Nadine Coyle

Nadine Coyle

Nadine Coyle has told how she was almost gassed to death in a carbon monoxide leak at her LA mansion.

The Derry star revealed that her fiance and family were also nearly killed by the toxic vapour as it seeped from a broken boiler.

Speaking exclusively to Sunday Life, Nadine revealed how noxious fumes slowly filled her huge US home for FOUR MONTHS before her family realised what was making them ill.

The singer said: “We were sick as dogs from the gas for weeks and weeks. My oldest sister got so ill we all thought she was dying.

“It was the worst time of my life. We’re lucky to still be here.”

Nadine, 25, opened her heart about the near-tragedy last week — just 48 hours before Ulster businessman Killian Scallon was killed in a gas leak at his Fermanagh home.

Why my kids feel Olympics are not the real thing now

I did quite well in my school exams, but the only thing for which I can confidently say I stood out like a beacon among my fellow pupils was my record-breaking 100-metres dash.

Think your money is legal tender? Don’t bank on it

Readers have a habit of shining spotlights on unexpected issues that throw up interesting queries. Or, on occasion, a downright can of worms.

World must open its eyes and see Israel for what it is

Why pick on Israel when there's so much injustice in the rest of the world? The answer is to be found in the specific circumstances which gave rise to the launch of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign in July 2005.

PR machine is driving Sinn Fein power push

Sinn Fein's ard fheis opens in Killarney tomorrow. Like most conferences held by successful political parties, it is a well-managed set-piece. It is a PR event and it is aimed at the voters watching on TV.
