Nicole Scherzinger takes swipe at former lover Lewis Hamilton during X Factor filming
Talent show judge spills the beans on the F1 ace after prompt from Simon Cowell
IT’s usually the contestants who fill The X Factor with sob stories.
But it was NICOLE SCHERZINGER who decided to spill the beans about her personal life on
Sunday, as she hit out at her ex LEWIS HAMILTON during filming.
The former Pussycat Doll took a dig at the F1 champ’s performance as a boyfriend, while sorting out her acts during the filming of The X Factor’s Six Chair Challenge.
One contestant, from Northern Ireland, performed a moving rendition of Nicole’s song Run which warns another woman not to give up her love “too fast” to a selfish man who will leave her “with a broken heart”.
The X Factor hopeful told the audience: “This song is about running away from bad things in your life.”
On hearing the lyrics, SIMON COWELL suggested that he and Nicole should dedicate the song to her ex-boyfriend Lewis.
He said: “Why did this song make me think of Lewis Hamilton? It just came into my head listening to it. Run away, Nicole, run away fast.”
And Nicole, who dated Lewis on-off for eight years, showed her post-split relationship with the F1 ace isn’t as amicable as it might seem.
She replied to Simon: “Yes, let’s do that. Let’s dedicate those lyrics and that song to Lewis as well, shall we?”
The Sun revealed last week that Lewis’ relationship with former X Factor judge and singer RITA ORA was heating up.
Rita also helped Lewis to celebrate his fourth British Grand Prix this weekend with a night out in London.
The racing driver has also been linked to models BARBARA PALVIN, PETRA NEMCOVA and KENDALL JENNER since his split from Nicole last year.
It comes as Nicole’s latest romance with Bulgarian tennis ace GRIGOR DIMITROV seems to be on the rocks over her desire to settle down.
At least she has something to sing about on her next album.
