It comes after Nicole defended the group’s risqué outfits for appearance on The X Factor UK in December, which garnered more than 600 complaints.

‘We didn’t [know]. Those costumes, we put that together in three days and those outfits were a bit provocative,’ Nicole said on The Project on Wednesday.

‘But we’re woman now. It takes courage to be that vulnerable. It takes a lot of courage to wear that and to do it.’

‘We always do that with confidence with the intent of inspiring and empowering others. All the women out there and anybody who feels they relate to us,’ she added.

The Pussycat Dolls are in Australia to promote the upcoming So Pop Festival in April.

They will be joined by a host of other late ’90s and early ’00s acts, including Jesse McCartney and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
