14 DAY TRIAL // Recent pictures of Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud, taken outside her apartment in London and showing she’s the closest thing to a size 0, have sparked fresh concerns with her friends, Digital Spy writes. The singer’s weight has always oscillated ever since she broke into the spotlight, but it’s now that it’s reached a worrying point.
The photos show Nadine in a black mini skirt, loose top and white blazer, as she loses one of her shoes as she descends the stairs. Though she’s dressed in a way that some fashion critics would deem flattering for any body type, it’s clear that there is little – to none – fat on her body as her bones are visible. Her long legs and arms, together with her entire frame, have truly gotten friends and family worried sick.
“Nadine’s weight has always been up and down. She is no stranger to being anything from a size six or a size ten. However, a lot of people are worried she is working too hard and her weight is suffering as a result. It is the thinnest any of us can recall her being. Nadine has always been seen as the strongest vocal talent of Girls Aloud and following Cheryl’s success leaves an enormous expectation upon her shoulders. Perhaps that weight of expectation is taking its toll. She used to have a womanly figure that was gorgeous. Now she looks like she’s ill,” an unnamed source tells the British media, as cited by Digital Spy.
Reportedly, Nadine is under a lot of pressure as she’s working on her solo debut, especially since she expects her work to be pitted against that of Cheryl Cole and the success her first solo album had. To look her best, Coyle went on a strict diet and an even stricter workout routine and the result is now painfully visible, since she’s lost the curves she was once so proud of having.
“I’d hate to be a size zero. I like to look like a woman, with things up front and at the back. My weight fluctuates by half a stone. I’m a (British) size 6-8. I don’t like being too skinny. But I’ve always been really thin and I’ve been doing exercises that build up my muscle,” Coyle was saying in an older interview. Also then, she complained her legs were always too skinny no matter how much she weighed.
Contacted for comment, a spokesperson for the singer insists everything is fine with her and that she’s in the best shape, mentally and physically, she’s ever been.
