Nadine Coyle, former Girls Aloud member and forever known to us as the girl who dodged a bullet by not getting into Six, has announced that she is expecting her first child.

Nadine took to Instagram this morning to share the news with a simple snapshot of her on stage and the words 'I am having a baby. Xx'.

Coyle had spent the previous night on Twitter telling fans about how she was having 'the most craic ever' and that she had something to tell her fans.

Nadine will be the first former Alouder to have a baby, after the group officially split following their ten year anniversary tour earlier this year. She hasn't given any more information than that, but rumours suggest that American footballer Jason Bell is the father. Coyle and Bell dated for three years and were engaged until 2011 and they have recently been pictured together, with people saying they have rekindled their romance.

Congrats Nadine! You'll always be a sixteen-year-old confused about dates and lying about your passport to us.
