She was recently dumped from X Factor, but Nicole Scherzinger shows she doesn't need Simon Cowell.

The former Pussycat Doll gave an energetic performance last night, with plenty of cleavage on display in a low-cut top.

The 33-year-old too to the stage at Belfast's Waterfront Hall in the skimpy, midriff-baring number which she paired with high-waisted pants and tights.

The popstar added a black leather jacket with silver embellishments on the shoulders and black boots with tassels.

She eventually ditched the jacket, showing even more skin, and also donned a frill waistcoat.

Nicole jumped and writhed around on stage, at one point getting on her knees and leaning back as she belted out the notes.

Nic! ole is p laying a series of dates around the UK to promote the re-release of her debut album Killer Love.

The pair are thought to be back together, after being pictured holding hands following a late night dinner date in Los Angeles last week.

Just four months after splitting last October, the pair have picked up where they left off - but cynics may argue it's rather convenient timing after the X Factor USA panellist was given her marching orders.

She was initially thought to have ended the relationship after embarking on her first season of Simon Cowell's reality show - replacing Cheryl Cole - and intent on becoming a global household name.

But she was dropped from the show - alongside fellow panelist Paula Abdul and presenter Steve Jones.

Following their break up at the end of 2011, Nicole confessed she till had feelings for the Formula One ace, telling the Mirror: 'I still love him.

'It's all very recent and it's hard for me to talk about it.'

But a source insists they are both guarded entering round two of the romance, telling The Sun: 'It's early days.

'They've been talking things through. They don't want things to move too fast.'

Hawaiian-born singer Nicole teased fans on Twitter, saying she had 'big news' to share.

However, Scherzinger was simply referring to a new beauty campaign she has signed up for.

She wrote: 'BIG NEWS: Thrilled to announce Im @herbalessences new spokeswoman!

'Cant wait for you to see the new ad we shot!'
