X Factor winner Matt Terry has revealed that he hasn’t heard from his former mentor Nicole Scherzinger in years.
The singer won the ITV show in 2016 and has since had a successful singing career after being coached by the Pussycat Doll lead singer.
When chatting exclusively to showbiz reporter Carly Hacon on a Daily Star Facebook Live, he shared the last time he had heard from Nicole.
Matt, 28, said: “To be honest, no we’ve not spoken in a while. I feel like I touched base with her when she dropped her new song with the Pussycat Dolls.

“I know that I love her and she loves me and I think we are just both life-ing. I’m so happy for her and what she’s up to and I know she feels the same about me.
“It’s one of those things, two different worlds, different countries, different ages, but the love is still there and I know that.”
He also revealed his dream music collaborations in the exclusive interview.

Matt explained: “I feel like Sam Smith and I would sound great together. If I’m shooting for the stars, Adele, hello! Unrealistic, let’s be real but I can dream. I love her, I nearly swore then, sorry, but she’s the one.”
But as fellow X Factor icons Little Mix officially split ways, who would he like to pin down on a track?

He said: “That is so hard, I just love them I really do. I think they are phenomenal, they are icons. It’s really tough that one, but, Jade.
“I love different things about each of them but I think Jade. I think I can see her releasing music that I really want to listen to. And the other girls are going to be mumming it up.”
Matt is currently starring in the musical Rock Of Ages as Stacee Jaxx and fans from all over the UK can see him at a theatre near them.

Talking about his role, Matt said: “It’s my third musical, I trained in theatre, so it’s something I really wanted to do. I play the role of Stacee Jacks – who Tom Cruise played in the film.”
But does he channel his inner Tom Cruise on stage?
“No, actually, my inspiration for this character is half Johnny Depp in Pirates of The Caribbean and half Harry Styles, it’s like that rockstar vibe. And very Jack sparrow,” he explained.
