Coyle angry at missing meeting with fans

Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle is furious her management refused to let her greet fans after a charity gig in her hometown of Letterkenny in the North on Friday.

The Love Machine hitmaker, who had appeared with her bandmates in aid of terminally ill children at the plush Clanree Hotel, reportedly fought with pop bosses for an hour for the chance to spend just five minutes with fans, who had been waiting in the rain for a chance to speak to her.

Coyle, who is dating Desperate Housewives actor Jessie Metcalfe, was already thought to be fuming at the group's increasingly hectic schedules, but Friday's incident was the last straw.

A source close to the band said: "The management has been utterly out of line about this."
