Are X Factor judges Tulisa Contostavlos abd Nicole Scherzinger already at war?

We’re going to wait for live shows to start (because that’s when the real drama begins) before we make up our mind on that issue, but according to certain ‘sources’ the ladies of the X Factor judging panel are already on the outs.

"Nicole and Tulisa are already rubbing each other up the wrong way,” a source has told The MailOnline.

 "Tulisa thinks Nicole hogs the limelight, singing and getting to her feet during auditions. It really aggravates Tulisa. And Nicole fawns over Gary Barlow, getting really touchy-feely with him at every opportunity."

Since Nicole was announced as the official full-time replacement for departed judge Kelly Rowland, both the Pussycat Doll and the N-Dubzer have gone to great lengths to insist that they get on just fine!

In fact, Tulisa has already been so angered by the media trying to stir up rumours of the feud that she took to Twitter back in July and wrote,

“P*** off media with all ur me n @NicoleScherzy beef talk! Ur always guna try and make a headline cus uve got nothin good 2 write about...

“We get on fine!Just coz we r different doesnt mean we dont like each other!n if we didnt..believe me,Id let u know #hatebulls***,” Tulisa ranted.

Do you think that there will be as many spats and fallings out on this year’s show as there was during last year’s X Factor?
