But Nicole praised Olly for his guts, admitting she rarely gets hit on by men while she's on UK shores as they all know she's Hamilton's girl.
The former Pussycat Doll added: 'I rarely get chatted up by British boys as most of them know that Im taken by the main British boy. Lewis came to Saturdays show to support me.'
