"Nicole Scherzinger has said that she will not wear her heart on her sleeve as much when she returns to The X Factor. The former Pussycat Dolls star returns to the UK this year after an extended guest judge slot, following a single year on the panel of The X Factor USA.  &amp;quot;X Factor UK has a special place in my heart,&amp;quot; Scherzinger told Cosmopolitan. &amp;quot;The thing I battled with last year [on X Factor USA] was the rejection part, having to let contestants go. &amp;quot;But I&amp;#039;ve grown so much since then. I&amp;#039;ll make sure I continue to give 110% of me but not wear my heart on my sleeve as much.&amp;quot;  She added of her stint on the US show: &amp;quot;People didn&amp;#039;t see I committed six days a week and put everything to one side to help those contestants. &amp;quot;You only have one person to answer to at the end of the night, and if you&amp;#039;re happy with yourself that&amp;#039;s all that matters. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s hard when you feel the pressure. Sometimes people lose their identity in this industry. But I refuse to waver from who I am.&amp;quot;  Of the supposed female rivalry on such shows, she added: &amp;quot;Women should empower each other. &amp;quot;I felt close to Paula [Abdul] when I did X Factor in the US as well, and it&amp;#039;s great to work with Tulisa [Contostavlos] - she&amp;#039;s a cool chick. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re all on the same team together; she&amp;#039;s really fun. I love her a lot.&amp;quot; The full interview appears in the September issue of British Cosmopolitan, on sale August 9.
