Nicole Scherzinger has dashed Lewis Hamilton's hopes of winning her back, insisting their romance "is over".
The 'X Factor' judge split with the Formula One ace earlier this year after five years together, and it had since been rumoured the pair were trying to work things out.

However, Nicole told The Sun: "The truth is we're no longer together. It is over.
"I know he's been very public about trying to get me back, but we're still not together."
Lewis had dedicated a recent Formula One win to Nicole and also posted an emotional message on Twitter about 'not letting a special person go'.
Talking of Lewis' dedication, the former Pussycat Doll added: "It was sweet of him. I don't like to take credit for things. I like to stay in the background but it's nice to be acknowledged and to know that someone realises the support that they had."
However, she did add: "I don't know what the future holds to be honest, but as it stands we're not together."

Nicole recently admitted she's struggled to cope with the split, amid rumours she was finding it hard to focus while filming the new series of 'The X Factor'.
She told Glamour magazine: "It's these times that build a character. I've tried hard to keep it together, for my work.
"I'm just like every other woman, I've had a blanket of tissues over me many a night. Ordered a random, ginormous pizza for myself.
She added: "I definitely have my dark moments but I wanna be a light. That's what I strive to be. And really, it's a choice. And sometimes, when you're sad, you bring the pizza and you make that choice."
