Normally, a bikini-clad video of Nicole Scherzinger would spark a flood of comments about her impeccable physique.

But her latest holiday snaps have caused a different kind of commotion.

The former Pussycat Doll has been slammed as ‘tasteless’ for a recent Instagram post, which features a bizarre video.

Alongside a carousel of holiday snaps, a no-longer-blonde Nicole shared a grainy video of a person on a stretcher carried by emergency workers, which then collapses leaving them to fall to the ground.

The injured person rolls, and the clip then switches to the 46-year-old singer rolling along the seated area of a luxury yacht.

Nicole grabs a glass of wine and holds it up, showing off the surrounding sea and landscape, which is thought to be somewhere off the coast of Portugal.

Her caption read: ‘Knocked out 🫠 vs knockout 😏.’

Some of her friends found the video amusing, with hairdresser Carl Bembridge writing: ‘😂😂😂😂😂 She’s on a roll.’

Robin Thicke, of Blurred Lines fame, sent laughing and heart emojis as TV presenter Nick Ede said: ‘Obsessed queen of rolling ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🤣’.

However, the majority of commenters did not share this enthusiasm and slammed the former X Factor judge for being insensitive.

‘That is the most tasteless thing I’ve seen in a long time 😮,’ commented Zornica Taskova as Josi wrote: ‘Not nice. Unfollowed.’

Gracirei said: ‘This is really bad taste, why did you do this??😡.’

‘Sorry, but that’s not funny!’ said Erica Daniels, as Danny Dover added: ‘Clearly live in a bubble of privilege.’

Narjes Djemai said: ‘No, but seriously????!!!! Nicole I’m disappointed in you this is really not cool.’

Others defended the star, saying the video format of the injured person falling was just a trend and was ‘funny’.

‘It’s a huge trend. I have a local attorney who does it for commercials now,’ Danielle Borrelli commented.

There are some examples of the trend on TikTok but it appears to be mainly used by businesses in Portugal and Spain.

Unfazed, the Don’t Cha hitmaker continued to post holiday snaps without responding to concerned fans.

In a follow-up post, she shared clips of her dancing with friends and enjoying seafood platters in the sunshine.

Nicole wrote: ‘In the midst of a heavy work schedule, I’ve never been more grateful for these sweet summer moments…and I’ll take my whisky, “on the rocks” 😉.’

In May, Nicole’s antics also caught fans’ eyes as she filmed a TikTok dance in a very daring black swimsuit.

Dancing with her fiance, former Scottish rugby player Tom Evans, and her pregnant sister, Keala, the star’s outfit had some very large cutouts.

She was rocking a plunge halter neck top with only one narrow strip of fabric keeping it together.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Nicole’s reps for comment.
