ITV star Nicole Scherzinger has been inundated with support after sharing photos of the painful burns she sustained last month. Posting on Instagram, the singer, who accidentally spilt boiling water on her leg, was due to perform in Düsseldorf, Germany, on September 26, when the incident occurred. Nonetheless, she took to the stage later that evening, performing in the PCD Forever Tour alongside her Pussycat Dolls bandmates, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts.
Healing Update and Fan Support
Less than a month later, Nicole, 48, appears to be on the mend as her burns continue to heal. Updating fans with a carousel of snaps of her leg, the former X Factor judge quipped, "What they see vs. what they don't see…" Shortly after posting, Nicole's famous friends and fans were quick to rally around her. "You are a warrior," replied music icon Gloria Gaynor. "Babe omgggggg ouch," remarked choreographer Bobby Newberry.
Meanwhile, ex-volleyball legend turned podcasting sensation, Gabby Reece, commented, "Heal quickly!!" and celebrity skin and beauty expert, Nilam Holmes, who frequently works with Nicole, raved, "Because you are a pro and the show must go on. Also, the body!"
Incident Details and Recovery
Last month, Nicole confirmed that she'd scalded her leg ahead of her scheduled performance in Düsseldorf. "Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set — but the show must go on," she told fans. "Thanks, Düsseldorf, for keeping me going. See you soon, Amsterdam." Just over a week later, Nicole shared footage from her dressing room, which revealed that her leg had been bandaged and wrapped up in cling film. "Show up anyway," she wrote alongside it.
Commended on her resilience, supermodel Naomi Campbell responded, "You are a force @nicolescherzinger, consummate professional. Sending love and healing." "That's my girl!!!!!! Warrior WOMAN!!!! ICONIC BEHAVIOR!!!" added her Pussy Cat Dolls bandmate, Kimberly Wyatt. "My 4EVA GURL @nicolescherzinger. Luv u sis, this cracked me up! Keep healing & spreading that JOY," noted singer-songwriter Shelby Johnson.
Tour Motivation
Ahead of the PCD tour, Nicole revealed why now was the right time to reunite with her bandmates. "It was a dream come true to do the stage," the singer said of her Tony Award-winning stint in Sunset Boulevard. "And, listen, for the last three years I've been hiding out in these little intimate theatres, y'all. And it was fulfilling in so many ways. But as an artist, you can't be bound to one thing; you want to do it all, and it's just so great to be able to come back, and I did miss the girls. I'm very proud of our group, our legacy, our music. So I was like, well, I just did the West End and Broadway, now it's time for a world tour. Dolls unite!"
