Will Nicole Scherzinger Miss The X Factor For Her Grandmother's Funeral?
splashShe jetted off on holiday with her Formula 1 race driving boyfriend on what we thought was a romantic getaway, but it turns out Nicole Scherzinger left her X Factor boys for her grandmother's funeral.
The brave X Factor judge was supported by her racing beau Lewis Hamilton when she found out her beloved relative had died before last Saturday's ITV1 show, but stayed to support her acts.
She even weeped a little when District 3 belted out Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven' and now we know why - but will the singer be back in the UK for the next live show?
The former Pussycat Doll propped a pair of oversized sunglasses when she flew from London on Monday with Hamilton, 27, by her side for as long as she needs, but her contestants James Arthur, Jahmene Douglas and Rylan Clark could be without a mentor this Saturday night.

She tried to hide her grief on last Saturday's live show and even got up and danced through Rylan Clark's vivacious performance, but couldn't hold back the tears when District 3 sang the iconic Clapton song.
A source said: She was devastated over her gran. Her first instinct was to rush home, but she made a commitment to tho! se boys and her family assured her she could fly on Monday.
Lewis is set to stay in America to drive in this weekend's US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, but he is still a firm shoulder to cry on as Nicole was a huge support when he lost his Aunt Diane to cancer in September.
Last week she said in an interview: Lewis and I are a team. Were really there for each other.
