Nicole Scherzinger has revealed that she almost collapsed when boyfriend Lewis Hamilton won the Formula 1 World Championship on Sunday.

The Pussycat Doll said she was overcome with emotion while standing trackside in Sao Paulo to witness Hamilton snatch the title on the last lap.

She explained: "Lewis is a fantastic driver. Where the winner mentality comes from, God only knows, because he gave him the gifts.

"I nearly collapsed with excitement when he came through on the last lap. I couldn't calm down, nor could Nicholas (Hamilton's brother) - we just both kept screaming at each other."
