Nicole Scherzinger is being lured to perform on both 'Strictly Come Dancing' and 'The X Factor'.
The 'Your Love' singer, 36, is at the centre of a tug of war between the BBC and ITV, with the former keen to see Nicole snub the chance to appear on her old show when she promotes her new album later this year.
An insider told the Daily Star: "Nicole is one of the sexiest pop babes around.
"When she releases her album everyone will want her on their show. 'Strictly' want to get the upper hand and feel having a former 'X Factor' judge on their show will do just that.
"If Nicole goes on 'The X Factor' then she will have to perform in front of Cheryl. The media furore it will create will be intense, everyone will be looking for some sort of clash between them."
The former Pussycat Dolls singer is due to release her new solo album at the same time 'Strictly' and 'The X Factor' return to screens, leaving Nicole with a big decision to make in terms of which show she appears on.
BBC bosses are keen for Nicole to perform one of her new tracks on their results shows, knowing it is likely to boost audience figures.
The American star quit the 'X Factor' judging panel earlier this year after two series on the ITV singing competition.

Tom Daley insists his TV career hasn't distracted him from diving.
The 20-year-old diver, who starred on ITV reality show 'Splash!' for two series, says winning a gold medal at the Olympics is still his top goal in life and doesn't feel his newfound fame as a TV star has harmed his training in any way.
He said: "The TV shows I've done have always fitted around my training and I learned to compartmentalise different aspects of my life from a very young age. I think it's good to have other interests and I actually think they benefit my diving as I go into each training session feeling fresh and motivated.
"My goal has always been winning an Olympic gold [medal], it's the only diving accolade I'm missing. I wouldn't train 30 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, if I didn't love what I do."
Tom, who also travelled the world for an ITV2 reality show, says his TV work has been a welcome addition to his life since leaving school.
He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "In terms of the TV shows, they've given me something else to focus on away from the pool.
"I'm not at school anymore, so if I didn't do anything else outside of diving I'd probably go mad!"

Kerry Washington's parents were "terrified" about her decision to be an actress.
The 37-year-old star may have been nominated for an Emmy award for her role as Olivia Pope in drama series 'Scandal', but her mother initially encouraged her to become a lawyer rather than pursue a career in TV and film.
When asked by Stylist magazine if her parents were fearful about her career change, former yoga supply teacher Kerry explained: "Terrified! My mother tried to talk me into doing a million other things. She used to say, 'Don't be an actor. Be a lawyer for actors.'
"I think every parent fears their child will be a starving artist - and with good reason because so many people wind up on that path. I'm very grateful they allowed me to pursue my dreams."
Kerry - who has three-month-old daughter Isabelle with husband Nnamdi Asomugha - did admit that she almost gave up on acting, after giving herself just one year to make it into a full time job.
She shared: "I had a really specific plan. I gave myself a year after undergraduate school to see if I could make some money. If it didn't work out I told myself I would go back to graduate or law school.
"If it didn't work out, I was willing to do other things for work. I wanted to at least give myself a shot, to invest in my own heart and passions.
"And I'm very lucky I was able to do a movie in that first year ['Our Song' in 2000] because I'm not sure I would've stuck with it otherwise. I'm very grateful that happened."

Katy Perry has posted a video of what appears to be her dressed in a giant pizza costume.
The 'Dark Horse' hitmaker has taken to her Instagram account to share a video of someone, likely herself, dressed in a head-to-toe pizza costume while playing with a small, fluffy dog.
The costume in question is a onesie-style jumpsuit complete with zip-up hood - meaning the fancy-dress enthusiast's face is hidden from the camera - and a cheese and pepperoni pizza design.
The 29-year-old singer - who is a big fan of fancy dress judging by the time she wore a McDonald's Happy Meal sweatshirt on the red carpet and the night she dressed as a giant bowl of popcorn while she promoted her concert movie - captioned the video, "Killer pizza bruh", followed by a number of emoticons of slices of pizza and sharp knives.
The mysterious figure is seen sitting crouched down on their knees, bending backwards and forwards, giggling and roaring while a playful dog chewing on the costume's sleeve continues to bark in excitement.
Meanwhile, Katy recently revealed she'd like to star in the musical version of the cult film 'Clueless', according to the movie's director Amy Heckerling - who has penned the lyrics for the stage show.
Amy said: "[It's in the] really, really, early, early stages.
"Katy Perry has expressed interest, and I love her to death."

