There’s already a FEUD between these two X Factor judges

And we haven't even reached the live shows yet…

The X Factor starts this Saturday which means it’s basically mid-winter and we need to cancel all upcoming plans, set up our various food-delivery accounts and stock up on a range of oversize jumpers and slankets (yep, they're still a thing).

It also means we need to prepare ourselves for some not-put-on-at-all-to-encourage-viewing-figures rivalry between the judges and a whole load of passive aggressive comments about each other's acts.

But if we're honest we really didn’t expect Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger to be at war already. They've only filmed the audition process so far…

Alas, Louis and Nicole are apparently in a big ol' feud (ish) after Lou basically accused Nic of lying about her age – 39 years old BTW, and how bloody FAB does she look?

Speaking at the press launch for the upcoming series, her pretty much suggested she's actually much older than 39.

And now Nic's hit back.

According to The Sun she said: "I wish I was lying about my age, I have never lied about my age.

"I should have started lying a long time ago."

She then threw some mega shade at the long-serving X Factor judge, adding: "I’m just really grateful that Louis is still with us, really grateful."

Slaaaaaaay, girl.

WATCH: Louis Walsh is the KING of one liners
