Nicole Scherzinger has been using confidence boosting selfies and her faith to battle through her break-up.

The singer split from long-term boyfriend Lewis Hamilton recently after an on-off relationship.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, the US star opened up about how is she is coping with the break-up.

Scherzinger said: "For anyone going through a hard time, you feel broken. It's about piecing yourself together and just focusing on you.

"Working on yourself, getting whole, getting strong, taking care of yourself, loving yourself, finding self-acceptance.

"Finding your worth again, whatever that is - take some selfies in good lighting, put cute contouring on your face, take some Instagram pics, have a margarita, whatever it takes to boost your self-esteem.

''You have to work on yourself and not focus on the other person. If you do that, you're going to stay the old you and you are not winning - other people are winning and you are not. You can't dwell on the past."

The 'Big Fat Lie' star added: "I pray a lot - my faith is probably the best thing about me. But you have to really sit down and figure out what you're meant for - go figure out a plan of how you're going to go for that."
