Nicola Roberts no to fashion range

Nicola Roberts doesn't think she's ready to have her own clothing line.

The Girls Aloud star is currently in the process of launching her make-up range for pale-skinned girls, Dainty Doll, but has no plans to create a fashion collection because it would be undeserved.

Speaking at a party for luxurious footwear designer Gianmarco Lorenzi at his London store, Nicola told BANG Showbiz: "I don't want to have a fashion range just because I can. Just because I am a celebrity doesn't mean I should have a fashion range. I'm not qualified for it and real designers can do a much better job."

Although she doesn't want her own clothing range, Nicola also wouldn't have the time because she's so involved in her cosmetic line.

She said: "I never realised how much work goes into doing something like this. It should be ready to be launched later this year and I've been involved in every stage of the process and it's something I'm really proud of. But it's a lot of hard work, especially as I want to get it just right." 

Nicola Roberts shy with Girls

Nicola Roberts found it hard to introduce her boyfriend to her bandmates.

The Girls Aloud singer - who has been dating 23-year-old entrepreneur Charlie Fennell for 18 months - left it for some time before initiating a meet-up because the group have such a tight "circle of trust".

She said: "We're all very protective of each other, I introduced him quite slowly. We have a circle of trust and you have to earn your place in it.

"I wouldn't ever want to bring someone in just because I was smitten; lust can glaze your eyes over and you can make poor judgments. So I had to make absolutely sure he was a good egg before I put him in their company!"

The 24-year-old star said her bandmates - Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Kimberley Walsh and Nadine Coyle - bonded with her beau instantly and they even get upset if she goes out without him.

She said: "He got the seal of approval and now he's in the circle, so whenever I turn up, they ask, 'Is Charlie here?' Because he's so comfortable around them, they feel comfortable too. They look disappointed when I say no. You've got to have a big personality to cope with the force of all five of us, and Charlie's got that. He has them all laughing. He's funny."
