Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne slammed by fans as they ‘wear their poppy on the wrong side’

NICOLE Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne were slammed by  X Factor fans this evening as they appeared to wear their poppies on the wrong side.

Traditionally the poppy is worn on the left lapel, to keep it close to your heart, but tonight, on Armistice Day,  judges Nicole and Sharon wore theirs on the right.

Those watching at home weren’t impressed by the poppy blunder and took to Twitter to comment on it.

One person wrote: “#XFactor sharon and Nicole the poppy should be worn on the left.”

While another commented: “Someone needs to tell Nicole Scherzinger on #xfactor that the poppy should be worn on the left.”

And someone else added: “@NicoleScherzy Wear the poppy the correct way or not at all #XFactor.”

People often chose to wear the poppy on the left, as it also marks the symbol’s military origins, as this is the side medals are worn by the Armed forces.

However, women often wear it on the right and the Royal British Legion has said there is no right or wrong side "other than to wear it with pride".

It comes just a week after Nicole was forced to quickly put one on last week after fans noticed she wasn’t wearing one.

Last week Nicole’s poppy was missing when she first appeared on screen but appeared after an ad break.
