The former Pussycat Doll has still not agreed to join the new series, although she held talks with producers last week.
She is the only judge earmarked for the new-look panel not to have committed so far - with Sharon Osbourne, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh all expected to sign on the dotted line.
Nicole has reportedly been offered £1million to join the ITV show, but doesn’t know whether she can commit herself because she has a new album to promote in November.
Last night a source close to Nicole said she did intend to sign up for the show - when she had hammered out a deal.
But bosses don’t want a repeat of last year when Dannii Minogue pulled out at the last minute, forcing them to draft in guest judges.
Mel has been brought back into the frame after her schedule was freed up following her withdrawal from Australia’s Got Talent.
An insider said: “Nicole is causing some worry. Bosses want her after her success last year, but she doesn’t know if she can give all her energy to the show.
“Producers don’t want to be left in the lurch like last year so Mel is being lined up in case talks fail.”
