POP beauty Nadine Coyle’s solo career has been plunged into crisis by a series of crippling budget cuts.

Nadine Coyle, 24, was desperate to launch her first album this summer in a bid to rival Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole.

But the US-based starlet – who yesterday denied claims that she is at personal loggerheads with Cheryl – has been left fuming after her £900,000 budget was slashed to £200,000.

Sources say investors are reluctant to back her when she is not a cast-iron chart certainty.

A source close to the star revealed: “There had been plans for a huge production and spectacular £300,000 video. To rival Cheryl she knows she needs something pretty amazing but her big ambitions have been ruined."

“There will still be an album but Nadine could be forced to invest money of her own.”

Aww thats a shame.

Hope it goes ok for her!

[Billy]

GOOD.

Can't stand her!

[Callum]

Poor Nadine!

[Lewis.]

That must feel horrible for her. And woah... 300 thousand pounds for a video.. you could buy my house and more with that!

She has a good voice but that aint enough. To be a big female star you need popularity, personality and charisma. And great songs.

She has none of these! Plus the market is overcrowded with female artists right now.

tbh, its right for them to do it, its unlikely that she'll reach the same level of sucess as Cheryl. So why waste the money, but if the first album goes as well as Cheryls, I dont see why not invest loads for the 2nd.

Better singer then Cheryl.

[CaraRawr]

I feel really sorry for her, that must suck!

[Jack_]

Bad times.

But in all seriousness, just get Girls Aloud back to the studio plz.

[Ross]

Good. Cheryl

[Tom4784]

I could see her bombing anyway.

[King Gizzard]

only 24!?

[WOMBAI]

At least she can sing - which is more than Cheryl can!

[Tom]

i think its hilarious that the most talented in Girls Aloud is screwed when they split up

[KKBL]

I doubt this is true.

[Jords]

Poor Nadine, she is a much better singer than Cheryl and deserves it more!

[M X]

don't Girls Aloud have an album out this year, though?
