Nicole Scherzinger Shows Burn Injuries After Boiling Water Accident

Nicole Scherzinger has appeared publicly with visible injuries after suffering burns from boiling water. The singer was seen leaving her hotel in Manchester on Tuesday, days after the accident that occurred just an hour before a Pussycat Dolls performance in Düsseldorf on Saturday.

Scherzinger's leg sustained burns and blisters from the incident. For her first public appearance since the accident, she wore loose-fitting shorts to avoid irritating her injuries. She was accompanied by fellow Pussycat Dolls members Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt, as they prepared for their next concert at Birmingham's Utilita Arena. Scherzinger completed her low-key look with a black vest, trainers, a baseball cap, and sunglasses.

The star opted for a pair of loose-fitting shorts, so as not to rub against her burns, with Nicole teaming this with a simple black vest and black trainers

Keeping her look low-key with the addition of a black baseball cap and shades, Nicole offered a small smile and a wave to onlookers as she made her way outside

Roberts wore black cycle shorts, knee-high boots, a zip-up sweater, and sunglasses, while Wyatt opted for a sage green velour tracksuit with navy trainers and shades. All three appeared to be in good spirits as the UK leg of their PCD Forever tour commenced.

Ashley meanwhile flashed her legs in a pair of black cycle shorts, adding black knee-high boots, a black zip-up sweater and sunglasses to her look

Kimberly opted for a casual sage green velour tracksuit for the journey, finishing off her ensemble with navy trainers and shades

On Sunday, Scherzinger shared a photo of her burns and blisters, stating, "Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set - but the show must go on." She expressed gratitude to Düsseldorf for their support and anticipation for the next show in Amsterdam.

This incident follows the Pussycat Dolls' decision to cancel the North American leg of their comeback tour due to low ticket sales. Despite launching their comeback with a new single, the group was forced to axe 33 dates in the U.S. and Canada. The UK and European dates, however, are proceeding as planned, with several shows already sold out.

The Pussycat Dolls' reunion has also been marked by controversy, with some founding members expressing surprise and disappointment at their exclusion from the tour.
