Nicole Scherzinger has poured petrol on the burning rumours that she is secretly dating The X Factor : Celebrity contestant Thom Evans as she hit the town to party into the wee hours with the hunky sportsman.
The 41-year-old chart topping star headed out after filming the latest episode of the long running ITV singing contest - looking radiant in her Julien Macdonald dress.
The Pussycat Dolls star showed off her taught abs as the dress exposed her midriff, while she paired the electric pink outfit with a pair of silver heels.
Despite the chilly temperatures, Nicole was happy to pose for photographers outside the X Factor studios in London on Saturday night, swishing her floaty dress as she played up to the cameras.
After filming the latest episode - in which Nicole brutally sent Try Star (the boyband consisting of 34-year-old Thom, and fellow Rugby hunks Ben Foden, 34, and Levi Davis, 21) home - the singer headed out for a night on the town.
Nicole headed to burlesque themed nightclub Cirque Le Soir - arriving at the venue in London at 11:40pm, while underging a costume change to wear jeans and a white top.
Not far behind Nicole, however, was Thom - who arrived just before midnight.
An eye witness commented that Thom looked “worse for wear” when he left the nightclub a little after 2:30am, with liquid covering the left side of his body.
While Nicole proved she has the stronger stamina - as she was reported to have left the establishment at 3:30am.
Over the past few weeks, reports have been raging that Nicole and Thom have embarked on a romance after The X Factor brought them together.
“It’s really early days but they have spent a lot of time together this week. On two separate evenings they hung out and have been getting on well,” a source close to the couple told The Mirror.
“Nicole thinks Thom is gorgeous and a real gentleman, he obviously can’t believe his luck,” they added.
The X Factor: Celebrity will have it's live final on Saturday 30 November after a shameful series of terrible ratings - with the latest figures suggesting only 1.28 million people tuned in to watch the semi-final on Saturday night.
