FABULOUS AT FORTY Nicole Scherzinger looks radiant after celebrating milestone birthday with pals in London

Former X Factor judge headed to Bagatelle restaurant with her friends to mark her milestone day.

NICOLE Scherzinger couldn’t stop smiling after celebrating her 40th birthday in London.

She joined friends in the capital’s Bagatelle restaurant for a meal to mark her milestone day.

The former X Factor judge looked radiant in a pair of ripped jeans which she wore with a simple vest top.

She teamed the outfit with a chic white coat and wore her long hair over her shoulders in curls.

Nicole was joined by a group of pals for the night out but her boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov was not seen.

The tennis player is in London ahead of his first match at Wimbledon on Monday.

Nicole is expected to be a regular face in the stands as she supports her long distance boyfriend.

While Nicole’s love life is going from strength to strength, her TV career hit the rocks after Simon Cowell didn’t invite her back on The X Factor.

The Sun exclusively revealed details of departure and confirmed Louis Walsh was leaving the show.

An insider said: “Nicole was a passionate judge but has no contract and won’t be back this year in order to bring in fresh blood.”

“Louis has had a great run, but he’s advertising hearing aids for God’s sake. It’s beyond a joke.”

Irish music mogul Louis confirmed our story and released a statement confirming he’d walked away from the panel after 11 years.
