Scherzinger to spend 750,000 pounds on jets

Nicole Scherzinger will reportedly spend most of her (A$1,112,507) 750,000 'X Factor' fee chartering private jets to boyfriend Lewis Hamilton's Grand Prix race meetings.

The ex-Pussycat Doll will fly as far as Abu Dhabi and Brazil at a cost of at least ($A74,167) 50,000 a time to keep their relationship on track.

Friends of the talent show judge say Nicole is keen to stay close to the Formula 1 star, 27, while filming every weekend from October to Christmas.

A friend told The Sun newspaper: 'Lewis will sort some flights out for her, but she's booking some herself and they're eye-wateringly expensive.'

Last month the couple's relationship hit a rough patch when Lewis was pictured partying with a group of ladies at a London hotel.

Nicole also wants to rent a ($A29,667) 20,000-a-month London home to 'escape the madness' while working on the show.

The friend added: 'If she has any cash left at the end of this I'd be surprised.'
