Nicole Scherzinger parties on yacht after bagging over £1.5million for ONE gig

X FACTOR judge Nicole Scherzinger frolics on a yacht - after collecting a cool seven-figure sum to perform at a private party.

The American singer, 38, is believed to have earned around £1.5m for the short gig at a Russian billionaire’s summer party in Mykonos, Greece.

It is thought to top her fee to appear on the X Factor alongside Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.

As part of the performance she got three days on the sun-soaked Greek island, and was treated to a day on the yacht and a dinner at the island’s swanky Buddha Bar.

She was also flown in from Luton Airport on a private jet, before then heading to Los Angeles afterwards.

A source said: “Nicole was more than happy to oblige when she was asked to perform.

“She had to rattle out a few songs and then chill out in paradise.

“That sort of money doesn’t come round very often and she joked to pals that it was more than she would get for her entire series of X Factor.

“She got to take a couple of mates on the trip and live the life of luxury for a few days with just the pressure of an hour or so’s work, a bit of schmoozing and some selfies with guests. It was a no brainer really.”

The former Pussycat Dolls singer — who dated Lewis Hamilton on and off for seven years — donned a red bikini as she mucked about with a female pal on the yacht.
