"Through the heartache it's been liberating," she said. "People lose themselves to relationships. You're living for the other person, putting so much in that you have to take a step back. Do things for yourself."

Scherzinger added that she still hopes to have children, saying: "I definitely want kids - but not for a few years. My kids are going to be raised by me, the way my mom raised me.

"So I need to get my stuff out - albums, world tours, movies - and then try to do that."

Earlier this week, Scherzinger was quoted as saying that she was hopeful of getting back with Lewis Hamilton.

She said: "For now, we are just friends. But whatever the future holds, I don't rule anything out. I also don't have any regrets. For now, we are just friends."

Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton were rumoured to be on the verge of an engagement before their split earlier this summer.
