'Your Love' songstress Nicole Scherzinger has revealed that vocal powerhouse and global sensation Beyoncé is a huge inspiration to her and gives 'good hugs'.

The beauty explained that she feels empowered by Beyoncé and is lucky to count her as a friend: "She's no stranger, we all know her, we all love her. I'm inspired by her in every way as a singer, as a performer, as a woman, very empowering. And she's a great hugger as well, gives good hugs."

Scherzinger went onto praise 'Purple Rain' icon Prince, adding that he has taught her a lot over the years: "He is one of my favourite artists ever, I think most of the world can agree. And he's one of my favourite humans."

"A very good friend of mine. I've learnt so much from him, a great mentor, and I'm just inspired by every single one of his shows. I think I saw his last show recently here in London at Electric Ballroom. Probably the greatest performer I've ever seen."
