Coyle dismisses rumours of rift with Cole
Tuesday 15 December 2009
The Irish Girls Aloud star, who lives in LA, said she loved Cheryl's new song and dismissed reports she had not bothered to see her when she was in the States recording her album, '3 Words'.
According to The Mirror, Coyle said: "There were all these crazy reports saying I had snubbed her - but we met up and had a great laugh."
She added: "It isn't like I go out of the way not to be at anything the girls are doing.
"If I was still in London I'd be out with them far more often. When we are touring we spend every second together and go out lots, so we make the most of it when we can."
The Derry-born singer said she was gutted to have missed Cheryl's X Factor performance: "I was really upset to have missed it but as soon as she had finished the performance I watched it on the internet and called her up to congratulate her. I really love 'Fight For This Love' - it's really catchy."
Coyle, 25, who releases her first solo album in the spring, was also quick to dismiss rumours she saw Cole's solo career as competition to her own: "I don't see it that way at all. It's not about me versus Cheryl."
The singer, who is dating American Footballer Jason Bell, 33, said that she also backed her band-mate to land a role on a future US version of 'X Factor'.
She said: "American X Factor would be the biggest show on TV so it would be the ultimate TV gig to get. I don't think she would make a permanent move to the States though because Ashley has his football career."
However despite Coyle's warm words about Cole she revealed her best friend in Girls Aloud was Sarah Harding: "I get on with all the girls but I probably click most with Sarah.
"That's strange because we are completely different people, but we just really hit it off. I chat to her a lot and enjoy her company. I'm probably closest to her."
