Sam Bailey has the last laugh

Despite upstaging  X Factor winner Sam Bailey, Nicole Scherzinger looked anything but happy as she exited her wrap party before jetting out of London.

Sam Bailey was all smiles as she exited the BBC studios in London after securing the Christmas Number One spot on the UK Chart Show.

Sam Bailey had previously performed a duet with X Factor UK judge Nicole Scherzinge. Nicole appeared to have upstaged the fledgling star.

Nicole who split from F1 driving ace Lewis Hamilton this year looked downbeat and in fact was on the paper the weakest judge on this years X Factor UK.

A photographer said: “Although Nicole was happy to glam-up for her weekly TV appearances away from the bright lights the star appeared to shun the limelight and barely raised a smile.”

Nicole who is very popular amongst the UK viewers is yet to confirm whether she will return for Next years X Factor UK.
