Nicole Scherzinger set to play fictional feline in 'Cats' musical

Nicole Scherzinger has landed a role in a West End revival of musical 'Cats'.

The former 'X Factor' judge, who quit the talent show last year after two series, will play the part of Grizabella, when the hit stage show begins at the London Palladium in December, the Daily Star reported.

The latest revival, which is been produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, will be directed by Sir Trevor Nunn.

Scherzinger said that she "couldn't be more excited" to bring it back and to have the opportunity to work with Andrew, Trevor and Gillian is a dream come true.
