The Six Chair Challenge often leaves judges clashing with the audience and viewers shouting at their TV screens in frustration.

And this weekend's round will prove all too much for Nicole Scherzinger, who storms out of the arena after being viciously booed over an unpopular decision she made.

In scenes set to air on Saturday, the furious Pussycat Dolls star, 39, slams the stage doors in rage as she stalks out after clashing with head judge Simon Cowell over her judgement - which he branded 'madness'.

Channelling menswear tailoring, Nicole looked stunning in this three-piece suit by J.Lindeberg. Created in luxe Italian fabric, the white and grey colourway adds a contemporary spin on the traditional double-breasted design. Nicole flung her blazer over her shoulders and added a fedora for an edgier feel.

We love these three pieces worn together, but they would also look great as separates. Pair this blazer with boyfriend jeans, a plain tee and loafers for instant off-duty style. Click (right) to buy it now.

The scene centres around Nicole, who mentors the Over-25s, sending home one contestant in favour of another.

Predicting the mayhem when all six chairs are filled, she covers her face as she winces to Sharon Osbourne: 'Now I've got to let everybody go!'

And after watching the last singer perform, she initially seems unimpressed - telling them: 'I was hoping to connect with that performance more and I didn't.'

But she goes on to add: 'But what wins for me is that I love a fighter and you're a fighter. And I want you on my team!'

Wrong move? The chaos unfolds when she picks a popular contestant to leave so that the last singer can take their place

Eek! Her decision sends the other three judges Simon, Sharon and Louis Walsh standing up out of their chairs in shock, shouting 'What? No!' as Simon bellows: 'That is crazy! That is madness!'

The chaos unfolds when she picks a popular contestant to leave so that the last singer can take their place.

Her decision sends the other three judges Simon, Sharon and Louis Walsh knocking their chairs over in shock, shouting 'What? No!'

A bewildered Simon bellows at her: 'That is crazy! That is madness!'

Nicole seems subdued as she looks helplessly at the crowd, who fill the arena with deafening boos and calls for her to bring the contestant back.

Fierce: Nicole is mentoring the Over-25s group this year, which includes Slavko Kalezic, a 31-year-old actor from Montenegro

Strong competition: Joining him is Loverine Fermino - a 31-year-old singer from the Philippines - and 45-year-old Berget Lewis

As the singer walks dejectedly off the stage, even host Dermot O'Leary seems appalled, crying 'No, no, no!'

Wrapping the singer in his arms, he mutters 'This is insane'.

As the boos in the arena get even louder, it becomes too much for Nicole, who shoots up out of her chair and stalks out of stage door.

Taking out her frustration on the door, she pushes it furiously as she storms away from the cameras.

Dramatic: The episode also sees Simon decide who goes through to the Judges Houses round. Pictured, Scottish siblings The Cutkelvins

Quite the spectacle: Also fighting for a place in the live shows are Afro-Swagg - Adasnoop, 31, is a fitness instructor from Thamesmead and Kingsley, 39, is a sales coordinator from London

The showdown comes as it was alleged Nicole may be replaced by Cheryl as a judge on the X Factor, amid claims she's set to reunite with The Pussycat Dolls.

Cheryl will appear as Simon's guest judge during the Judges' Houses round - and Dan Wootton speculated that the stint was a 'test run' before she returns for good.

Speaking on Lorraine on Friday, he said: 'I have a sneaky suspicion that Cheryl may well be back in a full-time role as judge on The X Factor next year.'

Dan added: 'I think Simon is desperate to get Cheryl back on that judging panel. I think this could have been a bit of a test run to see if they get on and if they would bond.'

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Nicole for comment.
