IRISH legends Westlife are flying the flag for their north-of-the-border pop pal Nadine Coyle.
The lads reckon the Derry diva has been cruelly treated after her debut solo album Insatiable flopped.
And they also reckon Nadine, 25, has been bullied into a war with bandmate Cheryl Cole, 27.
’Loife member Mark Feehily, 30, told me: “I’m supporting Nadine. She lives in LA now but I know her from years ago and we still keep in touch.
“She’s an immensely talented girl and drop-dead gorgeous but Cheryl is the nation’s sweetheart so anyone who gets compared to her is going to come off worse.”
He added: “I think Nadine just needs to keep her head down and carry on doing what she’s doing.
“I don’t like it when I feel people are being ganged up on. It’s like a schoolground mentality.
“People want to read Girls Aloud are killing each other but it’s only the five girls in the band who really know what’s going on.”
