(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Nicole Scherzinger is said to be so determined to make her relationship with racecar driver Lewis Hamilton work that she is going to spend thousands of pounds in travel costs.

The 34-year-old former Pussycat Doll will be filming The X Factor in the UK from October until Christmas and wants to see Lewis as often as she can in between shows.

And Britain's The Sun newspaper claims that she will be chartering a private jet to be by her beau's side wherever he is in the world as he prepares for his various Grand Prix meetings.

Her trips will include places like Abu Dhabi and Brazil and will likely set her back at least 50,000 a time.

"Lewis will sort some flights out for her, but she's booking some herself and they're eye-wateringly expensive," a source told the publication.

Nicole also wants to rent a 20,000-a-month London home to "escape the madness" while working for the singing competition show which should take a large chunk of her reported 750,000 salary.

"If she has any cash left at the end of this I'd be surprised," the insider added. (C) Cover Media
