Nicole Scherzinger: I don't rate my looks

Pussycat Doll doesn't think she's anything special

Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton have been dating since early 2008

Singer Nicole Scherzinger says she is pretty average.

‘I think I’d rate myself as 5 out of 10 for my looks,’ she insists. ‘Right in the middle.’

Nicole is currently dating Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, 23.

But the Pussycat Doll, 30, wasn’t always popular with the opposite sex.

‘I used to be cripplingly shy,' she says. 'My grandfather was a preacher. I came from a very religious, strict upbringing in Hawaii and I wasn't very popular.

'Guys just wouldn’t go out with me.’

Singing helped Nicole develop a bit of self esteem.

'It wasn't until I got to high school that I began to blossom,' she tells Sugar. 'Even though I was shy, uncomfortable and lanky, my music brought me out of myself.'
