Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle has skipped out on tour rehearsals to see her boyfriend - in LA.

The singer, who had reportedly been having "a few disagreements" with boyfriend Jesse Metcalfe, who plays the gardener in hit US TV show Desperate Housewives, left rehearsals to try to patch thing up.

A source said, "He is busy filming a new series of Housewives and they haven't seen each other for weeks...So she just booked a flight to LA."
