She arrived in a dress so low cut and clingy, that talk show host Conan O'Brien had to ask if she was 'able to sit' in it, remarking that it looked like it was 'painted on.'

And Nicole Scherzinger's leopardskin and black number clearly continued to have an effect on the 48-year-old TV star during the TV interview which aired last night.

At one point, during the chat, the 33-year-old X Factor Judge had to call Conan out for staring at her chest.

Focus! Nicole Scherzinger tells Conan O'Brien to look into her eyes rather than at her chest on last night's edition of his talk show Conan

'Conan - focus!' Nicole said in the midst of answering one of his questions, gesticulating from her chest to her eyes.

The red haired funnyman reacted with typical humour, telling the former Pussycat Doll: 'Let's be real here for a second. You didn't think I was going to look down there!

'My God, I just threw my neck out.'

The conversation continued on similar lines when Nicole began to gesture and discuss Simon Cowell's 'moobs.'

The eyes have it: Conan made sure he was in a higher 'zone' when Nicole called him out

Clingy: Nicole earlier said she felt like a 'sausage' in the black and white leopardskin dress

'Now I have to look down,' joked Conan. 'Because you're not only naked down there but you're rubbing them.'

The singer, who replaced Cheryl Cole on the judging panel after being originally announced as host of the show, had said earlier she felt like a 'sausage' in her tight dress.

Nicole then went on to do a rather accurate impression of Britney Spears singing 'Ooops I Did It Again.

New show plug: Nicole discussed the U.S. version of the X Factor which will be airing in the U.S tonight

Meanwhile, she says in a separate interview today, that she enjoys working with Cowell on the U.S. X Factor, which airs tonight.

'He’s actually a lot nicer than I thought. He’s very giving and empowering,' Nicole tells The Hollywood Reporter.

'When he watches a performance, I don’t know what conjures up in that mind of his, but he just spits it out and it’s random.

'I guess that’s why I like him - because I’m pretty random and out there as well. But he’s almost too decisive sometimes.'

Big fan: Nicole told the talk show host that she had always been a 'Conan groupie'

The singer also says she feels like a 'kindred spirit' to fellow judge, Paula Abdul.

'She was my idol growing up and a lot of what she says is the sheer truth,' she says. 'Our minds, hearts and spirits gravitate towards the same feedback, but we have different ways of expressing it.

'Sometimes, I’m goofy and sometimes I’m more emotional. I just try to be myself and speak from my personal experience.'
