Pop beauty Nicole Scherzinger has joked she has "muscles of steel" when she faces bullies.

The 'Boomerang' songstress is known for her sunny personality, but insists she turns when faced with "mean" people.

She told British magazine Heat: "I don't like people abusing other people. It's uncalled for. And I was the girl who would stand up for people being bullied in school. I feel like I'm like ten-feet tall and have muscles of steel when actually I'm this scrawny girl - [but still] like, I could take you on!"

Scherzinger, 34, says despite her showbiz profile, she leads a very "normal" life.

When asked if she's ever eaten cold pizza for breakfast, the star replied: "Oh my gosh, yes! I just ate cold pizza last week actually because I was working so much on the house and I didn't want to leave so I ordered pizza and then had it for breakfast the next morning!"
