Nicole Scherzinger shocks concert goers as boyfriend Thom Evans strips to his speedos at Sydney WorldPride gig

Nicole Scherzinger left concert-goers stunned on Saturday night when her boyfriend Thom Evans stripped to a pair of speedos during her performance at Sydney’s WorldPride festival.

The Poison hitmaker, 44, announced to the crowd that she had a “very special guest” for them before bringing out the former Scottish rugby star to rapturous applause.

The 37-year-old then appeared on stage clad in a colourful Hawaiian co-ord, and sat down on a chair while Scherzinger energetically performed the Pussycat Dolls’ hit Don’t Cha.

In the midst of the number, Scherzinger’s back-up dancers pulled off evans’ short-sleeved shirt before the American star sat on his lap and leaned back to deliver a high note in dramatic fashion.

As the performance came to a crescendo, Evans shocked many when he stood up and ripped off his shorts to reveal a pair of metallic speedos, and began dancing across the stage to cheers from the crowd.

The moment has since gone viral and many of Scherzinger’s fans have shared their love for the couple.

One penned under a video shared an a fan Instagram page: “omg i love them” while another posted, “this made my day”.

Scherzinger and Evans started dating in 2019 after meeting during filming for The X Factor: Celebrity, on which the singer served as a judge and the sports star appeared as part of boy band Try Star.

The couple frequently share pictures of themselves as they holiday in exotic locations around the globe.

Their fun-filled appearance comes after they denied speculation that they had split up last month.

The pair were reported to have gone their seperate ways after Evans was “seen having a tearful conversation with pals at a restaurant in London”, according to The Sun.

However, the couple put the rumours to bed when they shared several Instagram Stories revealling that they would be spending Valentine’s Day together.
