Pussycat Nicole and Lewis Split!

After four years together it’s been announced that US X Factor judge, Nicole Sherzinger, has split from British boyfriend Lewis Hamilton.

It was reported that the 26-year-old racing car driver and the former Pussycat Doll were seeing less and less of each other due to their hectic work schedules. Nicole, 33, is currently based in Los Angeles, where she shoots The X Factor alongside Simon Cowell.

Meanwhile Lewis travels the world for his Formula One races and the pair have been slowly growing apart. It was rumoured last year that the Brit had proposed to the pop princess, but sadly the pair seemed to have called time on their relationship.

Now sources close to the couple say that despite the break-up they will remain good friends, but will that work?
