Speaking of Nadine, when it comes to Girls Aloud, there's a whole lotta history between its respective band members. With rumours of rifts and behind-the-scenes bickering talk, Nadine Coyle and Cheryl have found themselves at the forefront of the 'feud' talk for almost two decades.

So, what is the situation between them right now?

Nadine revealed she and Cheryl are now on 'cordial' terms, admitting: "It’s been seven years since the last reunion tour and it feels like seven years!

"Cheryl emailed me recently and I bumped into Kimberley [Walsh] a few weeks ago as well, which was lovely."

She added: "I haven’t seen Sarah [Harding] or Nicola in a long time, but everything remains very cordial.

"We’re not best mates, it’s just the way it’s always been. I’m very close to a lot of people from my time in the band, like our hair and make-up people and the dancers, but you gravitate towards the people that you have stuff in common with."
