| The P.Cat Dolls spokesman was forced to deny they were splitting this morning after a bandmember broke down in front of fans. Fans waiting outside the Dolls' London hotel claimed a tearful Ashley Roberts had confided: 'This is the last time we'll be in the UK as a band. We've broken up. We're sorry'. The band have been plagued by rumours that they are due to split in recent months, allegedly over the prominence of singer Nicole Scherzinger. But a spokesman was quick to jump in and refute the allegation, saying: 'The girls are still together. They are in Beirut for a gig.' Friday's gig in Lebanon is the last concert of the group's gruelling nine-month world Doll Domination tour. Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page, Ashley's bandmate Kimberly Wyatt said she was optimistic about the future. She said: 'I'm filled with love, understanding, and excitement for life. I can't wait to see what's around the corner.' Earlier this month, Kimberly admitted there was tension in the group over Nicole's prominent role. She said: 'It's true, there has always been a lot of focus on Nicole which has been hard to deal with sometimes. This group was created with a foundation, they knew exactly what they wanted and they had Nicole as the focus. Every video and stage performance that we've done, Nicole has been our leader. I wasn't in videos like I wanted and wasn't seen in the way I was hoping, which has been the same for all the other girls too. I don't really make any of the decisions, I'm in the group and can voice my opinions to a degree but at the end of the day it is a business and there are a lot of chefs in the kitchen that run the P.Cat Dolls.' Several songs from the album, which was originally scheduled for release two years ago, ended up on the Doll Domination album last year. Melody Thornton, who often has her own solo segment in the Dolls' previous singles, made her feelings known on stage in her native Phoenix, Arizona in April, when the group were supporting Britney Spears. As each Doll introduced herself, Melody said: 'I want to give a shout out to my family. Thank you for supporting me...even though I'm not featured. Don't give up on your dreams. Don't let anybody stop you - ever.' After her on-stage outburst, she was given an enthusiastic high-five by redhead Jessica. Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page, Melody said: 'You know when you realise someone or something you have been involved in or with for a long time is completely beneath you and needs to be over! Yeah.' Dismissing reports of a rift in a recent interview with the Mail's You magazine, Nicole said: 'We are like a sisterhood, a family. We know when we need to give one another space and when we need to have a good laugh. The girls are always there for me and vice versa but, for the most part, I have always been a quiet person who walks to the beat of her own drum, so I can often be found on my own because I am thinking about work all the time.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb |
