Nicola Roberts had to get drunk to dance with a hunk in her latest pop video.

The 26-year-old singer confessed to drinking lots of champagne in preparation for the video to her solo single 'Yo-Yo' because she has to frolic with a sexy man, but admits it made her cringe when she watched it back.

She said: "Because I had to be with a boy and I didn't know how comfortable I'd be, I wanted to be able to just go with it … I wrote the story for the video and then I had to do some acting so I got drunk, so I could get it right. By the end of it, I was bladdered!

"The funniest thing was going through the tapes in the editing suite. I was literally sinking into the sofa saying, 'What am I doing? Turn it off! Fast forward. The bits that made it are the bits where I don't look as drunk. The rest is on the cutting room floor."

Nicola recently reunited with some of her Girls Aloud bandmates at Kimberley Walsh's 30th birthday party, and she admitted things also got a bit out of control then too.

She added: "When Girls Aloud have a party it's always good. The venue couldn't quite handle us. We had all of our friends there and some of our dancers were whipping off their shirts. To us it's normal, but to the venue, it was like, 'Whoa, chill!' " - Bang Showbiz
