Panicked Nadine Coyle is forced to step in to cover Cheryl as she is unable to ... trends now
Nadine Coyle and Cheryl Cole shared a sweet moment during their latest Girls Aloud performance when the Geordie singer was unable to sing her line.
Irish singer Nadine, 38, looked panicked as Cheryl, 40, tried to signal on stage that she needed to cover her next part during their Belfast SSE Arena show on Monday.
During the chorus of their iconic hit The Promise, Cheryl gently taps Nadine on the elbow who then pulls a face and nods that she will sing the line.
She then belts out: 'If you wanna forgive me start again, if you wanna be with me in my arms...'
Fans speculated that Cheryl was perhaps not feeling well although it seems more likely that there was something not quite right with her microphone.

MailOnline has contacted Girls Aloud's representatives for more information.

The sweet moment was a poignant one because the ladies had a very public feud back in the day but it seems they have well and truly moved on.
Ten years ago, they performed the final gig of their 2013 comeback tour at Liverpool's Echo Arena.
At the time, it was thought the decision was mutual but Nadine claimed she was 'blindsided' by the decision to break up and accused the others of 'plotting' behind her back.
She claimed she was only told just minutes before gong out on stage for the final performance of the Ten: The Hits Tour and none of the other girls had 'breathed a word'.
She told The Mirror in 2014: 'I didn’t want the band to end, it was as simple as that. I didn’t think we were going to end – we had done all the promo saying we were all together, having a great tour, wearing Victoria’s Secret wings and stomping up and down the catwalk every night, loving every single minute of it.
'And then, on the very last night of the tour, our management and publicist came up to me and said the girls wanted to split up the band. I was thinking, "What?!" I was in hair and make-up, about to get into my costume, and the show was starting in 20 minutes.
During the moment, Nadine nodded at Cheryl to confirm she would sing for her before grimacing nervously but she pulled the moment off
Nadine looked nervous that she might forget the words before belting out: 'If you wanna forgive me, start again, if you wanna be with me in my arms...'

Nadine claimed she was 'blindsided' by the band's decision to break up in 2013 and accused the others of 'plotting' behind her back but Cheryl later said she was 'full of s***'
'I was shocked. I went back to my make-up lady and told her, and was like, "F***! I don’t have a job! What am I going to do?" I screamed and cried on stage and off stage.'
Cheryl later hit back, telling Attitude magazine that Nadine was 'full of s***'.
She said: 'She was the one who wanted to make a solo record. Which is why we took the hiatus. She wants to come out and say we broke the band up? No! She shouldn’t tell porkie pies.
'Okay, so do you want us to tell the truth? She wasn’t going to make another Girls Aloud record until she got a solo deal.
'I feel she held us to ransom and then made her solo record deal. It’s the truth. She’s saying that we broke the band up. So there you go.'
Now all has been resolved, the band returned to the stage for the first time in 11 years for the first night of their reunion tour in Dublin on Friday following the death of the late Sarah Harding.
Original band member Sarah died aged 39 from breast cancer in 2021.
The stars formed the iconic girl band in 2002 after winning Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 and reunited with new music for their 10th anniversary in 2012. A second reunion for their 20th anniversary was planned but came as Sarah received her diagnosis.
Nadine and Cheryl previously supported one another performing this song on stage before as during the tour's opening night.
They supportively held hands after a heartbreaking Sarah tribute was shown during their reunion concert.
The girl group's opening night had their late bandmate at its centre with a rendition of The Promise which featured Sarah's vocals as she was shown in old footage singing on the screen.
Nadine, Cheryl, Kimberley and Nicola turned around for the tribute to watch Sarah on the screen, with their backs to the audience.
Then then turned around after Sarah's vocals on part of the song had finished as they carried on with the next part of the tune.
They then briefly held hands during the tough moment and Nicola continued with her part of the song.
Elsewhere the band made other sweet nods to Sarah including with their hit I'll Stand By You set to a video of Sarah and her vocals, leaving fans in tears.
Before the ballad began, Nadine told the crowd: 'We're going to do a duet with Sarah tonight. It's going to be us, Sarah, you. Lets do this together.'
Sarah's vocals then began to play as her four bandmates sang live on stage alongside their late friend.
Keeping Sarah as the focus from the start until the end of the performance, the show began with hit Untouchable which was set against a backdrop of footage of Sarah displayed on pink curtains.
Later they performed Whole Lotta History, which was also dedicated to the late star.
Nicola reflected: 'When we recorded
