Westlife Mark: 'Nadine needs to keep going'

Westlife singer Mark Feehily has claimed that Nadine Coyle was forced into a chart battle with her Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole.

Coyle's debut solo single 'Insatiable' charted at number 26 in the UK charts earlier this month, followed by a disappointing chart position of number 47 for her LP. Meanwhile, Cole's second solo album and single 'Promise This' both topped the charts.

"I'm supporting Nadine," Feehily told the Daily Star. "She lives in LA now but I know her from years ago and we still keep in touch.

"She's an immensely talented girl and drop-dead gorgeous but Cheryl is the nation's sweetheart so anyone who gets compared to her is going to come off worse."

He continued: "I think Nadine just needs to keep her head down and carry on doing what she's doing. I don't like it when I feel people are being ganged up on. It's like a schoolground mentality.

"People want to read Girls Aloud are killing each other but it's only the five girls in the band who really know what’s going on."
