The outing comes after Nicole sent temperatures soaring in a scantily floral bikini as she posed for sizzling Instagram snaps during a luxury holiday.

The former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman looked amazing as she showed off her stunning figure in the two-piece suit, which consisted of a triangle top and matching bottoms.

She shielded herself from the sun with sunglasses, raised her arms above her head and posed radiantly in front of the bow of a luxury yacht.

Nicole let her long, dark locks down and relaxed on the deck as she soaked up the sun during her outing at sea.

The Masked Singer judge later wore a stylish pair of white crocheted trousers and sat in a lounge chair at the back of the boat sipping a glass of bubbly.

Nicole showed off her beautiful smile as she held her glass of champagne high in the air as she traveled across land on a RIB boat.

In another photo on the RIB, Nicole posed with her fiancé Thom Evans, as they both donned life jackets.

Following her success as Norma Desmond in the West End revival of Sunset Boulevard, Nicole made her Broadway debut in the same role.

She told the Ny Breaking: ‘It’s crazy, I’ve done the West End twice and I’ve never been to Broadway. This is my very first time, making my debut as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, the beautiful Andrew Lloyd Webber musical with my brilliant director Jamie Lloyd.’

The former X Factor judge said she is “so excited” and that Broadway will be “a dream come true for me”.

She said: ‘As a little girl I always dreamed of going to the theatre and now I’m doing it as Norma and all the stars are aligned.

“I couldn’t have imagined a better time, a better role, a better everything. So I feel really blessed and excited.”
