NADINE COYLE - COYLE BLAMES METCALFE'S JEALOUSY FOR SPLIT

LATEST: Girls Aloud singer NADINE COYLE has dismissed reports she ended her romance with actor JESSE METCALFE after he was photographed with a mystery brunette last week (20Apr07), insisting she dumped him because he was jealous of her success. The Desperate Housewives star, who has just finished a month-long stint in rehab for "alcohol issues", was photographed holding hands and cuddling a young woman at popular Los Angeles cafe Toast. LA-based Metcalfe and Northern Irish pop star Coyle have been conducting a long-distance relationship since meeting in Australia in February 2006. But a source tells British newspaper the News of the World, "Nadine dumped Jesse because he's a complete control freak. "She was fed up of his jealous rages and after thinking long and hard decided to get rid of him... He would cause huge rows."
