Nicole Scherzinger displayed her injuries as she left her hotel in Manchester on Tuesday, just days after being scalded by boiling water in a nasty accident.

The 48-year-old singer’s leg was left burned and covered in blisters after the spillage just an hour before she was due on stage with her fellow Pussycat Dolls in Dusseldorf on Saturday.

And in her first public appearance since the accident, Nicole put on a brave face as she headed out alongside Ashley Roberts, 45, and Kimberly Wyatt, 44, ahead of their next concert at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena in the UK.

The star opted for a pair of loose-fitting shorts, so as not to rub against her burns, teaming them with a simple black vest, baseball cap, and sneakers.

She offered a small smile and a wave to onlookers as she made her way outside.

Ashley, meanwhile, flashed her legs in a pair of black cycling shorts, matching knee-high boots, a black zip-up sweater, and sunglasses.

Kimberly opted for a casual sage green velour tracksuit for the journey, finishing off her outfit with navy sneakers and shades.

All three looked in good spirits as they prepared to kick off the UK leg of their PCD Forever tour.

On Sunday, Nicole posted a picture of her burns and blisters just a day after the incident took place.

She was determined not to let her injury ruin the tour as she insisted ‘the show must go on.’

‘Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set – but the show must go on,’ she wrote.

‘Thanks Dusseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam.’

The Pussycat Dolls announced their comeback in March along with their first single in six years, Club Song – produced and co-written by Mike Sabath.

However, last month they were forced to axe the entire U.S. leg of their comeback tour due to dismal ticket sales.

Ashley, Nicole and Kimberly had originally announced they would be reuniting as a trio for a massive 53-date run across the UK, Europe and North America.

But in a humiliating blow, the band have now been forced to scrap the 33 dates they had planned in their native U.S. as well as Canada after poor sales left arenas 80 per cent empty.
