Nicole Scherzinger put in a surprise appearance on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ on Saturday night, when she sat in the audience to cheer on her former Pussycat Dolls bandmate Ashley Roberts.
But when Tess Daly squeezed in next to Nicole, the former ‘X Factor’ judge appeared to look less than impressed and muttered something to the host at the start of the link.
It didn’t go unnoticed by some eagle-eyed viewers, who took to Twitter to speculate about what exactly was said in the brief exchange…
Hmmm, we’re not sure. Anyone? She could have been telling Tess how much she loved her dress. Or maybe she asked her if she could get up and sing because not only was Nicole in the audience, one of her songs was used for Lauren Steadman and AJ Prichard’s routine.
The pair danced a Paso Doble to Nicole’s 2011 hit ‘Poison’, although many viewers asked why Nicole didn’t perform it herself, accusing the ‘Strictly’ band of “murdering” the track.
Despite all of that, Nicole appeared to be something of a lucky charm for Ashley, whose jaw-dropping Charleston scored 39 points.
Steps star Faye Tozer had plenty to celebrate too after also scoring 39 points with her theatre/jazz routine.
Both scores were the highest of the series so far and unsurprisingly saw Ashley and Faye topping the leaderboard.
The ‘Strictly’ results show is on BBC One on Sunday evening at 7.45pm.
