Hamilton: 'Nicole has the biggest heart'

Lewis Hamilton has paid tribute to his girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, describing the Pussycat Dolls star as "incredibly beautiful".

The Formula One racing driver, who last month rubbished rumours of a split from Scherzinger, praised his partner during a take-over of radio station Kiss 100.

Speaking about his early interest in the popstar, Hamilton commented: "When I first saw [Pussycat Dolls] in 2004, I was blown away by the talent and beauty of Nicole Scherzinger. I had a serious crush on her, to say the least.

"'Don't Cha' is pretty wicked, because now she's my lady and now I can say 'don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like mine!'"

He continued: "I mentioned her huge talent and how incredibly beautiful she is, but she also has the biggest heart, gives me nothing but love, and looks after me."

Hamilton's take-over of Kiss 100 airs tomorrow between 1pm and 2pm.
