POP Babe Nadine Coyle was bursting with emotion as she celebrated her 25th birthday in LA.

The Girls Aloud star, dressed in a little black dress, laughed and joked with family in her Irish bar in Huntington as she celebrated her birthday on Thursday night. The bash was organised by her dad Niall and was a rare night out for the singer.

She is currently holed up in a recording studio just outside of sunny Venice Beach and is putting the finishing touches to her debut solo album. She plans to release her debut single this December and has penned a track with Robbie Williams hit machine Guy Chambers.

But on Thursday night it was cake and candles for the star who downed drinks and danced the night away with her family.

“I had a great time at my birthday party last night,” said the Derry songbird. “I want to thank all my friends for coming down. “Birthdays always make me emotional.”

Nadine’s hunky boyfriend American football player Jason Bell missed the party. The burly ball player phoned the leggy brunnette to wish her a Happy Birthday.

“It was a great night and a really Irish party”, said a pal. “Nadine had all her family and friends and it was just a good old Irish knees up. “They even had a special cake made for her and turned the lights down in the entire bar when they brought it out.

“Jason wasn’t there but they chatted on the phone and will have their own celebrations later this week.”
