Nicole Scherzinger is reportedly dating X Factor: Celebrity contestant Thom Evans, after the pair hit it off after meeting on the ITV show.
It's been reported that the lead-singer from US band The Pussycat Dolls, has had a date night with the former England rugby player in London earlier this week.
The pair had allegedly been texting before their date, with an ITV source telling The Sun, “Thom is completely Nicole’s type. And for his part, Thom was smitten early on — he’s always said Nicole is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
"He fancied her long before meeting her on the show. He was initially a bit nervous about starting something up, and ruining his chances on the series, but they had great chemistry from the off."
