'Take my breath away': Nicole Scherzinger continues to try and heal her broken heart with a luxurious getaway to Venice with pals
Nicole Scherzinger is undoubtedly still hurting after calling off her seven-year relationship with Lewis Hamilton in February.
So it's little wonder why she decided to jet off to Venice on Friday for a much needed getaway with a few close pals.
Clearly having a blast on her mini escape while soaking up the sights of the historic Italian city, the 36-year-old has been regularly posting pictures of her holiday on Instagram.

In one snap, the US star can be seen posing on a speedboat with a face full of makeup with San Giorgio Church in the background.
Underneath the picture, she wrote: '#Venetian #sunset #SanGiorgioChurch #Venice #takemybreathaway.'
Minutes later, the star posted another image of herself posing seductively while cruising around the city's famous canals.

Walk down memory lane? Despite the former Pussycat Doll's declaration for Venice, her choice of destination was a poignant one, as it's the place she celebrated her sixth anniversary with Lewis last year
She captioned the picture 'Io am #Venezia', which of course is Italian for 'I love Venice'.
However, despite the former Pussycat Doll's declaration for the city, her choice of destination was a poignant one, as it's the place she celebrated her sixth anniversary with Lewis last year.
The two then-lovebirds were seen on a romantic gondola ride around the city's famous waterways, taking in the sights of their beautiful surroundings.
So it must be with a slightly heavy heart that she is back there once again, less than a year after celebrating their special time together.

Nicole parted ways with the 30-year-old last month due to the pressures of a long-distance relationship, and is said to be 'heartbroken and devastated' at seeing their seven-year on-off romance come to an end.
A source close to the star told MailOnline: 'It was a mutual decision. The long distance kept them apart for long periods of time.'
But another source hasn't ruled out a reconciliation between the two.
'It's been seven years now, and it's always the same reason that splits them up,' the second source said. 'Love always brings them back together.'
