Nadine ends Girls Aloud split rumours

Nadine Coyle has ended rumours that she is preparing to quit Girls Aloud.

Reports yesterday suggested that the singer didn't want to attend the Brit Awards with her band and was ready to leave the group.

Coyle previously claimed she had lost her passport meaning she missed her flight from LA to London for the ceremony.

She has sought to end speculation through a statement on the girl-group's website, insisting that the story about her passport was true.

The messages reads: "I hope you all enjoyed watching the Brits last night. It's a shame we didn't win Best British Band, but we're big fans of Arctic Monkeys so we're happy it was them. Any indie band that covers 'Love Machine' is alright by us.

"I just wanted to let you all know how frustrating it is losing your passport. I lost it somewhere over here [LA] and wasn't able to make it back for last night's show.

"That's the only reason I wasn't there! Hello? I'd love to have spent the night with my girls and watch Amy, Kylie and Rihanna perform.

"Anyway I'll be back soon and you can catch us all performing on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on 1 March. See you all there."
