Cheer up, love: Nicole Scherzinger has a face like thunder after boyfriend Lewis Hamilton whisks her away from a lunch date

By Daily Mail Reporter

For most of us Tuesday afternoons are spent toiling away in the office.

So you'd think Nicole Scherzinger would have a hint of a smile after being treated to lunch in Beverly Hills during working hours.

But the former Pussycat Dolls singer had a face like thunder as Lewis Hamilton, 26, drove them away from E Baldi.

Looking painfully thin with protruding shoulder bones, perhaps the X Factor USA judge was upset because her other half got to tuck into the Italian delicacies but she was forced to have a salad.

Or maybe she was annoyed at the choice of vehicle the British Formula One driver had picked for their day out, hoping he would have selected another model from his array of motors in the garage.

Either way, the Dancing With The Stars 2010 winner, 33, has plenty to smile about.

Her notoriety is about to rocket as she is certain to become a household name across the world when she sits next to Simon Cowell on the panel for the first ever US version of the UK reality show.

Her solo career is also going from strength-to-strength, with several Top 10 hits both sides of the Atlantic and her latest track Wet creeping up the iTunes chart in Britain.

Lewis, however, seemed pretty content as he clutched a doggy bag and enjoyed the sunshine in denim shorts and a neon pink T-shirt.

Last month, Nicole's father Alfonso announced his daughter was engaged to be married.

But shortly afterwards she denied it on Twitter, saying: 'Lewis and I woke up this morning and read we were engaged! Sorry to disappoint u all but its not true :)'
