Nicole Scherzinger privately partied into the early hours with Prince following his intimate gig at Camden's Electric Ballroom on Wednesday (February 5).

According to The Sun, the X Factor judge travelled from the other side of London to catch the singer in action and then got a special invite back to the Purple Rain singer's pad.

Scherzy was later spotted leaving his digs at 2.59am, with a source telling the tabloid: "Nicole was at another awards do attended by Prince Charles then went to see Prince in Camden.

“When the gig was over Prince went to his hotel in one car at 1am and Nicole pulled up shortly after with four minders. She stayed for a couple of hours.”

The former Pussycat Dolls star is thought to have arrived at the show during Prince's medley of When Doves Cry and Sign O' The Times.

She later posted a snap on Instagram of herself and Prince's pal Lianne La Havas at the gig, calling Prince "1 Funky Brother" in the caption.
