Nicole Scherzinger shares update on painful burns she sustained after boiling water spilled on her leg

Nicole Scherzinger has shared an update on the painful burns she received after boiling water spilled on her leg before a concert last month.

The 48-year-old Pussycat Dolls frontwoman took to Instagram on Tuesday to show her 7.4 million followers how her leg is healing following the injury that happened on September 26.

She shared three photos of the burns and blisters alongside three selfies showing her all dolled up.

“What they see vs. what they don’t see,” she wrote in the caption.

The update comes after Scherzinger revealed boiling water had spilled on her leg just one hour before she was set to take the stage in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Despite the injury, the TV personality forged ahead with her performance, telling fans that “the show must go on”.

She is currently travelling around the world on her PCD Forever Tour, for which she has reunited with her Pussycat Dolls members Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts.

The reunion comes nearly two decades after the group made its debut at the American Music Awards, with the trio returning to the stage together in 2026.

The current iteration of the group was announced in March alongside the release of their new track, Club Song.

In May, Scherzinger, Roberts and Wyatt performed Don’t Cha with Busta Rhymes at the American Music Awards.

The singer said she was excited to be sharing the stage with Roberts and Wyatt in what she described as a new version of the group.

But the reunion has attracted controversy after original members Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta previously said they were not included in the group’s return.

Bachar said in an Instagram statement that she learned about the group’s plans at the same time as the public and would have appreciated being contacted directly.

Meanwhile, Sutta said she hadn’t planned to return and was unable to dance because of ongoing health issues.

The tour is scheduled to wrap on October 30 in São Paulo, Brazil.
