Message from Nicola: Me and Henry Holland are doing a shoot together today. He read the lyrics to ‘Untouchable’ out like it came from the bible for his sisters wedding! I love it x

Nicola Roberts is gorgeous, stylish and talented, but she admits that some people can misread her shyness.
Girls Aloud starlet Nicola Roberts talks to OK! about her excitement over her new project and how her shyness can be misinterpreted by others.

The fair beauty has just launched her own makeup range Dainty Doll which she is ’100 per cent over the moon’ with and reveals her confidence is growing.

She said: “I can be very shy. If I don’t feel comfortable, I might come across as miserable. I don’t want to put my foot in it. I am getting better and feel more confident.”

The red headed beauty also thinks that her shrewd businesswoman approach may be unintentionally judged as a bad attitude.

She said: “That’s one of my downfalls. It can get me into trouble sometimes. But I would rather that that people think, she’s dancing around being fake. I’d rather people knew that what they see is what they get.”

Dainty Doll by Nicola Roberts is available now from Harrods

Message from Nicola: I’m back home visiting family for the long weekend-what’s everyone up to?

Here is the behind the scenes video of the Fabulous magazine photoshoot. Also linked you to the full magazine scans which are thanks to NicolaRobertsUK

Wearing the obligatory oversized shades, Nicola Roberts breezes into our shoot a super-starry hour and a half late.Muttering something about a delayed doctor’s appointment, she air-kisses her way round the Hollywood-esque entourage who have been waiting patiently for her arrival.

In the past, she was always very much the fifth member of Girls Aloud – the baby of the group, the reluctant star, often painted as the shy, slightly sulky redhead. But today Nicola is a confident, tough-talking sex kitten and fast becoming a style icon.

The low self-esteem that once tormented her has been banished and a gutsy young woman is starting to emerge.

“I was so insecure, but you’ve got to accept who you are,” she says.

And it’s clear she has. Gone is the fake tan Nicola once slathered herself in to compete with her bandmates. Gone too are the golden highlights she used to disguise the red hair that made her the butt of so many cruel taunts.

It’s taken time, but she has finally embraced her looks. And so have others.

Now, Nicola, 24, is regularly spotted in prime position on the coveted front row at top fashion shows, has designers queuing up to dress her and, after 18 months of hard work, has just fully launched her own brand of make-up – Dainty Doll – designed especially for girls with pale skin.

Here is this week’s ‘Kimberley Walsh edit’ of Suck My Pop. All the Kimberley bits in one handy clip! Kimberley interviews Nicola Roberts in this episode!

Big thanks to snoop for making the edit available.
