Fashion designer Henry Holland has spoken out “When I was working for Smash Hits as the stylist, Girls Aloud came in for a front cover shoot and they wouldn’t allow me to dress them. They wouldn’t let me go near them and had other people come in with them instead who could style them. I remember Nicola didn’t say a word to me. We would see each other at parties and she would just be so quiet. She was quiet for a long time but it’s so funny because now we talk all the time and we are actually good friends. I remind her all the time of how she wouldn’t speak to me even though she knew me, and we laugh about it.”
