Nadine Coyle reveals why Girls Aloud won’t reform

December 1, 2010

Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle says the band won’t be joining forces again.  The reason, she states, is not the rumoured in-fighting, nor is it their solo project successes which will keep them apart.  No, the real reason, she claims, is hair extensions.
