Nicole Scherzinger has returned home to America with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton to attend her grandmother's funeral.

According to The Sun, The X Factor judge found out her beloved gran had passed away before Saturday's live show, but opted to stay in the UK to support her boys - Rylan Clark, Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur.

The 34-year old reportedly left London on Monday with Lewis, with the newspaper stating that she hopes to be back in time to help her acts ahead of this weekend's live shows.

Scherzinger put on a brave face during the ITV1 talent show on Saturday (10th November), even dancing to Rylan's Spice Girls medley.

However, the ex-Pussycat Dolls star could not contain her emotions when axed boyband District 3 sang Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven - breaking down in tears and thanking the band for selecting the track.

A source told the tabloid: "She was devastated over her gran. Her first instinct was to rush home, but she made a commitment to those boys and her family assured her she could fly on Monday.