Madonna's daughter is relieved to have finished high school.
Lourdes Leon, 17, whose father is personal trainer Carlos Leon, is set to attend the University of Michigan later this year, where she will pursue a bachelor's degree of fine arts in drama and theatre and could not be happier that her high school days are over.
Blogging on the Material Girl website, she wrote: "I don't know if u heard (sarcasm) but I GRADUATED. GRAAAAAD. UATED. From High School. It's very difficult to wrap my head around because I feel like its something I've been talking about FOR EVER and it finally happened.
"There also isn't the ominous presence of another year of high school and test taking up ahead like there usually is when you're about mid way into the beautiful summer (sic)."
Lourdes also revealed that she attended New York City's LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts prom with her classmates and despite some "awkward" moments, she had a great time.
She wrote: "A week before graduation I attended the classic party every American teenager goes to despite the really bad music - this is known as prom. What can I say? Those of you who have been probably know exactly what I'm talking about.
"Of course I had a beautiful time but I'll attribute that to the fact that I partied with my awesome friends all night.
"Not to mention awkwardly avoiding teachers because you may or may not have had some champagne and it would be weird to talk to them.
"I got to spend an entire weekend kicking it with my high school homies. It was a great way to end the year.(sic)"

Ray J has been charged with sexual battery for allegedly groping a woman's breast.
It was revealed yesterday (22.07.14) the 'I Hit It First' singer has been charged with 10 misdemeanour offences after being arrested at the Beverly Wilshire hotel in May and new details have now emerged over one of the charges following some confusion.
Police had originally been called to the Beverly Hills establishment after the singer - who is the younger brother of Brandy Norwood - had brushed up against a woman's butt, but officers at the time insisted it wasn't sexual battery because the contact was incidental.
However, according to TMZ, Ray was seen by multiple witnesses, both staff and patrons, grabbing a woman's chest, prompting the sexual battery charge.
Both the hotel lobby and bar are filled with surveillance cameras which cover every angle of both rooms, while another witness described the singer as "wacked out on something" when he entered the bar.
The 33-year-old star will be arraigned on all 10 charges on Friday (25.07.14), but is not required to be in court.
As well as sexual battery, the singer faces four charges of resisting arrest, three counts of assault and battery, and two counts of vandalism.
After being asked to leave the hotel due to his "rowdy" antics, Ray - who is best known for appearing in a sex tape with then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian - refused to go so security made a citizen's arrest.
Law enforcement officers then arrived at the scene and the R&B star allegedly kicked out the back window of the police car and spat in an arresting officer's face as he was being handcuffed.

Steve Carell is to produce and appear in new Disney film 'Brooklyn Family Robinson'. The comedian, who is best known for his starring roles in 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' and comedy series 'The Office', is to produce the project with Charl...

The new 'Fantastic Four' will be "different from other comic book films".
Scriptwriter Simon Kinberg has promised the ambitious reboot of the superhero franchise will be unlike anything fans have seen in previous movies in the genre, such as 'The Avengers' and the 'X-Men' films.
He told Latino-Review.com: "We are hopefully going to be refining the way the people see the 'Fantastic Four' movies. There are so many things we are doing different from the previous film and so many things different from other comic books films."
The Josh Trank-directed movie will be a stark departure from the critically mauled 2005 and 2007 'Fantastic Four' films which starred Jessica Alba and Chris Evans.
The new take will star Kate Mara as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
Kinberg is also the writing talent behind the acclaimed 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' - as well as its 2016 follow-up 'X-Men: Apocalypse' - but fans shouldn't expect an 'Avengers'-style crossover between the two series.
The scribe explained: "I would love to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four team up if only because I'm a fan and certainly it's something we've thought about and talked about.
"The challenge is that they essentially live in different universes. In the 'X-Men' world of the movies, we never hear them talk about a famous super team called the Fantastic Four and in the 'Fantastic Four' movie, they are fantastic because they are the only ones of their kind, meaning there aren't other people with super powers on the streets.
"So given that they exist in these different domains or dimensions there are some inherent challenges."

