The Girls Aloud singer is famed for her tiny frame but she insists no matter how much she eats she can’t pile on the pounds and is often envious of bandmate Kimberley Walsh’s curvy figure.
She said: "I’d say to Kimberley that I wish I could put weight on. I look at her curves and I’m there stuffing my face but it just doesn’t work. I used to be a dancer so I have muscle memory, I can literally carry bags of food shopping and my arms go muscle. I can’t bear it. I want them to be smoother and more womanly."
However, Nicola is also happy with what she is now, and has learnt to accept what God has naturally blessed her with.
