Cheryl makes fun of Nadine Coyle's famous gaffe at packed Belfast gig

It may be over twenty years since Nadine Coyle appeared on Popstars but it looks like her Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl will never let her forget her infamous passport gaffe!

It has been 11 years since the band performed together and they kicked off their reunion tour in Dublin last week before travelling on to Belfast.

As they touched down in the North, Cheryl couldn't help but bring up the past and poke fun at Nadine.

Footage captured by fans shows how Cheryl told the audience: 'We had to come to Ireland anyway... You know why? To make sure Nadine remembered her passport!'

For those who didn't watch Popstars, Nadine, who had originally auditioned for the band Six in Ireland, lied about her age. She gave the wrong date of birth when asked by production.

When questioned, the teenager at the time had a lot of trouble remembering what year she was born. Producers asked for her passport as proof and after frantic searching, she told them she had 'forgotten' it.

To make it into the band, all members had to be 18. Eventually, the truth came out that the singer had lied about her age and Nadine was sent home.

Refusing to give up on her dream, Nadine went on to take part in the show Popstars: The Rivals, which formed Girls Aloud.

The band made history, selling over 4.3million singles and four million albums in the UK, after releasing hit songs such as Love Machine, No Good Advice, and Jump, to name just a few.

Six band group where are they now

The band Six that Nadine nearly made it into had one massive hit and then faded away.

As they say 'what is for you won't pass you by' and for Nadine it looks like fame was written in the stars for her. However, it looks like when it comes to her age, the girls will always be there to remind her, just in case she forgets again.
