after Simon Cowell, 57, appeared to hint that ex-judge Cheryl could be set to make a proper return to the series next year.
