Scary: Nadine Coyle, pictured earlier this month performing in London, has revealed she and her family were nearly killed by a carbon monoxide leak
Singer also suffers more chart misery as debut solo album limps into the charts at No.47
Nadine Coyle has revealed she and her family were almost killed by a poisonous gas leak in her former Californian mansion.
The Girls Aloud singer told how deadly carbon monoxide was leaking out of a cracked central heating boiler for four months.
It was only when the 25-year-old singer's mother Lillian called out a gas worker that the problem was spotted.
Nadine said the leak left her family feeling as 'sick as dogs' adding that they were lucky to be alive.
She told The Sun: 'My mouth erupted in blisters. I couldn't sleep or eat or think straight.
'Everyone got really drowsy and we kept having to go to sleep.'

Nadine has now moved out of the LA property, which she shared with her American football star fiance Jason Bell, 32, 60-year-old mother, father Niall, 61, and two sisters Charmaine, 33, and Rachael, 23.
She described the time as the 'worst of my life,' adding: 'We all felt like we had really bad flu. My older sister got so ill we thought she was dying.'
It was only because the house, located in the posh Huntington Beach area of Los Angeles, was well ventilated that they didn't die.
Meanwhile the Londonderry-born singer suffered another humiliating chart defeat this weekend after her debut solo album Insatiable failed to make the Top 40.
The LP sold a measly 5,000 copies and only managed to make it to No.47.
It comes the week after her single of the same name stalled in the singles charts at a dismal No.26.
In stark contrast her bandmate Cheryl Cole gained the top spot with her single Promise This and her second solo album Messy Little Raindrops, both released a week ahead of Nadine's.
Last night Rihanna topped the singles chart with Only Girl (In The World) for a second week running while Take That were beat in to second place with The Flood.
And Susan Boyle knocked Cheryl's album of the No.1 position last night with her second LP, The Gift.
The X Factor judge is now at No.3 while Bon Jovi secured second place with his Greatest Hits album.
Is anybody buying this? The singer's debut album lipped into the charts this weekend at a dismal No.47, pictured earlier this month promoting it in Dublin
