All of us at Glamour HQ got a real treat today when the amazing Nicole Scherzinger took over our Twitter to answer those questions you’ve always wanted to ask.

Nicole, who (it won’t surprise you to learn) is just as beautiful in person as on screen, talked about her celeb mates, future projects (classical album, anyone?) and how she thinks Louis Walsh has forgotten all about her.

The star, who is currently in London promoting her new album, told us all about what she’d tell the young Nicole (“You’re perfect just the way God made you!”), how she’d love to be on Broadway and whether she’d ever do a Greatest Hits album.

Scroll down to see what else Nicole had to say…
