Nicole told Access Hollywood: “[A]ll I know is that I gave 110 percent to that show.” She added, “I know everybody’s talking about it, they’re saying good, bad, they love me or hate me, but the one thing you can’t say is that I didn’t give it my all.”

“I had a wonderful experience on the show,” Nicole reminisced. “I loved being a part of my X Factor family. Nothing could obviously prepare me for everything I had to go through, all the emotions and stuff, but I have no regrets. I’ve always believed in never looking back and just moving forward and I’ve got an amazing year to look forward to.”
