Nicole Scherzinger revealed the burn injuries on her leg as she stepped out in Manchester, days after a painful accident involving boiling water.
The 48-year-old singer suffered burns and blistering after boiling water spilled over her leg just an hour before she was due to perform with the Pussycat Dolls in Düsseldorf last weekend.
One week after the incident, Nicole appeared determined to carry on as she was photographed wearing cropped black leggings and a matching sports bra, leaving the injuries visible.
The “Don’t Cha” hitmaker kept a low profile as she left her hotel, shielding her eyes with sunglasses and wearing a black baseball cap.
She completed her casual outfit with Nike trainers and wore her long, dark hair pulled back into a tidy ponytail.
Nicole appeared in good spirits as fans greeted her outside the hotel, stopping to sign autographs for them.

Last Sunday, Nicole shared an image of the burns and blisters, just one day after the accident.
Despite the injury, she made clear that she did not intend to let it derail the tour, declaring that “the show must go on.”
The NHS advises anyone who suffers a burn to cool the affected area under cool running water for 20 minutes. It also recommends removing tight clothing or jewellery from near the injury before swelling develops.
“Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set – but the show must go on,” she wrote.
“Thanks Düsseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam.”
The Pussycat Dolls announced their comeback in March, alongside their first single in six years, “Club Song,” which was produced and co-written by Mike Sabath.
However, the group was forced to cancel the entire US leg of its comeback tour last month amid disappointing ticket sales.
Nicole, Ashley Roberts, 45, and Kimberly Wyatt, 44, had initially announced plans to reunite as a trio for a 53-date tour across the UK, Europe and North America.
In a major setback, the band was later forced to scrap the 33 dates scheduled across the US and Canada after weak sales reportedly left arenas 80 per cent empty.

Organisers had even reduced ticket prices to $30, but ultimately cancelled the shows just one month before the tour was due to begin with a first performance in Palm Desert, California, on June 5.

Sharing a statement to Instagram, the band wrote: ‘When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world.
‘After taking an honest look at the North American run, we’ve made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates.
‘Our UK and European dates are still moving forward as planned, and the response has been incredible, with several shows already sold out,’ they continued.
‘We are putting everything into making this show a true celebration of the music and the memories, for the fans who have been with us from the beginning and those discovering us for the first time.
‘We’re working hard to create the kind of show we’ve always dreamed of bringing to you. We cannot wait to bring this reunion to Europe and make these nights unforgettable.’
The trio kicked off their tour in Copenhagen in September followed by shows in Paris, Warsaw and the UK.
Those who bought tickets from Ticketmaster or AXS were informed they would receive a full refund automatically, while those who bought theirs from third-party resellers have been advised to contact their point of purchase.
The Pussycat Dolls’ comeback has been marred in controversy since it was first announced due to the exclusion of three of the group’s founding members, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton.
Carmit and Jessica have since revealed they were both blindsided by the reunion and were never even asked to take part, with the latter going as far as to call it a ‘cash grab’.
