As we reported recently, X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger was “furious” after a tabloid newspaper published an article which revealed that her boyfriend, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, had partied in his luxury hotel suite with ten women and a group of his friends.

However, after the story emerged, Nicole reportedly told Lewis she forgave him after he promised that nothing untoward happened with the girls.

But today, the Sun reports that at the time the incident was reported in the press, Nicole – who was touring the country for X Factor auditions – broke down in tears as a wannabe sang Cher’s hit track, Do You Believe (In Life After Love) at her audition in Liverpool

An onlooker told the paper, “Nicole sobbed so hard the other judges gathered around her and a producer came over to see if she could carry on…

“It was about 20 minutes before she said she was fine and got her make-up artist over to redo her face.

“Obviously, the song lyrics – ‘Do you believe in life after love’ – really moved her, particularly after what happened.”

The paper adds, “We revealed Nicole’s fury after Formula 1 driver Lewis partied until 5.30am in his £3,800-a-night London hotel room with girls he met out clubbing.”

Aww bless her. Corrie star Michelle Keegan has of course recently had to face something similar, but as you can read here, she couldn’t forgive boyfriend Max George for his indiscretions, and the couple have now split up.
