Nicole Scherzinger shows off her toned legs in a plunging thigh-split dress at restaurant opening

She has been tanning in Barcelona amid claims she was axed from The X Factor.

And Nicole Scherzinger put the explosive drama behind her as she ensured all eyes were on her at The Avra Restaurant opening in Beverly Hills, California on Thursday.

The American singer, 39, put her phenomenally long legs on display in her monochrome dress which featured a sexy asymmetrical hem slashed to her thigh.

Nicole stunned onlookers on arrival as she climbed out of the taxi, which drew further attention to her lengthy pins in her open-toe boots. 

To accentuate her envy-inducing figure, the dress featured a plunging neckline with ruffled detailing as well as a belt to bring in the garment at the waistline.

The Don't Hold Your Breath hitmaker wore her raven-coloured tresses tumbling down to her waist in beachy waves.

Fresh from her sun-soaked trip to Spain's Barcelona, the songstress showcased glowing tan in her thigh-split perilously plunging garment.

Nicole's sensational appearance follows reports the singer reportedly received the axe from The X Factor.

The singer has allegedly been cut from the judging panel ahead of filming for the upcoming series in June, as boss Simon Cowell looks to shake up the show in a bid to boost fledgling ratings.

A source told The Sun: 'Nicole was a passionate judge but has no contract and won't be back this year in order to bring in fresh blood.'

Meanwhile an X Factor spokesperson told MailOnline: 'There is always speculation regarding the judging panel. It's too early to confirm the judges for the next series.'

Following on from this sources hinted that her co-stars Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh would remain on the judging panel, as ITV refused to pay out the remainder of their fees for terminating their contracts early.

A source told The Mail On Sunday: 'Louis and Sharon have to stay. Both made it clear they were going nowhere and they would fight for their jobs.

'Not only would the cost to get rid of them run into several million, so would the stars who would take over. It is just not a feasible option, they will be back alongside Simon.

'But the big issue here is that it means Simon can't go young again, he can't get a team of young talent in to appeal to a new audience.

'Instead, he will have to stick with what he has got – and accept that his loyal audience is much older than he had believed.'
