Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton split after five years together

The X Factor judge and the Formula 1 racing driver, who went public with their romance back in 2007, are believed to have ended their relationship as their busy work schedules meant they just didn't get to see each other.

A source said: 'Nicole is just so heartbroken and completely devastated.'

Split: Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton have ended their relationship after five years together

A spokesperson for Nicole confirmed the split to Mail Online. 

The sad news comes just a matter of weeks after 28-year-old Lewis hinted that he was planning to propose to Nicole, 34. 

He said: 'We’ve been together for five years, which is quite a milestone really. But hopefully in the near future. Maybe before we get to six years.'

As they were: Nicole and Lewis were last pictured together at the Montreal Grand Prix in Canada on June 10th

Happier times: The pair began dating in 2007. They are pictured in in 2008 at the 46664 Concert honouring Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday

Nicole has regularly been seen supporting Lewis at his various Grand Prix commitments, but admitted previously she is only there for her beau, rather than knowing anything about the sport as a whole. 

She said: 'I only go to a Grand Prix to support Lewis. I am in awe of Formula One because there is so much money, technology and talent, but as for the racing, it really is like trying to understand rocket science when I’m there, trackside.

‘For me there’s only ever one winner and a lot of people would agree with me on that – Lewis is the best.'

Radiant: Nicole looked in good spirits a she performed at the Summer Music Festival in Rome, Italy on June 27th

Rocking the stage: Nicole looked incredible in a metallic dress and thigh-high boots

But since recommitting to the X Factor this year, Nicole has been kept busy with auditions in locations including Glasgow, Dublin and London, while Lewis has been concentrating on his racing career. 

The last time the couple were pictured together was at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on June 10th. 

Since then, Nicole has gone solo at various events including Wimbledon last week and the Summer Music Festival in Rome, Italy, where she put on a stunning performance last week.

Low profile: Lewis looked somewhat sombre as he was pictured before the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit on Sunday

Failing equipment: Lewis said afterwards that he thinks he would have won the race if his left rear tyre hadn't failed

Nicole and Lewis met at the European Music Awards in Munich in November 2007, before going public at the Monaco Grand Prix six months later.

In July 2011 there was unconfirmed speculation the couple had become engaged.

The couple briefly split in January 2010 when they had been together for 20 months, before later reconciling.

Nicole and Lewis then split again in late 2011, before giving their relationship another go in early 2012.

Nicole is expected to make an appearance at the X Factor auditions in Cardiff later this week.

Working hard: Nicole has been kept busy with her X Factor commitments on the judging panel alongside Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow

Working it: Nicole has been showing off her figure in a variety of sexy outfits for the auditions so far

Canadian Television Sales Announces Name & Address Change, Updated Logo & Website

Canadian Television Sales Announces Name & Address Change, Updated Logo & Website

Canadian Television Sales, the largest U.S. representative of Canadian media properties, has announced that effective today, the company will change its name to Canadian Media Sales (CMS). The rebranding more accurately reflects the companys diverse portfolio, which includes radio, digital and mobile offerings in addition to television. Canadian Media Sales also has an updated corporate logo and website (http://www.canmediasales.com).

Our new name, Canadian Media Sales, gives agencies an instant understanding of everything we have to offer, says Michael Custardo, CMS president. When we first started this company over 15 years ago, we focused entirely on television. Since then, media buys have expanded to include cross-platform solutions with radio, digital and mobile components. Weve been fortunate to grow with these industries, and have become a one-stop shop for U.S. media buyers looking to advertise in Canada.

Canadian Television Sales was created in 1997 in response to the increasing number of requests from U.S. advertising agencies looking to incorporate Canadian television into their upcoming media campaigns. The company expanded its portfolio to include Canadian radio properties in 1999, and started its online division in 2009. Over the past two years, CTS added seven mobile applications to its portfolio, which have seen tremendous success and consistently rank in the Apple Stores top apps. Canadian Media Sales representatives will continue to work with agencies to create media-specific packages or cross-platform buys across all types of media.

As CMSs media portfolio has grown, so has the staff. The company is relocating to a larger office space in New York as of October 1, 2012. The address of the new location is 545 Fifth Avenue, Suite 315, New York, NY 10017.

BRITNEY SPEARS Walks Off 'X Factor'

Britney Spears walked off the set of "X Factor" moments ago ... and according to several people in the audience, she was upset after a contestant butchered her song, "Hold It Against Me."

Britney did not come back immediately ... and four contestants auditioned in front of the remaining judges ... and an empty seat. 

Someone connected with the show tells us Britney was not upset over the song -- and that she "Just took a short break."

The show is currently on a break -- so we don't know if or when she will return to her seat.
