NICOLE Scherzinger was stunned when the contestant she called the “cutest” on The Masked Singer flirted back with her on stage. 

The 42-year-old Pussycat Doll blew several kisses to Baby Alien and even said she wanted to “adopt” the performer - but blushed when her feelings were reciprocated.

The reality show competitor sang his best rendition of George Michael’s ballad, Faith, in the out of this world costume. 

After he got done with the song, the girl-group front woman gave a standing ovation as she puckered up and blew multiple kisses to the costumed singer. 

“I’m going to adopt Baby Alien,” Nicole said adamantly before adding she “wants to take him.”

When host Nick Cannon, 39, asked the space cadet why he decided to join the show, he focused his answer on his love for Nicole and co-star Jenny McCarthy.

“I come to planet Earth and share a hidden talent. I’m a big fan of Pussycat Dolls. Also big fan of Jenny McCarthy. 

“I had your poster on the wall as a teenager,” he said of the former Playboy model. 

As the Baby Alien was praising the duo of women on the panel, Nicole’s jaw dropped to the floor as she placed her hand over her mouth. 

Jenny, 47, also appeared shocked over the candid confession from the mystery man and awkwardly laughed it off.

Nicole - who looked gorgeous in a skin-tight purple mini dress - tweeted that Baby Alien has “the CUTEST costume by far.”

The pop star guessed that the secret singer under the non-earthling mask was Friends star David Schwimmer. 

At the end of the episode, judges and viewers were speechless when a contestant self-eliminated for the first time in the show’s history. 

Oscar-winner Mickey Rourke, 68, decided to take off his Gremlin mask and reveal his identity immediately after a “shaky” rendition of Stand by Me.

When Nick attempted to stop the actor, Mickey managed to take off his mask before the host could stop him.

Although the show was going for a buzz-worthy moment, most fans felt the move missed the mark and slammed the show for its “anti-climactic” hype.

One fan said: "So uh… that was the weirdest episode of #TheMaskedSinger ever.”

Another person tweeted: "This episode was confusing and just not entertaining… but the Seahorse and the Serpent were amazing!”

An additional fan wrote: "Honestly… the self-elimination and lack of voting made the entire ending very anti-climatic.”

While many fans found the move strange, others opted to criticize the actor for his voice during the performance on Twitter.

One fan tweeted: "I think Mickey Rourke was def drunk in that Gremlin costume.”
