Nicole Scherzinger gave her Twitter followers an unexpected treat this weekend when she posted a picture online that was taken as she got out of the shower.

The racy picture was actually taken so Nicole could work out the best way to wrap her hair up in a 'twisty towel', as she said: Uhh...Does anyone know how to work this twisty towel thing? Haha!

Nicole recently spent time in Mexico and kept her fans up to date with her activities, including horse riding on the beach and spending time with friends on a private yacht. The X Factor USA judge was due a rest after spending 2011 working on the hit reality show and promoting her 'Killer Love' album.

It was recently reported that Scherzinger could join the judging panel on Andrew Lloyd Webber's new West End TV talent search, Superstar.
