girls aloudGirls Aloud have surprised organisers of the V Festival this weekend by each ordering fattening food for their dressing rooms.

The five women, known for their tiny physiques, are said to have each picked a range of food to feast on ahead of their headline slot. Cheryl Cole is said to have picked soul food - fried chicken and sweet potato mash; Nicola Roberts, McDonalds burgers, fries and milkshakes; Kimberley Walsh, a Tex-Mex platter including drumsticks, nachos and fajitas; Sarah Harding, Philly cheese steak sandwiches, chips and Haribo sweets; and Nadine Coyle wants to sate her sweet tooth with red devil sponge cakes, inspired by the celebrity-favourite Sprinkles bakery in Los Angeles.

The women have also requested pink champagne and Vitamin Water to wash down their food.

An inside source told the Mirror: “It’s the most colourful rider we’ve received in years.

“It certainly beats the usual crisps and beer riders from other bands.

“If the girls are keen to fill out their figures, this will have them piling on the pounds in no time.”
