Former X Factor judge and music manager Louis Walsh says he think that British girl band Girls Aloud will come to an end after their fifth album.

Walsh, who was formerly Girls Aloud's manager,  told New magazine: "They're doing one more album for Polydor. I think rumours about the band splitting started because Nadine is in Los Angeles, but she's only in Los Angeles because she's going out with a guy there, Jesse Metcalfe."

One of reality TV�s most successful groups, Girls Aloud formed on British TV screens in 2002 through reality talent show Pop Stars: The Rivals, and since then have scored a massive 15 consecutive British top ten singles.

Walsh said in his opinion the band are going from strength to strength. "They're getting on better than ever. They're getting on with it. They look great, they're always in the papers, they will definitely release another album and they're going on tour."

Girls Aloud member Nadine Coyle moved to the US to be closer to her boyfriend,  former Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe after the pair struggled to keep a transatlantic relationship going, and currently 'commutes' to the UK to work with the girls.

Louis refused to blame Nadine for a possible split, but did concede: "She's with Jesse and there's not a thing we can do about it. But she's happy."
