Nadine Coyle claimed she was not in The Masked Singer, despite judges Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross believing she was Queen Bee.
The singer, 34, discussed ITV’s hottest new show during an appearance on Friday’s This Morning, where she also revealed her daughter Anaíya didn’t approve of her going into the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
Denying she was on the reality competition show, she told Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: ‘It’s not me in The Masked Singer.

‘We were watching it on the TV and Anaíya was there as well, and then Jonathan and Davina said “Nadine Coyle”, and Anaíya turned to me and asked “is it?” and I’m just sitting there in my pyjamas watching TV going “this is so weird.”
When Ruth said that Nadine wouldn’t have been able to tell them if she was on the show even if she wanted to, the Girls Aloud singer quipped: ‘No I would not that’s very true, but its not me.’
Nadine went on to discuss her time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Outta Here, as she explained the awkward moment her daughter refused to let her go on the show, two days before it was set to begin.
Not her: Of the reality competition show, she said: ‘Jonathan and Davina said “Nadine Coyle”, and Anaíya turned to me and asked “is it?” and I’m just sitting there in my pyjamas’
Definitely not: When Ruth Langsford she wouldn’t tell them if she was on the show even if she wanted to, the Girls Aloud singer quipped: ‘No I would not that’s very true, but its not me’
‘I didn’t run it by my five year old until I did it, until a few days before I went there,’ she explained in amusement. ‘I told her that I was going, and she said “absolutely not you’re not going to do those challenges.”‘
‘But I couldn’t exactly tell ITV two days before I had to go that I couldn’t do it, but because they were all coming to Australia I said you’ll go to the pool and learn to swim with papa.’
She said Anaíya was finally convinced it was a good idea when she and Caitlyn Jenner did a sky dive, as she detailed: ‘Now she’s practising her skydiving she’s like “mummy catch me.”‘

Amusing: ‘I told her that I was going, and she said “absolutely not you’re not going to do those challenges,”‘ Nadine explained in amusement
Nadine was also on hand to promote her new single All The I Know, which was released on Friday, and she said of her fear of releasing new music: ‘Every release time is the same, the panic, the shortness of breath, then you look at your phone and people are supporting it.
‘It’s shot up on iTunes, it was trending last night,’ she gushed.
Eamonn, wondering if her music was inspired by her recent break-up from ex Jason Bell, asked if she was doing well, and Nadine said: ‘Things are working out good.
‘You have this image when you’re a child of I’ll be married at 25, we’ll travel the world for a few years, then we’ll have kids, then I’ll retire and make jams. But life isn’t like that, but that’s okay we just get through.’
Comeback: Nadine also promoted her new single All The I Know, which was released on Friday, and she expressed her delight that the song had ‘shot up the charts’
Candid: Eamonn wondered if her song was inspired by her break-up from ex Jason Bell (pictured in 2018) last year, and how she was, and Nadine said: ‘Things are working out good’
The former couple separated last year when they realised the spark had gone from their relationship.
The couple first crossed paths when Nadine was working in the U.S. in 2008, and Jason asked her to marry him in 2010 before splitting for the first time a year later.
Nadine and Jason soon rekindled their relationship and he asked her to marry him again in 2014, just months before welcoming their daughter Anaiya.
