Nicole Scherzinger has praised her 'X Factor USA' co-host Steve Jones, saying they have "good chemistry" together.
The pair recently began filming along the judging panel at auditions in Los Angeles and Chicago.
Scherzinger said to Star magazine: "He's really great. We have a good chemistry. I've never been a host before so it's nice to have someone with that experience."
Discussing the pairing, she said: "It was Simon's choice. But the way I look at it, I have never really hosted before, so it's a new challenge for me."
Scherzinger previously appeared as a guest judge on the UK version of 'The X Factor', and insisted that she can "handle" herself against the show's creator Simon Cowell.
