Nicole Scherzinger: I wanted to be J-Lo

Nicole Scherzinger used to try and make herself look like Jennifer Lopez.

The gorgeous singer is known for her flowing brunette locks and fabulous figure.

However, when she was younger, the 34-year-old wanted to look like somebody completely different and took curvaceous Jennifer as inspiration.

"I dyed my hair blonde once and it was horrible!" she laughed to British magazine Heat.

"I was in my early twenties and I was trying to look like J-Lo. It didn't work!"

The former Pussycat Doll star has admitted before that she wasn't always happy with her looks and even turned to self-harm and bulimia during her time in the girl band.

Nicole has now settled into a relationship with 27-year-old Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton and credits him with changing the way she perceives herself.

"He gave me the courage to end all that," she revealed to British magazine Now.

"He made me feel beautiful for who I am and not what pants size I'm wearing. That's when I started to try to turn this around. I thought, 'Wow, I've got to learn how to accept myself and my body.'"
