New Couple Alert?

Well, well!
We wonder if these two got into any extracurricular activity up at the judges house!
X Factor‘s Nicole Scherzinger and the show’s host, Steve Jones, were originally set to emcee the reality competition together until the former Pussycat Doll replaced Cheryl Cole on the judges panel, but apparently, their relationship has developed far beyond just professional!
A source explains:

“From the beginning, X Factor executives encouraged Nicole and Steve to build their chemistry, and get to know each other better over drinks. But since then, things have moved on. They can’t go public until they get the OK from Simon.”

Aww! They’d make such a HAWT couple!
But we’d hate to see how uncomfy it got on set if they split! But no need to worry about that right now, we’re sure they’re still in the honeymoon period!
Best of luck, you guys!
