The two new judges play tic-tac-toe during breaks on the set of the reality show

Singer Demi Lovato and Britney Spears pass time during breaks on the set of the US version of “The X Factor” playing games.
The pair joined the panel of judges this year replacing Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul.
Lovato revealed they quickly bonded over “tic-tac-toe and doodle”. “We bonded at ‘The X Factor’s boot camp. During breaks we’d sit behind the panel and use the paper to play tic-tac-toe and doodle,” contactmusic.com quoted the 20-year-old as saying.
The X Factor US airs in the UAE on OSN First every Thursday and Friday at 9pm.
