Nadine Coyle has acknowledged that the 20-year-old Popstars scandal in which she lied about her age and said she didn’t know where her passport was – claiming a fan threw their passport at her only last week – continues to make her laugh.
The Girls Aloud actress rose to popularity on the reality program Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, but she had an ill-fated brush with stardom on the Irish version of the show before starring on the ITV show where she met her bandmates.
With her song ‘Why Me?,’ the Belfast-born Eurovision winner won the competition in 1992 and went on to have a great career in television and theatre.
Linda was on the judging panel for Popstars in 2001, alongside Louis Walsh and Bill Hughes, when Nadine’s passport situation occurred.
Nadine Coyle Caught Lying About Her Age On Passport: The Date Of Birth Scandal
Nadine Coyle pretended to look for her “missing” passport to prove her age, even calling home to have her mother look for it, before finally admitting she had lied.
“I did a show in Belfast last week, and you know how people throw stuff on stage, I’ve been thrown an actual passport!” the singer, now 36, said she still couldn’t get over it 20 years later, telling Metro: “I did a show in Belfast last week, and you know how people throw stuff on stage, I’ve been thrown an actual passport!”
“It’s their real passport!” And you’re thinking to yourself, “This is someone’s real passport.” Nor a make-believe one, not one built only for the night.”
She originally participated in the Irish version of Popstars in 2001 as a 16-year-old yearning for stardom, but was ejected off the program following a now-infamous moment.
She introduced herself on camera and stated her true date of birth, having lied to producers that she was 18 to meet the series’ age restriction.
Furthermore, she also claimed that she made the hair and make-up staff laugh out loud at a recent picture shoot when she requested an image with a basic backdrop so she could use it to renew her passport, claiming that they wouldn’t take her seriously.
Louis Walsh, who judged both the Irish and ITV programs, invited Coyle back to audition for Popstars: The Rivals, where she became a megastar with Girls Aloud, whereas the group Six, from whom she was ejected, disbanded not long after their first triumph.
“I still can’t even say the word passport without it turning into a full mess,” she continued.
