Nadine: Girl was with me

- By Mark Jefferies

NADINE Coyle has revealed she missed her little girl so much in the TV jungle, she imagined her being alongside her in camp – and even spoke to her, as if she was there.

Girls Aloud singer Nadine, 34, had a very emotional reunion with five-year-old Anaiya after she was voted out on Friday night.

She said: “I had more than a lump in my throat. I couldn’t wait to see her. It’s been a month. The longest before this was 10 days.

“Mummy guilt is a real thing – but you have to balance that with going to work.”

Anaiya is her daughter with ex-fiance Jason Bell. She said: “I kept seeing her walking around in the jungle. Anytime I was struggling, I just kept picturing her walking towards the bathroom and back.

“And then I was like, what would I say if Anaiya was here? I would say, ‘You can go to the bathroom, just kick the door, chase the things out it will be fine’. And that would make me feel better.”

She plans to party for a few days.

“I think I should do some sort of drinking competitio­n right now,” she says. “I really think I could just be like, ‘James Haskell, let’s have a drinking competitio­n’ – and

I’ll win.”

Nadine and Myles Stephenson, 28, are single but there was no romance.

She said: “It is not the kind of place you want to meet somebody and hook up.

“Everybody is disgusting and gross. After trials, your clothes are not washed or you wash them under that waterfall. But you just can’t get that cockroach stench out.”
