UK Rap Star Tinie Tempah may be on the verge of cracking America but it also appears that he is already close to bagging his first American Lady too. After appearing the the US X Factor, Tinie was seen getting very close to Judge Nicole Scherzinger.

Miss Scherzinger has kept the media at bay with her decision to get back with ex boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, however after reports from the US show it appears that she maybe showing us exactly what her thoughts on the matter are by flirting the night away with Mr Tempah.

A source from the show insisted that the two hit it off straight away and everybody could see that there was a spark between them.

“Tinie met all the judges backstage, and the hit it off with Nicole instantly. She was flirting outrageously and it got to the point where all the crew where whispering about something going on. During the rehearsal for the group performance, Tinie sat next to Nicole on one of the audience seats and the pair started dancing together and were being extremely touch-feely. Everyone was eating lunch and Nicole took Tinie to her dressing room after she’d been going on about the delicious treats she’d bought back from her recent trip to Hawaii that he had to try.”

Head Honcho Simon Cowell laughed it off when he had heard Tinie was in Nicole’s dressing room and said ‘Another one bites the dust’.

Could this be the start of something special?
