FORGET the pandemic – Nicole Scherzinger and boyfriend Thom Evans have been enjoying a tan-demic.
While millions of us were banged up at home in our PJs, the pair have been gallivanting around some of the world’s most enviable holiday spots for a full year.

Thom and Nicole have clocked up trips to Portugal, St Lucia, Malibu, Turks & Caicos and Hawaii since restrictions came in last March.
And they have documented the whole thing on their social media feeds, showing off their incredible sun-kissed bodies while most of us could only ‘travel’ to the kitchen for our seventh biscuit of the day.
Here we take a look at the gorgeous couples’ year in the sun after they decided to flee the UK for sunnier climes…
March 2020: California

X Factor: Celebrity star Nicole and her rugby ace boyfriend Thom acted fast when lockdown struck, jetting to her home in California.
We’d been used to seeing them doing meditating in the garage and doing workouts in the garden over in the UK.
But suddenly the slate-grey skies were swapped for dazzling blue – the tan-demic had begun.
Soon the pair were doing couple’s workout on the deck and filming TikTok videos joking: “Quarantine isn’t getting to us at all.”
June: Portugal

Next up, it was time for a spot of Euro-sun, with the lovebirds flying to Portugal to mark Nicole’s 42nd birthday.
They dropped in on Thom’s parents, who live out there, but if their Instagram is anything to go by they spent much of the time getting hot and heavy in front of a series of stunning sunsets.
Nicole shared a picture of her kissing the topless hunk on the back of a boat writing: “I am so blessed.” You got that right!
She added in another bikini snap with Thom: “Thank you God for another year around the sun.” Did you mean in the sun?
August: St Lucia

Clearly exhausted after weeks in Portugal the pair jetted off to St Lucia, in the Caribbean.
The pair were seen lazing in the sun at the luxury Sugar Beach resort, posing in matching blue swimsuits.
September: Malibu

By the end of February, the pair were back in California, once again under the blazing sun.
They posed jumping about in gymwear with Thom in his customary topless-and-grinning pose.
Nicole wrote: “Always find time for things that make you feel happy and grateful to be alive 💓.”
They spent Labor Day – a US celebration of workers – by going to Malibu Beach, where they posed by the ocean.
January 2021: Turks & Caicos

The pair saw in the New Year on the sun-drenched island of Turks & Caicos – the diddy next-door neighbour of Barbados.
Nicole and Thom, who met on X Factor: Celebrity at the end of 2019, were celebrating their first year as a couple.
She roared: “Come on LET’S GO 2021!!!” Unfortunately, a third national lockdown was coming back in the UK meaning no-one was going anywhere.
April: Hawaii

Next the pair were off to Hawaii to celebrate Thom’s birthday, which was at the start of this month.
They had a picnic on the beach and the pair later went on a hike about the green paradise – with him topless, naturally.
And they are still there now with the Masked Singer US star celebrating Nicole Scherzinger Day (which is a real thing, bizarrely) by frolicking in the waves earlier this week.
Guys, guys – we have only one thing to say about this extravagance: can we come along next time?
