Girls Aloud start their reunion tour of Great Britain and Ireland in Dublin on Friday evening.
And Nicola Roberts, 38, took to TikTok to share with fans a hilarious video of herself practicing the pop group’s songs ahead of their performance.
The comedy video showed Nicola coyly using her phone around her bandmates Nadine Coyle, 38, Kimberley Walsh, 42, and Cheryl, 40.
Nicola captioned the hilarious video: ‘POV: When you haven’t sung a song in ten years and your tour starts on Friday.’
During the video, Nicola claimed she was ‘texting her sister’, when in reality she was looking at the lyrics to Love Machine without her bandmates knowing.

However, the camera then hilariously panned to her phone and showed the lyrics to Love Machine.
It comes after Girls Aloud surprised fans with a new release ahead of their reunion tour.
The group chose to unveil a new megamix of their biggest hits to mark their first night on tour.
Titled, The Whole Damn Show Megamix, it’s a brand new mix of 27 iconic Girls Aloud hits and fan favorites, mixed by The Alias and featuring the late Sarah Harding.
The megamix is available to stream now and will be released on August 2 as a limited 12” ultra-clear vinyl – available to pre-order now.
While the girls were excited to perform their hits for fans again, Kimberley confessed their rehearsals had been ’emotional’ as it is believed the set will include a tribute to Sarah Harding who died from breast cancer in 2021.
Kimberley shared photos of the preparations on Friday, writing: ‘Well that’s it. Production rehearsals are done in Dublin, here we come!

Cheryl got into the spirit of the reunion tour as she took part in the entertaining video in which Nicola pretended to text her sister while actually trying to memorize the lyrics.
The camera panned to Nicola’s phone and showed the lyrics to Love Machine
‘I love you all. Our team of boys dancing with us is absolutely incredible and I can’t wait for you to see them in action!’
She added to creative director Beth Honan: “You are a legend and a true superhero, what a privilege to be here 20 years later doing what we love. Thank you to our entire team who helped put this show together and supported us. I appreciate you all! Let’s do this!’
Reports have suggested they could end their set with I’ll Stand By You, in tribute to Sarah, along with footage on screens.
Nicola also shared some rehearsal snaps and promised an ‘amazing’ show for the fans.
She wrote: ‘That’s it! Rehearsals and production are over. We’ve been working every hour to make the show great for you. I honestly had the best five weeks with the girls.’
She also thanked their creative director and vocal arranger, adding, “The best team bringing the best energy. So proud of everyone. One more sleep!’
Meanwhile, Nadine posted online: ‘I am full of gratitude and admiration for our entire team!!!! Thanks everyone so far!!! Now the real fun begins!’
It comes after Girls Aloud surprised fans with a new release ahead of their reunion tour
The band – consisting of Cheryl, Nadine, Nicola and Kimberley – will kick off their UK and Ireland tour this weekend, much to the delight of fans.
It comes after the team working with Girls Aloud on the upcoming reunion tour are reportedly concerned it could all ‘end in disaster’ if the band clashes again.
The girl band fell out after splitting in 2013, publicly disagreeing over when and the reasons why they decided to announce a hiatus.
Following the tragic loss of their bandmate Sarah, at the age of 39, in 2021, the band put their past issues behind them to reform in memory of the late singer.
However, despite their enthusiastic attitude towards reuniting for a 30-date tour, insiders are said to be concerned that tensions will ease as the pressure of a tour increases.
The four women were all pictured arriving at rehearsals for the first time last week looking somewhat solemn.

Shortly before Kimberley revealed, their rehearsals had been ’emotional’ as it is believed the set will include a tribute to late bandmate Sarah Harding, who passed away in 2021.
Kimberley wrote: ‘We had the BEST time making this show for you and it was incredibly emotional to be with my girls again’ (sic)

A source said The sun: ‘It’s no secret that Cheryl and Nadine used to have a fraught relationship and professional rivalry – they couldn’t even see eye to eye when Girls Aloud split – so now they’re on their best behavior with the reunion.
‘But behind the scenes, many of the team are worried that they will clash again. They both look back and can see that they were both to blame, they have both matured a lot – and because of the professional and personal life challenges they have faced since the band, they no longer have the egos and competitiveness from then. ‘
They continued: ‘Cheryl, Nicola and Kimberly are best friends and it seems like they’re really trying not to leave Nadine out as they don’t want anything to derail this tour or cause tension – and Nadine is making a huge effort with them too, she’s really gotten to know and bond with the adult versions of them over the past year.
Those close to the band are apparently hoping that their past feuds over who sings what and makes the most headlines no longer matter and can become a thing of the past. MailOnline has contacted representatives for comment.
