Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has claimed Nadine Coyle is "full of s**t" for for suggesting she didn't want Girls Aloud to split up.
The 'X Factor' judge was surprised when she saw her former bandmate take to Twitter to say "you should know by now I had no part in any of this split business. I couldn't stop them. I had the best time and want to keep going" in the wake of the band's break-up following their greatest hits tour in 2013.
Instead, Cheryl claims Nadine was responsible for the chain of events that led to the group's demise when she wanted to take time off to make a solo album in 2009.
Addressing Nadine's comments in the new issue of Attitude magazine, Cheryl said: "She's full of s**t. What do you want us to say? She's full of s**t. She was the one who wanted to make a solo record. Which is why we took the hiatus.
"She wants to come out and say we broke the band up? No! She shouldn't tell porkie pies. She should remember why we took the hiatus after seven years..."
Cheryl, 31, claims Nadine, 29, actually refused to record another Girls Aloud album until she got the opportunity to make a solo album, and effectively held her and the other band members - Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh - to "ransom".
Cheryl said: "OK, so do you want us to tell the truth? She wasn't going to make another Girls Aloud record until she got a solo deal. I feel she held us to ransom and then made her solo record deal.
"It's the truth. She's saying that we broke the band up. So there you go."
Cheryl has enjoyed a successful solo career away from Girls Aloud releasing four albums - '3 Words', 'Messy Little Raindrops', 'A Million Lights' and 'Only Human' - while Nadine's one solo LP 'Insatiable' bombed.

Sharon Osbourne has revealed 'The Osbournes' is to return for eight episodes.
The 62-year-old star admitted her husband Ozzy Osbourne has given the go-ahead to re-launch the reality TV show because he cannot remember what happened on the initial four series - which aired from March 2002 to March 2005 - because he was drunk the whole time.
Making the announcement on 'Loose Women' earlier this afternoon (07.11.14), she said: "Ozzy has decided that he wants to do another few episodes, not a whole season, about eight episodes, of 'The Osbournes'.
"He said that for the whole three years that we did it he was drunk the whole time. But he would like to do one where he's completely sober, as he is now."
Sharon revealed the show will mainly focus on her and Ozzy - who has previously battled addiction but has been sober for two years and attends daily Alcoholics Anonymous [AA] meetings - but will also feature their children, Jack and Kelly Osbourne, on a regular basis.
She added: "[The kids] will come in and out.
"Hopefully [we'll start filming] in January but as I say it's not forever, no more than eight episodes.
"Because it's been 13 years and our lives have changed so much than it's a kind of catch-up, like, 'What are they doing now?' "
'The Osbournes' was the most-viewed series ever on MTV after its first season.

Serge Pizzorno has hit out at musicians who eat broccoli and go on diets.
The Kasabian guitarist admits not everyone enjoys "doing heroin" and downing "50 bottles of whisky", but insists there is something "not honest" about band members who spend their time eating healthily and shopping on online auction website eBay rather than partying.
He said: "At festivals we have these dressing rooms with huge speakers and everyone comes to party.
"The ones that are snobby and turn their noses up are usually the ones eating chicken and broccoli to stay thin.
"There's just something not honest about them. It's the eBayers and people on diets."
The 33-year-old star insists musicians who diet to try to stay thin often get plenty of positive publicity, but he doesn't think that would be the case if people "knew the truth" about them.
He added to Metro newspaper: "They're usually the press darlings that everyone loves - if they knew the truth, maybe they wouldn't."
Serge is known to enjoy the odd beer and recently revealed he wrote Kasabian's song 'Treat' about his "evil twin" after sinking a few alcoholic beverages.
He said: "The lyric about my evil twin is that moment when you have one beer and you make certain decisions.
"After two beers decisions can still be made but after five or six beers you are a completely different person. But there is something amazing about the other person, your evil twin.
"Although he, or she, will get you into more trouble than you are ever likely to get into, you do buzz off that other person a bit."

Bruce Springsteen auctioned a lasagne dinner at his home for $300,000.
The 65-year-old entertainer raised $600,000 at the 8th annual Stand Up For Heroes charity concert after selling the opportunity to have a meal at his home as well as a package which included a one-hour guitar lesson, a ride in the sidecar of his motorcycle and a guitar.
Speaking on stage, the 'Born in the USA' singer joked: "You may have a guitar lesson or simply waste my time."
Bruce - also known as The Boss - originally offered the guitar and lesson for a starting price of $75,000.
The $600,000 sum he made for the charity - which supports military service members and their families upon their return - came about as fans showed plenty of enthusiasm and the musician decided to auction off more and more items.
The event, also attended by comedians John Oliver, Jon Stewart and Louis C.K., saw a fan pledge to offer $300,000 for the lasagne dinner if another bidder increased his price to $300,000 for the whole package, which he duly did.
The function at Madison Square Garden in New York City raised more than $1 million, more than half of which was raised by Bruce, who performed 'Dancing in the Dark' and 'Growin' Up'.

