Nicole Scherzinger has said that she is still fond of ex-boyfriend Lewis Hamilton.

The X Factor USA judge split from Formula 1 driver Hamilton back in October following four years together.



"I still love him. It's all very recent and it's hard for me to talk about it," she told The Mirror. "But we are good friends. We're great friends.

"Right now, he's got to focus on his career and I've got to focus on mine. Next year, I'll work on me. It's a new chapter. I've got a new journey I'm going on. It's amazing. I feel it's just the beginning."

Scherzinger is currently preparing for her first ever solo UK tour, playing London, Manchester and Birmingham in February.

"I am so excited for the tour," she added. "It will be based on Killer Love and there will be an acoustic element too.

"The album is special to me because it depicts raw emotions, and a side of me nobody knew. All everyone knew was the Pussycat Dolls."

It was recently reported that Hamilton had started a "full-on mission" to win Scherzinger back.
