Nadine Coyle wants to be a pub landlady.

The Girls Aloud beauty - who hails from Northern Ireland - wants to move to Los Angeles and set up a chain of Irish bars.

She said: "I've loved Los Angeles since I first went there a couple of years ago. I just fell completely in love with the place. I love the weather, the lifestyle, the palm trees, the big wide roads. At the moment, it's just a matter of me going over when we're not working.

"I've already got a place and my family are out there. It took me about two years to convince them it was a good idea, though. I was always trying to convince my parents to come over for a holiday and they did at the start of the year and really liked it.

"The ultimate business plan is to open a chain of Irish bars. Americans are screaming out for them."

Even though she's moving to Los Angeles, Nadine has no intentions of rekindling her romance with 'Desperate Housewives' star Jesse Metcalfe.

The couple split earlier this year over claims Jesse - who is based in Los Angeles - cheated on Nadine, but the singer claims they're still friends.

She said: "Jesse's lovely. He's a really nice guy. I'm not worried about bumping into him.

"I have a lot of respect for him. We had a lovely time together and we still speak. But I wouldn't go out with him again, I'm happy being single. Sometimes people just grow apart."