Anne Hathaway only argues with her husband on an empty-stomach.
The 31-year-old star admitted she tries not to spend too much time away from Adam Shulman - who she married in September 2012 - despite her hectic work schedule, and even when she does see him they very rarely quarrel unless she is feeling peckish.
The brunette beauty - who famously slimmed down for the role of Fantine in 'Les Miserables' - said: "We try not to go more than two weeks without seeing each other. After that everybody just gets grumpy, you start fighting over really unimportant things.
"So, actually, we don't have fights, I have a lot of 'hangry' [hungry and angry] moments where I'm on the verge of having a fight and then he feeds me and I realise everything's going to be fine."
The Academy Award-winning actress admitted she is "blown away" by how much being married to the 33-year-old actor has altered her life and made her feel safe.
When asked on ITV show 'Lorraine' if marriage had changed her, she said: "It totally has and I did not expect that. Neither of us did. We were very open with each other and when we were getting married we thought we were just doing it for tradition and we really went in thinking it would be pieces of paper.
"But I didn't know who I was going to be as a married person and there is a centering to it and I was allowing myself to really feel safe in a way that I never let myself feel since I was a child, you know. And I've been really blown away at how much life it's given me."

Khloe Kardashian appeared to reach out to estranged husband Lamar Odom by posting a heartfelt quote about closure on his birthday.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' took to her Instagram page yesterday (06.11.14) - when the basketball player turned 35 - to post a picture of a piece entitled 'Closure' which seems to admit the pair didn't say good bye to each other when they split.
The quote read: "Closure: Like time suspended, a wound unmended - you and I. We had no ending, said no good-bye. For all my life, I'll wonder why."
Earlier in the day, Khloe - who is rumoured to have reconciled with rapper French Montana following their recent split - is said to have called Lamar to wish him happy birthday.
A source told HollywoodLife: "They always talk, and [Lamar's birthday] was no different. They didn't talk about her boyfriend. It was a very brief, 'Hello, happy birthday,' conversation because she was on the run."
This comes after it was recently reported Khloe - who has filed court papers to dissolve her four-year marriage to the hunk - wanted closure following their split in December after months of rumours he was addicted to cocaine and cheated on her with multiple women.
A source said: "Without an official divorce, there's no closure for her."
Lamar has previously been accused of refusing to sign the divorce papers in the hope of repairing his and Khloe's marriage, but he is thought to be gearing up to put pen to paper on the legal documents to end their nuptials.
The source said: "Khloe knows where he is. She just hasn't made a move or told him flat out what she wants to do. Lamar wants her with him but only if she wants to be. It's got to be mutual. If not, he's cool with letting her go for good."

Jennifer Lopez felt like her heart had been "torn" out of her chest after her split from Ben Affleck.
The 'I Luh Ya Papi' hitmaker has spoken in her new book, 'True Love', about the devastation she experienced following her break up with 'Gone Girl' actor Ben, whom she split from in 2004 just days before they were to be married.
She wrote: "It felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest."
Explaining her feelings during a talk about her memoir in New York last night (06.11.14), she said: "I had breakups and things but I'd never felt heartbroken until we called off that wedding. It was devastating to me, maybe because it was so public.
"I really felt like I had found somebody great and he had found somebody great and we thought we could make it work."
The 45-year-old beauty - who had previously been married to actor and producer Ojani Noa and actor and choreographer Cris Judd - went on to marry Marc Anthony just months after her split, but they too divorced this year.
And she's now opened up following the news that the father of her six-year-old twins - Max and Emme - has reportedly become engaged to 26-year-old model Shannon De Lima.
The New York Daily News newspaper reports her as saying: "I'm happy for him."
However, Jennifer insists she will remain single until she feels comfortable being on her own.
She added: "You have to heal on your own and that's what I've been learning. You should be happy all by yourself. For so long we're taught there's a fairy tale that's supposed to happen but that's not how it goes ... Someone great will come along but I'll be whole first."

Lily Allen has thanked praised her husband for helping her cope with the death of her still-born son.
The 29-year-old singer has thanked "loving partner" Sam Cooper, 37, after he supported her when she struggled to deal with her stillbirth in November 2010.
Speaking in an emotional interview, Lily said: "I think it's difficult for anybody regardless of what world they live in and actually what I took home from that experience was ... even though it was the most unfortunate thing that can ever happen to a person, I was very fortunate in the sense that I have a loving partner to go home to and share that experience with."
She also admitted she has learned to "count her blessings" following the tragic ordeal.
Speaking on ITV's 'The Jonathan Ross Show' in an interview airing on Saturday (08.11.14), he said: "There are many women - [there are] 17 stillbirths in the UK every day - that go home and they don't have that support, they have to go home and deal with that on their own so I am kind of in a bit of a ... count-my-blessings scenario."
Lily - who is mother to two-year-old Ethel Mary and 22-month-old Marnie Rose - also hit out at critics who claimed she is more interested in partying after she was spotted hanging out with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, without her daughters in tow.
She told Jonathan: "The way that they had sort of insinuated it was that, 'She's a mother of two, abandoning her children'. I'm in a car with a father-of-two and at no point has anyone alluded to him abandoning his children! There is a double standard."
'The Jonathan Ross Show' airs at 9.45pm tomorrow on ITV.
