Nadine Coyle is planning to leave Girls Aloud and launch a solo career.

The singer is apparently "sick to death" of performing on children's music show CD:UK and has decided that the next album will be her last.

A friend told The Sun, "Nadine’s had enough. A solo career is now on."

The insider added that she is "in love" with Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe, who she met in Australia last month.

Girls Aloud were formed in 2002 on talent show Popstars: The Rivals.
