Nicole Scherzinger squeezes in some romance with Lewis Hamilton before she resumes X Factor role

 With their busy, jet-setting schedules, Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton don't get the chance for much quality time together.

So in between Grands Prix and the Pussycat Doll singer's X Factor duties, the couple squeezed in a romantic spa weekend.

Following Scherzinger's stint as a guest judge at the Manchester auditions a week ago, the 32-year-old reunited with her toyboy in Monaco.

The millionaire couple spent three days at the $1,500-a-night Thermes Marins de Montecarlo whey they enjoyed massages and spa treatments.

Following their relaxing time together, the pair were seen flying out of Nice airport.

The Pussycat Dolls singer will join Simon Cowell, 50, and Louis Walsh, 57, at the boot camp auditions on Thursday after previously appearing alongside them at the Manchester auditions last week.

While X Factor bosses have managed to secure Scherzinger's presence, they have decided to cancel the live aspect of the boot camp, which was originally scheduled to take place at Wembley Arena.

An X Factor spokesman said on the show's Twitter site: 'Nicole Scherzinger will be standing in as a judge at The X Factor Bootcamp next week, alongside Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.

'Due to the unusual circumstances, we are not inviting an audience to watch the contestants perform at The X Factor boot camp next week.'

Originally the guest judges had been brought in to replace Minogue while she was on maternity leave, but Cole's recent illness has complicated matters.

It was originally thought just Mrs Cole, Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell would oversee the boot camp part of the show, which sees them whittle down the auditionees to 24 acts in front of a 3,000-strong audience.

So while Scherzinger was originally drafted in as a replacement for Minogue, 38, in Manchester, this time she will be stepping in for 27-year-old Cole.

Out of all the celebrity judges used this series, Scherzinger is the only one who has been asked to return.
