Girls Aloud star hits out at "bully" Moyles
Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts has blasted Chris Moyles, claiming that the Radio 1 DJ has bullied her for six years based on her looks.

Moyles recently insulted the singer on his show, saying: "What's with the long face, horsey chops? Give us a smile."

Responding to Moyles's attacks in Heat, Roberts said: "Enough's enough, Chris. Shut the f*** up!

"This argument doesn't bother me any more. I've grown out of it - it's six years old.

"His obsession with me needs to stop. I don't care what he says about me, but what bothers me is that there are loads of people being bullied for the way they look or act. They are made to feel s*** about themselves because they don't conform to how society wants them to be.

"I have bright red hair, pale skin and, yeah, I can be quite shy, but that doesn't mean I'm rude or miserable. I'm growing up, I'm learning and I'm slowly becoming more confident."

Roberts's bandmate Cheryl Cole has also criticised Moyles, saying: "I find what he says about my friend really offensive and upsetting."
