Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger feels sorry for Victoria Beckham - because having a sports star partner is so "exhausting".
The singer was trackside in South America to support her racing driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, watching him eventually lift the 2008 Formula One World Title following a nerve-wracking race at the Brazilian Grand Prix last Sunday.
And Scherzinger admits she found the experience completely draining, and can now empathise with Beckham - whose soccer star husband David plays for Los Angeles Galaxy, and recently signed for AC Milan - because supporting a sports star partner is a lot of hard work.
She says, "It was like time stood still, like being on a giant rollercoaster.
"At times I dared not look and kept peeking through my fingers to see what was happening. I now know what Victoria Beckham goes through watching David at all those games - you get really exhausted."
