nicola robertsGirls Aloud star Nicola Roberts has said she’s loving being on tour this time around because it gives her life routine.

She told Hello! magazine recently: “I’d been looking forward to it so much this year. I love everything about being on tour. It’s one of the few times that we have a proper routine.

“Usually every day’s different - we’re doing a photo shoot, or a TV appearance and your timings are all over the place.

“[But] when we’re on tour, we get up at around midday, because we get to bed really late, then we’re on the tour bus for 1pm, we arrive at the venue - and somehow we manage to spend the next eight hours getting ready!”

The women’s Tangled Up Tour started in Belfast on 3rd May and will finish, 24 arena shows later, at the start of next month. They are also set to play at ten open air events over the summer.

Cheryl Cole’s husband Ashley Cole is said to be planning to attend the women’s gigs at the O2 venue in London this weekend - the couple’s first public appearance together since Ashley was accused of infidelity in January.

A source told the Mirror that he hopes his attendance will be another small step towards repairing their relationship: “It’s a big gesture … it won’t be long before she puts her wedding ring back on.”
