Nicole Scherzinger performs with large burn after being scalded by boiling water

The 48-year-old suffered the burn, which covered one of her legs from her knee to her ankle, ahead of a gig with her pop band at the PSD Bank Dome in Dusseldorf, Germany, as part of their PCD Forever Tour.

In a post on her Instagram story, Scherzinger said: “Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set, but the show must go on.

“Thanks Dusseldorf for keeping me going.”

The US singer went on to perform at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome in the Netherlands on Sunday with Pussycat Dolls bandmates Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt.

The trio will perform in the UK on Tuesday at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, before a gig at Dublin’s 3Arena on October 5, and a date at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on October 7, before the tour closes in London at The O2 on October 13.

It comes after the group cancelled all but one date of the US leg of their tour, reportedly due to poor ticket sales, performing at the WeHo Pride event in Los Angeles in June.

The group said the decision to cancel the dates was “difficult and heartbreaking”, but that the gigs that were going ahead would be a “true celebration of the music and the memories”.

The Pussycat Dolls tour is the first time the group has performed for a number of years since cancelling their last planned tour in 2022.

The group, who were originally a six-piece, have achieved eight UK top 10 singles including two number ones in Don’t Cha and Stickwitu, they have also achieved three UK top 10 albums.
