Nicole Scherzinger has admitted that she considers herself to be only moderately attractive.

The 30-year-old Pussycat Dolls singer said she is "right in the middle" when it comes to appearance, telling Sugar: "I think I'd rate myself as five out of ten for my looks."

Scherzinger, who is currently dating racing driver Lewis Hamilton, added that she hasn't always been a hit with the boys.

"I used to be cripplingly shy. I came from a very strict upbringing," she said. "Guys just wouldn't go out with me."
