Nicole Scherzinger can relate to her "broken" character in Cats.
The former Pussy Cat Dolls frontwoman believes that she has a strong connection with Grizabella the Glamour Cat, because she's faced many personal struggles like the role she's going to take on as part of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber's reboot of the musical.
Speaking to the Daily Mail Nicole said: "There are so many layers to her ... no wonder Eliot warned it was too sad for children. Grizabella is broken and I know what that feels like, to be broken not only on the inside from personal relationships but in many ways.
"She's been shunned and mistreated by society and her people. I understand feeling like an outcast, feeling like an outsider, feeling like I don't fit in and wanting to be accepted."
She also admitted that she's yet to sing 'Memory' in front of Lord Webber, instead waiting for rehearsals to blow him away.
"It's sacred. I haven't touched the song because I'm waiting for rehearsals. Andrew and I have worked together a number of times. He has faith in me."
Despite the connection, the singer admitted that she actually has a cat allergy.
"I'm allergic to cats! Like, I'm really allergic to cats. I like dogs."
Nicole stars in the West End production from December of this year to February 2015.
