Nicole Scherzinger puts on brave face at Hollywood awards after intimate video with ex Lewis Hamilton leaks online

NICOLE Scherzinger put on a defiant display after an intimate video with her ex Lewis Hamilton leaked online yesterday.

Former X Factor judge Nicole, 40, and Lewis, 32, have become the latest celebrities to fall victim to hackers who crack passwords for iCloud, social media or messaging accounts.

The couple are seen kissing and cuddling on a bed in mobile phone footage that has been viewed just under 500,000 times so far.

But Nicole didn't hide away from the cameras and dolled up for the Hollywood Beauty Awards on Sunday following the leak.

The singer stunned in a floor length gown and wore her hair in a 1950s quiff for the bash.

However, a steely look flashed across her face as photographers approached her, and she was said to be devastated that the intimate footage had spread across the internet.

A source said: “Nicole will be heartbroken that such footage has found its way online.

“It was never intended for the public domain.”

Nicole and F1 champ Lewis, 32, dated on and off for eight years before splitting in 2015.

Speaking about the split in 2016, Lewis revealed he loved his sets of wheels more than her and said: “My cars are my babies.

“I used to say, when I had a girlfriend, ‘I’m taking one of the girls out, so you can come if you want, but you come second when it comes to the cars.”

Earlier this month, The Sun revealed that Jamie Redknapp has been pursuing newly single Nicole Scherzinger — without success.

Close pals say the singer, 40, has rejected his advances after recently splitting from tennis ace Grigor Dimitrov, 27.

Grigor started dating the former Pussycat Doll and X Factor judge Nicole in late 2015, with their romance being made public in January 2016.

However rumours surfaced in May 2017 that all was not well between the pair, with a source telling The Sun exclusively that Nicole has not seen Grigor for nearly two months.

Nicole met Jamie on TV quiz show A League of Their Own in 2016.

There were reports last year that Lewis was dating pop superstar Nicki Minaj.
