Nicole Scherzinger reunites with 'dear friend' and fellow X Factor judge Gary Barlow

Nicole Scherzinger has reunited with her "dear friend" Gary Barlow, 10 years after the pair first met when they appeared as judges on X Factor.

The Pussycat Dolls singer, 44, posed for pictures with the 51-year-old Take That star as she stopped by to watch his solo show A Different Stage. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Nicole shared a sweet message for Gary and left fans gushing over the snaps.

The Don't Cha singer wore a white crop top and blue jeans which showcased her toned body. She matched this with a sheer floral shawl and added height to her frame with a pair of white heels.

Nicole opted for minimal makeup and wore silver drop earrings, with her long brown hair falling loose down her shoulders.

Fans were loving the snap, with one person describing the pair as "icons".

Another commented: "Friends are like Diamonds they' are so valuable."

"We need a duet from you and @officialgarybarlow on your next project that would be Epic and so beautiful and amazing," suggested a fifth fan.

The reunion comes after Nicole recently got engaged to rugby player partner Thom Evans. The couple have been an item since the beginning of 2020.

They seem to be preparing to spend their futures together after Thom reportedly got down on one knee back in July.

The 37-year-old sportsman is said to have popped the question while on holiday with Your Love singer Nicole in Europe.

A friend close to the couple told the Daily Mail: "They are getting married."

The publication also reported: "The couple have just returned from a holiday in Mykonos, Greece, where Evans is thought to have proposed."

Nicole and Thom were originally brought together thanks to The X Factor: Celebrities which aired on ITV back in 2019.

The show saw Nicole take up a judge’s seat alongside Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh, while Thom was a contestant in boyband Try Star, alongside fellow rugby players Levi Davis and Ben Foden.
