Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly decided to quit The Pussycat Dolls in order to focus on her solo career.

The 30-year-old fuelled speculation that she was leaving the dance troupe after their latest single 'Jai Ho!' was released under the name 'Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger'.

According to reports, the star will leave the chart-topping group after they complete promotion for their latest album Doll Domination.

"The big reason most people believe is that Nicole has actually now LEFT the Pussycat Dolls but is still remaining with them until the Doll Domination era is over," blogger Perez Hilton commented.

During their recent European tour, Scherzinger performed their song 'Hush Hush' on her own while the other girls were backstage.

The singer previously failed in a bid to launch a successful solo career. Her album Her Name Is Nicole was shelved after singles 'Baby Love' and 'Whatever U Like' failed to score highly in the charts.
