During the celebrations at The Starchild Rooftop, the former X Factor judge posed up a storm with director Jamie Lloyd and her co-stars.

Nicole initially played the role of Norma when it opened in London last year, whilst  West End legend Rachel Tucker served as her alternate.

She and co-star Tom Francis both won an Olivier for their  efforts, and Tom will be joining the Don't Cha singer once again when the show opens on Broadway in October. 

Along with fellow London co-stars Grace Hodgett-Young and David Thaxton, the four of of them looked in great spirits as they all prepared for their Broadway debuts.

Nicole recently admitted that despite her success in theatre, she had initially felt 'discarded' by the industry following her pop career.

She told People: ''"I'm [46] years old. I’ve never been more strong — physically, mentally, emotionally. I’m in my prime. There is no better time for me to create work that is meaningful in this world.

'That's the tragedy: is that you're in the best place in your life. You're so full, you have so much to give, and people have discarded you, and dismissed you and said "Your time's up..."'

Nicole then insisted that it has been her 'lifelong dream' to make it to The Great White Way, which comes after appearances in shows like Cats and Rent since her pop heyday.

After kissing her fiancé Thom Evans, Nicole carefully made her way to the Royal Albert Hall stage in her daring gown.

Host Hannah Waddingham  helped her up the steps but as she reached the top, the actress stumbled, with actor David Oyelowo reaching out to help her.
