Nicole Scherzinger slams Calvin Harris romance rumours: ‘I was called the biggest cheater’

Nicole Scherzinger has hit out at rumours that she enjoyed a romance with Calvin Harris while filming The X Factor.

The former Pussycat Doll, who is looking after the boys’ category this year, has slammed speculation that she cheated on boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov with the Scottish DJ.

After being spotted linking arms with Harris while leaving a London nightclub back in July, Scherzinger has decided to address the claims.

“It was all: "She’s the biggest cheater", I’m like, excuse me? I was walking on cobblestones, almost fell, grabbed him, two frames and that was it. It’s ridiculous," she told Glamour Magazine.

“I am happy. I’m in a really good, solid, more balanced place in my life. I’ve grown a lot as a woman.”

The 38-year-old added: “My grandma always used to say, to find the person you wanna marry, you have to find the person you wanna work on your relationship with for the rest of your life. That’s the key word: work.”

Harris, who split from Taylor Swift earlier this year, joins Scherzinger as a guest mentor at this year’s judges’ houses.

Talking about her choice, Scherzinger recently said: “He really knows his stuff. I asked Calvin to come on the show and he's at the top of his game. I couldn't have asked for a better guest judge,” she said.

"He's honest, he tells everything straightforward, he sees the pros & cons, but it's so relevant that he's here because he knows the business better than anyone right now,” she added.

When asked about what she was looking for in her final contestants, she said: “I don't know.

"I definitely respect and admire Calvin's opinions, so I'll deliberate with him.”
