SINGER Nadine Coyle has insisted she did not fall out with her former Girls Aloud bandmates – because there was "no friendship to begin with".
The 32-year-old from Derry admitted she was no longer in contact with the other four members of the hugely successful all-girl pop group.
Appearing on ITV2 comedy panel show Celebrity Juice, host Keith Lemon asked the songstress: "Do you see any of them still?"
Coyle responded: "No. It's for the best."
Lemon said: "I heard that you fell out", but she replied: "There was no fall-out – there was just no friendship to begin with."
As the audience gasped, the mother-of-one said: "What are you oohing about?!"
Lemon added: "Is there going to be a reunion?", to which Coyle responded: "Probably at some point, yeah!"
Coyle was one of former bandmate Cheryl's bridesmaids at her 2006 wedding to now ex-husband Ashley Cole.
Lemon asked her: "You were in Girls Aloud, who was your favourite?" Coyle pulled an awkward expression before smiling and saying: "Them all!"
The five-piece band – the other three members were Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberly Walsh – had 20 top-10 singles and four million album sales.
