Scherzinger breaks silence following ‘devastating’ break-up from Hamilton

Nicole Scherzinger has told of her heartbreak following her split with Lewis Hamilton. The singer, 36, is reported to have ended the relationship - which began in 2007 - because Formula 1 ace Lewis, 30, would not commit to marriage. Now Nicole has told The Sun: “I’m devastated that it didn’t work out.” But she said calling time on the romance was a mutual decision, saying: “It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together.”

How in the world am I supposed to tell you that? I don’t know - I take everything one moment at a time and I count my blessings.

The former X Factor judge, who spoke as she arrived at the London Palladium to perform in West End musical Cats, said: “I love Lewis and I know he loves me. We wish nothing but happiness and the very best for one another.” And she added: “I’m trying to stay strong in my faith right now.” Asked whether the couple would marry, Lewis previously told Jonathan Ross: “I don’t know about that. We’re quite happy with the way we are.”
