Nicole Scherzinger has split up with her Formula 1 star boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, her publicist confirmed.

The pair, who got together around five years ago, have split several times before.

A spokeswoman for former Pussycat Doll Nicole, who is filming the latest series of The X Factor, confirmed the split, but would not comment further.

The news caps a bad couple of days for Mercedes driver Lewis, after a blown tyre ruined his chances of winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The driver, who was in the lead when the blowout happened, dropped back to last place, but managed to fight back to end the race in fourth.
