Nicole Scherzinger sparks reports of drinking on X Factor AGAIN after posting picture with a half-drunk bottle of champagne in the background


Nicole Scherzinger sparked reports that she was drunk on Saturday's X Factor show after she tweeted a picture of herself with an empty bottle of sparkling wine and a full glass of red wine.

The X Factor judge captioned the picture: ‘Please vote for my #SCHERZYGIRLS Thank u to my #Schamazing Glam team.’

The former Pussycat Dolls singer was forced to deny being drunk on the ITV show earlier this month, after appearing on the Disco themed show in higher spirits than usual, even forgetting to introduce one of her acts.

Posting the picture on Twitter after the show, four wine glasses can clearly be seen along with a half-drunk bottle of sparkling rose wine and a half-drunk glass of what appears to be red wine.

During the 10th Anniversary show earlier on Saturday night, viewers took to Twitter to express their worries about Nicole’s behaviour.

One Twitter user called Ross Joseph asked: ‘Is @NicoleScherzy drunk again?! #XFactor’

Another called Just Pops added: 'Nicole Scherzinger alwaaaaays seems as if she's drunk!'

These worries come after Nicole denied she had been drinking before judging on the X Factor at the beginning of November, with a spokesperson saying ‘she was just getting into disco spirit’.

Despite the suggestions, Nicole looked stunning in the Twitter picture, with her long hair flowing and a slick of red lipstick.

She had changed outfits from the black cut-out dress she wore on the judging panel during the show, into a simple white T-shirt.

Just hours after the singer posted the picture of herself on Twitter she was spotted heading to a central London nightclub.

A spokesperson for Nicole has denied the X Factor star had been drinking.


Dressed in a black suit with a black cropped top on, Nicole was pictured entering the Arts Club with just her phone in her hand.

The singer was also pictured leaving the Arts Club yesterday, with her hair piled onto one shoulder and having swapped her previous rouge lipstick for a fuchsia pink gloss.

A representative from X Factor told MailOnline: 'Nicole wasn't drinking last night before, during or after the show. The drinks in the photo belonged to other people who were in her dressing room.'
