Nicole Scherzinger gives glimpse at her toned midriff in snaps

Nicole Scherzinger showed off her sensational figure while taking to Instagram on Friday.

The singer, 44, could be seen wearing a black satin crop top and matching pants, showing off her toned midriff.

He posed with his hand on her tiny waist as her loose brown locks fell over her shoulders and down her back.

In some of the snaps, the Pussycat Dolls star might be standing to the side, showing off her curves and the semi-sheer detail on her top.

The former X Factor judge wore loads of makeup to enhance her pretty features for the shoot.

It comes after Nicole’s former Pussycat Dolls co-star Melody Thornton opened up about her “very painful” time in the girl group.

The 38-year-old star criticized her former bandmates – Nicole, Ashley Roberts, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Kimberly Wyatt – for never giving her a “chance” to showcase her singing talents and forcing her to “just” be a ‘ backup dancer’.

speaking to SunMelody, who left Buttons in 2010, said: “It’s been a long battle to prove that I’m a singer first and foremost.

‘I have had to work hard and campaign to undo many false beliefs.

‘I was just a backup dancer. It was very painful for me. It was a great opportunity to show what I could do and I never really had that opportunity.

‘In order to keep singing, people need to know that you can sing in the first place and that wasn’t really the case for me in the group, so it was actually very painful.

‘It can be hard to be a singer if nobody knows you can sing. You need a record deal to continue, but if they don’t take you into account, what can you do?

Melody, who previously said she felt inadequate in the group, will now play the role of Rachel in a UK national tour of The Bodyguard, and says playing the same role as her late idol Whitney Houston is touching as she was looking for hitmaker I Have Nothing for inspiration to give her the strength to continue in the Pussycat Dolls.

She said she used to imagine that Whitney and Michael Jackson were in the audience at every Pussycat Dolls concert, insisting that it gave her a reason to go on stage, as she didn’t see herself as just a dancer.

The stage star insisted that she feels she has to show the world that she is not just a backup dancer by taking on singing roles.

He went on to explain that none of his former bandmates have come to see his show, but he doesn’t expect them to.

Melody added that she does not regret leaving the band, claiming that now she has to work as a singer to change people’s perception that she is a dancer.

Communication between the rest of the gang seems to have broken down.

The girls were supposed to reunite for a 2020 tour, but the shows were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and then in January 2022, Nicole announced that plans had been canceled entirely.

But Kimberly, 41, only learned that the reunion tour had been canceled through a fan’s Twitter post.

She previously said: ‘The way he communicated was not nice or kind to most of us.

‘I found out through a fan’s tweet. I was devastated and cried my eyes out.

“We were planning a world tour and even booked for Glastonbury.”
