Nadine Coyle's bandmates were left horrified after finding out a Hollywood star has a naked image of her tattooed on him.
The singer who recently reunited with her Girls Aloud bandmates for their 21st anniversary has never shied away when it comes to discussing certain aspects of her life and this is no different. While Nadine has remained largely quiet about her love life since splitting from her long-term beau Jason Bell, it appears one ex is on her mind.
Nadine, 38, who moved to Los Angeles at the height of Girls Aloud's fame previously dated Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe and it appears she left a lasting impression on the 44-year-old. In a new interview, the Derry-born chart-topper has opened up about the inking he dedicated to her.

During their romance, he had no idea that she was one-fifth of the UK's biggest girlband of the century, famed for hits including The Promise and Untouchable.
"He was obsessed with me, completely obsessed. He's got a tattoo of me on his arm, the obsession continues," she told Gay Times. While her bandmate Cheryl Tweedy had no idea about this, Kimberley Walsh admitted she recalled the romantic gesture.

Coyle continued: And he had it done on a TV show, one of these tattoo shows. He took a picture and I was like, 'This is really creepy' because I was like, 'Do you realise that I was 17 in that picture you had tattooed?'" She went on to add that the tattoo was "still there," adding: "It's my breasts, it's my waist, it's my face."
Jesse has previously spoken about the tattoo which he got during an episode of LA Ink. He said: "I had the idea of a female angel lassoing a human heart to my heart. It's not that I’m not over the break-up, it's just that I really wanted to remember what it felt like to be in that relationship so that I never really go there again."
But while he and Nadine may no longer be together, the actor states that it's his "favourite" tattoo and he would never have it removed or covered up. Speaking about their relationship during her time on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Nadine said of Jesse: "My second boyfriend was an actor and I'd fancied him from TV. I used to think he is so gorgeous and I was doing an interview and it was one of those 'Who do you fancy?' things and I said the gardener from Desperate Housewives."
When asked if she meant Jesse, whom she met during a Girls Aloud tour of Australia in 2006, she revealed: "Yes, I met him out we had a great night, it was just like everything was right. He came over to me and I thought, 'Woo you smell amazing'. I went out to the bathroom and he came behind me and pulled me back and said 'You are going into the men's. It wasn't, it was the ladies but he said he just wanted to say something to me."
She described him as "really passionate and fun."
