Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has defended her actor ex  Jesse Metcalfe , insisting reports he cheated on her with a mystery brunette are wildly inaccurate.

Coyle 21, was said to have ended her 14-month relationship with Metcalfe, the Desperate Housewives star in April after photographs emerged of Metcalfe holding hands with another woman.

But Coyle insists Metcalfe did not betray her and the romance failed because of the pressure of their long-distance relationship and hectic work schedules.

Coyle says, “I had gone to LA when he was in rehab and it was just too hard to keep the relationship going. We broke up then and I just said to him, ‘You sort yourself out and I’ll do my thing then we’ll see what happens after that.’
