Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts have had to deny rumours they've formed a WhatsApp group in an attempt to conjure up a plan to get fans to vote for their Girls Aloud bandmate Nadine Coyle to do the I'm A Celebrity Bushtucker trials.

The three women have taken a rare step in publishing at statement to the MailOnline to shut down the rumours before they get out of hand.

In the statement, Cheryl confirmed there was no truth in the rumours, adding, "We only want to see Nadine do well, and regardless of any differences we might have had, we will always have love for each other.

"We did not enjoy watching her distressed when jumping out of the plane. And we don't have time for group chats regarding the trials of the show!"

Kimberley, who previously admitted she had "no idea" why Nadine had signed up to the reality show, echoed Cheryl's comments, confessing, "I felt really emotional watching Nadine jump out of the plane and texted Cheryl saying how hard it was to watch. I think she's doing great in there."

Former footballer and Match of the Day pundit Ian Wright is heading into the jungle. Ian Wright is rumoured to be earning the second-highest wage of £400,000 while in the jungle. But during an appearance at the Royal Concert hall in Nottingham last week, Harry Redknapp, last year's King of the Jungle, revealed Wright would be earning one million as someone tweeted: "Just got home from seeing @Redknapp in Nottingham. Interestingly, he let slip that Ian Wright has been paid £1m to appear on this year's #ImaCeleb."

Nicola said similar remarks to her bandmates, concluding, "We don't have a group chat about I'm A Celebrity, this just isn't true. We only wish Nadine the best in the jungle and hope she does well on the show."

It comes after The Sun claimed the trio were "voting repeatedly" for Nadine, in an attempt to make her get the most votes for the eating trials.

A source told the publication, "The girls have been watching the series and keeping up with what's been happening."

"They've wanted to see what Nadine has been doing and saying about them.

"They have a group chat and thought it would be funny to vote for Nadine to do the Bushtucker trials. It's all a bit of a laugh."

A spokesperson for the women has also vehemently denied the claims, telling the MailOnline, "This story is completely fabrication and made up.

"Cheryl, Nicola and Kimberley have not been "plotting" to get Nadine to do trials in I'm A Celebrity. To suggest they have been is quite frankly ridiculous."
