Nicole Scherzinger believes she had a strong hand in creating X Factor boy band One Direction and that Simon Cowell ought to be grateful.
The Pussycat Doll appeared as a guest judge on the series last year and saw the potential in solo auditionees Harry Styles, 17, Zain ‘Zayn’ Malik, 18, Louis Tomlinson, 19, Liam Payne, 17, and Niall Horan, 17.
‘Simon has me to thank for putting One Direction together,’ Nicole, 32, tells The Sun.
‘But I don’t get any credit.
‘I won’t be getting a cut of the money they make him.’
