Scherzinger not ready to discuss personal life

Singer Nicole Scherzinger was reportedly not impressed when the host of "The X Factor" auditions mentioned about her new single status.

The singer was dressed to the occasion in a pink short dressed and was geared up to select contestants here when presenter Ian Royce said to the audience: "Nicole's single."

Scherzinger, who parted ways with F1 champion Lewis Hamilton this month, did not look pleased when Royce tried to flirt with her, reports thesun.co.uk.

He said: "I haven't got a race car but I'm single too."

But the comment was not taken kindly.

"Nicole didn't look happy. It seemed too soon for jokes," a source said.

Scherzinger's co-judges Gary Barlow, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh were also present at the auditions.
