I must point out, I personally don't mind Nick, I think it's been nice to see a change on the panel. However in the past Nick has always been critical of certain X Factor judges and the show itself.




He had a game on his radio show in 2012 discussing how annoying Nicole Scherzinger was and constantly tweeted "Shut up Nicole" (which mysteriously dissapeared when he had to interview her)

He also tweeted some very opinionated thoughts during the live shows etc

I know it's hardly greatly offensive, but with his first lot of auditions and bootcamp seen as a bit of a non event, plus the bad press, is he getting a taste of his own back?

As the saying goes, what goes around comes around.

I always thought he was fond of Nicole - on his radio show I seem to remember her joining the team on a karaoke night out.
One of my favourite tweets of his regarding X Factor was the week after Tamera was criticised for looking like Beyonce whilst singing "Listen" - "Tamera looks soooo not like Beyonce this week" with the eyes emoji.

I like it - it shows he's a fan of the show in the same way we all are. How many of you would relish the opportunity to judge X Factor, but have said similar things on here or on social media?

Nick is a bit of a bitch on his radio show, its tongue in cheek. Id rather have someone with a personality who actually likes the show than dead behind the eyes Cheryl Cole.

I suspect he has been edited to look like the boring one to make Cheryl and Simon look better.

True.

I think Nick is a okay judge he just doesn't have as much to say he's a "nice" judge.
Simon has stuck up for Nick so I don't think he hates Nick at all although I don't think.
He was brought in as the peoples judge .

I'm sure he'll get some flack during the lives. Nick is bitchy and nasty sometimes, not even in a funny way. Can't say I'd feel bad for him.
