Nicola Robertswere out in full force over the weekend, hitting London nightclub The Box to celebrate a friend's birthday.

Girls Aloud stars took to Instagram to share evidence of their "messy" girls night out, with Chezza posting a collage of them drinking shots of Patron, along with the caption: "#regram @kimberleywalshofficial @lilcola the three musketeers !! I think too much time apart makes us go crazy #notwell."

She then posted a pic of her wearing a very short LBD and pulling a face, writing next to the image: "That awkward moment when your friends send you pictures from last night the you can't even remember #why #messy."
