Despite apparent confirmations from one of her bandmates, Nadine Coyle insists she’s not got back together with ex-boyfriend Jesse Metcalfe.

The Girls Aloud star told the Sun despite pictures showing them in a clinch at a petrol station just a few weeks ago, “Jesse and I aren’t back together.”

“I hadn’t seen him in ages when those pictures of us were taken.”

“I was out in LA for three weeks because my sister is getting married out there and we had lots to sort out. Jesse and I were still speaking on the phone though and we arranged to meet up for lunch.”

“Those pictures of us kissing was just me saying goodbye. We’re exes so we are still close and we were just being sweet. But we are not back together.”

“I haven’t really contemplated getting back together with him. He’s gorgeous and charming and beautiful but I’m always all over the place so it’s hard to have a relationship.”

“Also he’s that bit older than me - he’s 29 and I’m 21 so we want different things. We always got on really, really well and I loved him a lot, but it just became difficult to stay together.”

“I would never say never, because he is a really good guy, but it’s not something I can really think about at the minute.”

She added: “I have been on a few [dates] since splitting with Jesse. I dated an Israeli guy and some Americans but I’m single at the moment and I’m happy with that.”

“The great thing about being in LA is that no one knows me for being in a pop band. I have a totally different lifestyle there - I can get away with murder and no one finds out about it!”

“I’m not really the goody-two-shoes of Girls Aloud! I go out in LA and I don’t get photographed so I get away with it.”
