GIRLS ALOUD - GIRLS ALOUD STAR'S FAMILY SURPRISED AT METCALFE REHAB ENTRY

GIRLS ALOUD star NADINE COYLE's family had no idea her boyfriend JESSE METCALFE had a drinking problem, according to the singer's father. Northern Irish NIALL COYLE admits he was amazed when the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES actor checked himself into a Los Angeles rehab facility to treat alcohol abuse. He says, "Nadine is in total shock. "We saw Jesse regularly when we were in the US, and we often thought he drank less than us. Maybe he was trying to hide the fact that he had a problem from the people he cares about. "She is devastated this has happened and blames herself. "They are staying together. She has been on the phone to Jesse for hours every day since he went into rehab to try and give him support. She will be there for him while he goes through the programme and will be there when he comes out."
