Nicole Scherzinger broke down in tears as she accepted her first ever Broadway accolade at the 78th Annual Tony Awards.

The Pussycat Dolls singer won Best Leading Actress in a Musical award for her performance of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

Accepting her award at the star-studded ceremony in New York on Sunday (8 June), the 46-year-old broke down in tears.

She said: “Growing up I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong, and I have come home at last.”
