Scherzinger: 'Derek Hough isn't gay'

Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly said that Cheryl Cole's rumoured boyfriend Derek Hough is not gay and that "he likes the ladies".

The Pussycat Doll dismissed recent rumours sparked by Perez Hilton that Hough is homosexual.

Hilton had said: "I don't think they're dating. He's like her main gay. He's got the gay face."

However, Scherzinger responded: "No, no - he likes the ladies. He went out with Shannon Elizabeth."

Hough dated actress and dancer Elizabeth for a year in 2008.
