Girls Aloud 'too busy for Nadine Coyle'

Members of Girls Aloud have told Nadine Coyle that they are "too busy" to see her, it has been claimed.

According to Heat, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh ignored Coyle's arrival in London when she visited the city to finish off work on her upcoming solo album.

A source said: "Nadine wanted to meet up with the other girls. But they all said they were too busy. Nadine was feeling frustrated, as she felt she hadn't actually fallen out with them.

"Nadine thinks she's been too patient, letting herself be sidelined. She refused to record solo material years ago, because she said she'd feel bad about leaving the girls in the lurch. She had loads of offers, but turned them down, which she now regrets."

However, another source supposedly close to the rest of the group told the publication: "They weren't leaving her out.

"There are only so many times you can invite someone and not have them turn up before you stop asking them to come along. They're not a bunch of bitches."

Coyle 'on board to smash colostomy taboo'

Nadine Coyle has joined forces with a company which manufactures designer underwear for people who have undergone bowel surgery.

The Girls Aloud star became the celebrity ambassador of Nicola Dames's Vanilla Blush venture after her friend Connor Grant was left needing a colostomy bag following surgery in January, PA reports.

Coyle said: "I was amazed at the negative connotations that surrounds people with a stoma and also shocked at the lack of exposure in the mainstream media. This is one taboo which I am right on board in helping to smash.

"Nicola has turned people's lives around with her underwear. You can still look and feel gorgeous whilst having a colostomy or ileostomy."

Coyle confirmed on Twitter that she was donating one of her "favourite tops" to a charity backed by the company.

Dames added: "I am so excited to have Nadine on board. It's phenomenal to have such a celebrity figure supporting Vanilla Blush and raising awareness. With Nadine on board this is a real chance to smash the last remaining taboo."
