Simon Cowell encouraged X Factor judges Nicole Scherzinger and Alesha Dixon to dance like Bond girls as one singing hopeful performed Diamonds Are Forever.
The former Pussycat Doll was joined by temporary judge Alesha Dixon, who was filling in for Sharon Osbourne, as they danced next to contestant Gaga Lord.
