nicola robertsDJ Chris Moyles has called Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts a “sour-faced old cow” and attacked her appearance during a rant on his radio show.

Speaking on his BBC Radio One show this morning, he said: “Nicola is not the most striking one out of Girls Aloud, unless by striking, you mean ginger.

“It’s nothing to do with her hair or the way her face or body is, it’s that the sour-faced old cow never smiles - ever.

“She always looks peed off, like she doesn’t want to be in the band.

“Someone should show her the Girls Aloud bank account because if she worked at Tesco’s - and it would take a few years to build up to that level for her - she wouldn’t be making the money she’s making now.

“She’s got a great life flying all over the world yet her face looks like she works at Netto.”

Earlier this year, Nicola admitted she suffered from self-esteem problems for a long time because of media criticism - including previous comments by Moyles - about her fair skin and red hair: “For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud.

“It was weird. I joined this band because my life was all about singing. Then Girls Aloud became successful, and suddenly it wasn’t just about being able to sing any more. It turned into a beauty contest.

“People on radio and television started making nasty comments about me and I felt awful. Turning from a teenager into a woman is hard enough without dealing with snide comments.

“[But now] I’m quite a strong person.”
