Hello sailor! Nicole Scherzinger wowed the audience on the Dancing With The Stars in a revealing sailor's outift
As a member of the Pussycat Dolls she's used to being raunchy and wearing revealing outfits.
And Nicole Scherzinger didn't let the side down on Dancing With The Stars this week as she performed in a sexy sailor outfit.
The 32-year-old entertainer took to the floor in an eye-popping, low-cut top for a lively quickstep with partner Derek Hough.
All hands on deck: The Pussycat Doll and partner Derek Hough put in a high-energy performance for their Anthing Goes routine
She did well to preserve her modesty during a high-energy, slapstick routine to Anything Goes by Cole Porter.
In a amusing, theatrical rendition, Lewis Hamilton's girlfriend and her partner began by mopping the floor, before launching into a series of impressive manoeuvres.
Before the show Nicole explained partner Derek Hough's strategy for the week's performance
She said: 'We had the quickstep. We decided to take a risk and do something that we wanted to do on our own. We're not really playing by the rules necessarily.
Fun loving: The couple fool around with their mops backstage
Tight-lipped: The pair were shocked by Len Goodman's criticism of their quickstep - and the suggestion they'd taken the mickey
'We're taking it old school. We're going back to the basics of, like, sheer entertainment and being performers, kind of like slapstick comedy.
'And [we're] just having a good time. I don't know if the judges are gonna necessarily like it so much. We'll see.'
The couple were eventually awarded a total score of 23 for entertainment value despite criticism from the judges that it wasn't strictly a quickstep.
Len Goodman, who gave them six points, said: 'I think you took the title of the song too literally, Anything Goes. I got the story, I got the performance, I got clever.
Crest of a wave: Nicole and Derek pick up 23 points for their efforts
Sorry, Len: But Nicole felt obliged to apologise for 'breaking the rules' with the act
'I didn't get quickstep, you broke the rules.
'You are taking the mickey out of us judges, because that wasn't a quickstep.'
Both Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba agreed with Len's assessment, but awarded the couple nine and eight points respectively.
The criticism left Scherzinger clearly shocked - speaking after the judges' feedback she said: 'We weren't trying to take the Mickey, Len, I'm so sorry - we did take the song literally, Anything Goes, and we just wanted to have fun with it.'
I'm the king of the world: The couple reenacted scenes from Titanic in rehearsals, although Nicole broke down in tears at one point while they practised together
