`The X Factor` UK judge is planning a musical comeback after proving successful on the hit ITV1 series, and hopes to emulate the success of former judge Cheryl Cole.

She told Heat magazine: "I put my album aside for my boys on `The X Factor` and I`m coming back next year really strong. I`ll be coming back blazing with my single `Boomerang`."

The singer considers the UK to be her "second home" and is even considering moving across the pond permanently following her success on `The X Factor`.

She added: "I actually like the British weather and I`m getting good at the accent, too.

"Britain is my second home now. I`m not going anywhere!"

Nicole has also recently told how she spent her whole time in girl group Pussycat Dolls - who she sung with from 2003 to 2010 - feeling insecure.

She said: "I spent 10 years - the whole time I was in the Pussycat Dolls - as two people, one on stage and then behind closed doors. I was this girl who was lost and lonely, hating myself.

"Just because you wear a corset and dance doesn`t mean you think you are beautiful. I was unbelievably insecure and I couldn`t control it. My metabolism was all messed up. I was losing the one thing I only ever wanted to do: sing. I saw therapists, psychiatrists, life coaches and dealt with it head on."
