X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger has revealed that she was held up at gunpoint during a trip to Mexico earlier this year.
The former Pussycat Doll was travelling to the set of her 'Try With Me' music video with choreographer Brian Friedman when a gang of armed individuals set upon their bulletproof vehicle.
"We were held at gunpoint," she told Star magazine. "People next to our cars... there were M16s and Berettas!"
Friedman added: "Nicole cursed me with this trip. It was the craziest adventure ever!"
Neither Scherzinger nor Friedman was harmed in the incident, which took place at the Xilitla rainforest and is believed to have been perpetrated by local gang members.
The singer admitted she "went into hiding" after her controversial vote on last week's edition of The X Factor USA, which resulted in the elimination of popular contestant Rachel Crow.
