Nicola Maria Roberts (born October 5, 1985 in Stamford, England), an English pop star from Runcorn is the youngest member of Girls Aloud. Also known as 'Cola' and 'Ginge', Nicola started singing at the young age of eleven.

Her group was formed after auditioning for a UK TV show "Popstars". Nicola was originally eliminated before the final stage, but was brought back into the final ten after Nicola Ward pulled out of the show after disagreeing with the show's contract.

Also, Nicola is known as the quiet shy one in the group.

Nicola debuted in FHM's one hundred Sexiest Women list in 2005, charting at #77, ahead of the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Dannii Minogue and Hilary Duff. She also appeared at number 15 in FHM's 20 Sexiest Singers 2005 just behind her fellow band members with Cheryl Tweedy taking number 1. Nicola was #84 in the 2006 poll.
