Nicole Scherzinger kicked things off with The Pussycat Dolls, won our hearts as part of the X Factor panel, and caused a storm on the West End with her role in the recently revived Cats.
This season the songstress is back with a sunny new ad for Muller yoghurt, shot in LA. Where else? It might not seem like an obvious pairing, but Nicole was quick to point out how great the link-up was between her and the iconic brand. ‘Oh you know it was just the perfect fit. Firstly it’s a dessert and who doesn’t love chocolate balls? And they totally got my humour and my sense of fun, it’s just a great marriage.’
As for her favourite pot from the range? ‘My favourite one would have to be the strawberry greek yoghurt but the new pudding corners are amazing.’
As you might expect, Nicole is more than up on her healthy eating. It’s often said it’s near impossible to spend time in LA and not be. We had to get the low-down on her current favourites – ‘The health food I’m currently obsessing over has to be coconut water. Not added to anything, not in a juice, just cold and on its own, I love it.’
It’s a drink that has to travel the world with her, all those long haul flights are bound to take their toll, so staying hydrated is a must. And Nicole has a couple more tricks she’s willing to try ‘In terms of in flight and beauty essentials I think those eye patches you see everywhere are a must. I haven’t used them yet but I feel like I need to give them a try. I love my La Prairie moisturiser, I’ve been using that for years, but I use a lot of the Pro Active range now too, for beauty products in general’.
With her beauty regimen sorted, we turned our attention to Nicole’s fitness rituals. How does this lady keep her workouts up on the go? She’s got one of the best figure’s in the industry (sorry girls, a hell of a lot of that is down to genetics!), so we had to get the latest on her current workout obsessions. ‘My fitness regime now is a mix of hot yoga and jogging. I love hot yoga. And obviously I’m a dancer, dancing’s such an amazing way to keep fit. Music moves you, it inspires you, it works you without making you feel like you’ve worked out at all.’
And her workout look? ‘I always work out in capri leggings and a tight fitting top with spaghetti straps. That’s my standard workout outfit. Although I never really let myself wear that when I’m not working out, I always keep that fairly separate from my everyday style choices’.
We rarely see Ms Scherzinger without a smile. Well yes she has a lot to smile about, but she also puts a lot of that down to her focus on well being. ‘I try to actively promote my well being. I read my meditative prayer each day and I also try to do my daily devotions. It’s so uplifting. And if I can do all that and fit in a hot yoga session in the morning, I’m set up for my day.’
Sounds pretty perfect to us. Especially if you add in a sun-soaked Cali beach. Oh where’s a private jet when you need one?!
