Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt has shared the status of the 00s band’s reunion as she admitted contact with singer Nicole Scherzinger is tough.

The Don’t Cha singer, 42, shot to fame as part of the group in the early 2000s before they split in 2010.

Fans of the band were elated when a reunion tour was set to take place in 2020, but ultimately never ended up happening due to the Covid pandemic.

Kim – who was in the band alongside Carmit Bachar, Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton – has said she is still ‘mostly in touch’ with group founder Robin Antin, but claimed that it is tricky to plan things with lead singer Nicole.

‘I am in touch with Robin mostly, and the girls, and sort of Nicole – she’s very elusive and very busy,’ she told the Mile Fly Club podcast.

‘It’s hard to find out what she wants to do next and where she stands with the group.’

Speaking about the tour, she further admitted that she had to give up a lot of her own work to commit to it in the first place.

‘You end lots of your work to open up all this space to go on the road, so when it all comes crashing down it was panic mode,’ she explained.

‘Three young kids, paying school fees and all these things – it changed our world.

‘We’ve had to rejig our entire life because of it.’

The When I Grow Up hitmaker – who has Willow, nine, Maple, six, and Ford, four with husband Max Rogers – also noted that she can see a future for the band, but has ‘no power’ in whether that actually happens or not.

‘That is not my choice to make as I don’t own the group,’ she continued.

‘But the brand could. I don’t know what the future of the Pussycat Dolls holds, and I don’t know if I have the power to make anything happen, but I’m always looking for opportunities to bring the girls back together.’

Pussycat Dolls were formed in 1995 as a dance troupe by choreographer Robin.

The ensemble became a pop group to enter the mainstream and received a record deal in 2003.

Shortly after they released their debut single Sway, which was featured on the soundtrack of 2004 film Shall We Dance?.

Pussycat Dolls went on to sell a whopping 55million records worldwide making them one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, spawning hits such as Buttons, Sitckwitu, and When I Grow Up.

Despite their success, the band often dealt with internal conflict due to Masked Singer judge Nicole’s prominence as the group’s lead singer and the sidelining of other members.

Carmit left the group in 2008, one year before the band’s final tour.

In 2019, Pussycat Dolls announced their reunion tour, with Carmit rejoining the band but with Melody not returning.

They treated fans to their first reunion performance at The X Factor: Celebrity finale with a medley of their hit songs, a performance which garnered more than 400 Ofcom complaints due to their ‘risque’ outfits.

After rescheduling their reunion tour numerous times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nicole announced its cancellation in 2022.
