Nicole Scherzinger was such an emotionally delicate child that her schoolmates used to call her “cry baby”.

The ‘Right There’ singer, who performed on last night’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ finale, said that the “slightest thing” could send her into tears as a kid.

In an interview with Live Magazine, the star said: "My nickname at school was cry baby. I was the most fragile, vulnerable kid and very easily hurt. I'd burst into tears if anyone was mean.

"It always amazes me how this kid who was so easily knocked also had this burning desire to perform. I wanted to sing, to act, to get up on a stage and show what I could do, but when I was off that stage I was hurt by the slightest thing."
