Girls Aloud 'fear Nadine walk-out'

Girls Aloud are worried that Nadine Coyle has quit the band after she failed to attend the Brit Awards last night, it has been claimed.

Reports yesterday suggested that the singer missed her flight from LA to London because she had lost her passport.

However, Coyle reportedly told the rest of the girls that she didn't want to "be a part" of the Brits and the band are allegedly "in panic mode".

A source told Heat: "Nadine has told the girls she doesn’t want to walk the red carpet or be a part of the Brits tonight so she didn’t fly back. Simple as that.

"She’s thrown tonight’s appearance into a complete spin. It was supposed to be Cheryl Cole’s big first night out since the Ashley scandal - but instead it’s all about Nadine.

"She’s with her parents in LA. Everyone’s in panic mode - Nadine was due to be there. She’s professional at all times. They think she’s walked out on the band."
