Sometimes we wonder if Girls Aloud even know the basic rules of pop – you certainly wouldn’t know it to look at them.

If they followed the rules, then Girls Aloud would have split up three years ago, with one of them having a marginally successful solo career, three of them ending up as reality TV show fodder and the fifth one disappearing from sight and porking out a bit. The rules suggest that this would be the ginger one.

But, hey, better late than never – turns out that everyone in Girls Aloud hates Nadine so much that they might be splitting up.
