Nicole Scherzinger, Steve Jones and Paula Abdul confirmed for X Factor USA

American singer Nicole Scherzinger and Welsh TV presenter Steve Jones have been confirmed to host the X Factor USA, whilst singer Paula Abdul has been confirmed as the final judge.

Following last week's announcement that Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole would be joining Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid on the judging panel for the American version of The X Factor, over the weekend, the last few confirmations were made.

Ex-T4 presenter Steve Jones and former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger have been confirmed to host the show as a duo. Reportedly, the news was leaked on Twitter by Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman. It was later confirmed by Cowell himself who said: "These two are going to be great together."

In addition to this announcement, it has been confirmed that former American Idol judge Paula Abdul will be joining Cowell, Reid and Cole on the panel, as a judge.

Yesterday, on the same day that Abdul finalised the details of her contract, all of the judging panel gathered in Los Angeles for the first round of auditions.
