Nicole Scherzinger has pulled out the Broadway run of 'Cats'to return to U.K. X-Factor, according to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The former Pussycat Doll starred as Grizabella in the 2014 London revival of Lloyd Webber's classic musical, and she was set to reprise the role when the show returned to Broadway for previews beginning on July 14.
While rumours have been swirling that Nicole is set to return to The X Factor, on which she worked as a judge in 2012 and 2013, the famed composer/theatre producer has more or less confirmed the news by saying that he felt foolish when he learnt the singer was no longer going to be partaking in Cats.
"A week before we were going to go into rehearsal with Cats on Broadway, which luckily I'm not producing, she calls me and says she's decided she wants to do X Factor, having agreed everything," he told The Economist Radio.

Cher Lloyd has suggested that Rita Ora may struggle when she joins The X Factor as there's only one "golden girl" for Simon Cowell... no, not Sinitta - Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.
The former X Factor contestant revealed that she was "shocked" music mogul Cowell hired 'Poison' singer Ora for the ITV talent show.
"I was very surprised that Simon hired Rita," Lloyd told Heat magazine.
"I was shocked - that's for sure. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, but I guess she's young and very influential. She's definitely on trend, but we'll see..."
The 21-year-old added: "No-one is going to fill Cheryl's shoes without a fight, and anyone who knows Cheryl knows she'll always be Simon's golden girl - she won't let Rita get close to where she's at."
Lloyd was mentored by Fernandez-Versini on the show back in 2010, but the pair had a public fall-out...

Cher Lloyd has said that she wants to confront Louis Walsh after he called her a "spoilt child".
Last year, Walsh named Lloyd as the most difficult act to work with on The X Factor, reigniting a war of words between the pair.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the singer said that she hoped her former X Factor colleague would express his feelings to her face in future.
"It's something I find very strange, especially from an older gentleman against a young girl," she said. "But I'm much older and much more experienced, so it would be good to have a conversation with him now.
"To make a comment about someone you worked with two or three years ago who was 16 years old at the time, it was a little bit unnecessary. I must be on his mind. Bless."
When asked if she had bumped into Walsh recently, she joked: "No,...
