Quantcast Vegetarian StarCheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle Learn Fur Coats Don’t Have X Factor

Cheryl Cole, judge on the UK television show X Factor, learned a hard lesson  Nigella Lawson did not long ago that joking around about animals is not always taking humorously.

Cole made the suggestion during an interview that Nadine Coyle, member of the band Girls Aloud owned a coat made of real fur.

Coyle walked into a store and picked up what she thought was a 500 pound coat (~$700 U.S.) but when she got to the checkout counter, the coat rang up at 5,000 pounds (~$5,000 U.S.) which led Cole to suggest it had to be made of fur.

Here’s a bit from the conversation that took place.

Cheryl: “It must be fur, is it fur?”

Nadine: “It’s fur.”

Cheryl: “There you go, it’s real fur.”

Nadine: “It’s like, er, tiger, like a white and black tiger.”

After animal rights groups heard this, Coyle and her publicists were flooded with calls.

A spokesperson for Coyle and her band said that the ladies were only joking, but he couldn’t confirm the materials in Coyle’s coat.

“You’ll see it’s Cheryl that said it was real fur – Nadine didn’t know what it was made of. Nadine is in America now, so I can’t ask her about the coat but I doubt she knows what it is made of.”

We doubt it was tiger fur, but really, could it have been mink, fox, or any other combination of critters used in the fur industry?

Here’s hoping Nadine just bought an over-priced coat that only celebrities can afford that is completely synthetic.