Nick Jonas' new song 'Chains' describes how he felt trapped in the Jonas Brothers.
The 21-year-old singer and his brothers Kevin, 26, and Joe, 24, disbanded their squeaky clean band last year and with his new solo single, Nick details his unhappiness at how they were perceived but friends now say he no longer "gives a s**t" what people think of him.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "'Chains' is a metaphor for what he has been feeling all these years.
"He feels free now for the first time in his life. He's making music he believes in. He's done saying sorry for everything and trying to be perfect. He's just going to be himself; if people like him, great, if not, he's done giving a s**t."
The steamy video for the song features Sean Penn's daughter Dylan and will be a departure from the Jonas Brothers.
Friends of Nick have also claimed he found the Jonas Brothers a "burden" and now finally "feels free".
The pal said: "Nick has spent years experiencing a burden that's hard to explain. He's not blaming anyone for it; it's just what fame does to people, especially at a young age.
"Different people respond in different ways - some do drugs and act out, but his response was to conform to what he thought people wanted him to be. Remember, he was a 13 year-old kid when he became famous. For example: He thought that when he slept in a hotel room on tour, people would talk s**t about him if he didn't make his own bed. So he made it."

Calvin Harris is taking a break from writing for other artists to concentrate on his own music.
The DJ - who has worked with stars including Ellie Goulding, Cheryl Cole and Chris Brown - wants to focus on his own career and plans to finish his new album before he helps out anyone else.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's very rarely that I have to deal with it face-to-face. Usually, it's not really a case of turning them down, it's the case of I've got too much on. Do you know what I mean?
"It's a serious thing. I've got to finish my album, I have to take care of me before I take care of anyone else."
And one person Calvin has no desire to help is his ex-girlfriend Rita Ora as it was recently claimed their split has has left plans for her new album in chaos.
Rita, 23, recorded a number of songs with her former beau - including hit single 'I Will Never Let You Down' - but he's now said that she cannot release any more of the tunes they made together.
A source previously said: "Rita's album has hit a bit of a road block after Calvin pulled all the songs he had worked on for the project before they split.
"He'd made a lot of songs for her but they're now likely to go to other artists."
It's been reported that the pair made at least a dozen tracks together, which were to represent the bulk of the eagerly-awaited record.
The source added: "Calvin wants a clean break, personally and professionally. He's already given her one massive hit so doesn't feel her owes her.
"He doesn't want to be linked to her, especially now she's in a new relationship with Rich Hilfiger."

Britain's Duchess of Cambridge is related to Beatrix Potter.
The 32-year-old wife of Prince William - who is second in line to the throne - is a distant relative of the famed children's author who was born in London in 1866.
Duchess Catherine nee Middleton is related to Beatrix through her great-great-great uncle, Dr Arthur Lupton, whose brother in law, Lord Ashton, 1st Baron Ashton of Hyde, was the Peter Rabbit creator's cousin, reports Telegraph.co.uk.
The pretty brunette's family also own some of the writer's original hand-painted illustrations.
Art historian Micheal Reed said: "Beatrix had given the Middleton family a number of her own drawings, including four for Kate's blood cousins, sisters Elinor and Elizabeth - who were the daughters of Dr Lupton.
"These four drawings were auctioned in 2006 and sold for £41,500."
News of the Duchess' ancestry comes just days after her mother Carole Middleton threw a Peter Rabbit-themed first birthday bash for her and Prince William's son, Prince George.
The party was held at the Middleton's family home outside Bucklebury in Berkshire where party planner Carole brought Beatrix Potter's stories to life.
A friend of the family previously said: "When she chooses a theme there's no holding back.
'There will be pictures and posters everywhere, vol au vents in the shape of rabbits, fun trails, you name it."

Cheryl Cole's husband bought £10,000 worth of red roses for their wedding party.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer and her new husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini celebrated their recent nuptials with a party for family and friends at The Library members club in London on Monday night (21.07.14) and the hunky businessman is said to have had the venue filled "from top to bottom" with flowers.
A friend of the couple revealed: "The party was very special for Cheryl and JB, it was a chance to celebrate with their nearest and dearest. It was still a very small affair.
"Cheryl told the guests how in love she was and Jean pulled out all the stops with hundreds of red roses. He had done a similar thing for her 31st birthday and that went down really well."
The newly-married couple's guests - who included Cheryl's former Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts, JLS's Marvin Humes and his The Saturdays singer wife Rochelle Humes - all dressed according to the monochrome theme while food was provided by the La Roche restaurant across the road.
Cheryl and JB also had a four-tiered wedding cake with flavours including Chocolate Oreo, lime and coconut.
One of Cheryl's guests told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was beautiful. It was very low key. The speech was absolutely fabulous. Cheryl spoke of her commitment to Jean and how much she cared for him. She made sure she spoke to everyone in the room.
"We don't know Jean-Bernard that well but he seems a really lovely guy. He's made quite an impression."
Cheryl and JB got married during a secret ceremony on the Caribbean island of Mustique earlier this month after just three months of dating.
