"Nicole Scherzinger was reportedly &amp;quot;jealous&amp;quot; of Ashley Roberts, according to former Pussycat Dolls member Carmit Bachar. Bachar claimed that the X Factor judge&amp;#039;s envy of her bandmate was one of the main reasons behind the group&amp;#039;s split. Ashley Roberts - who is currently taking part in this year&amp;#039;s I&amp;#039;m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - is also said to have turned to spirituality after the band broke up.   [Left: Ashley Roberts / Right: Scherzinger] &amp;quot;Nicole was jealous of Ashley. She felt threatened by her - like people would prefer her because of the way she looked,&amp;quot; Bachar told The Sun. &amp;quot;Ashley had that iconic American thing going on - blonde hair, blue eyes. It was the look Nicole seemed to want but could never have. &amp;quot;No-one could understand why Nicole was so jealous. She was an exotic beauty with a look that most girls would kill for. &amp;quot;But she always had a thing about blonde girls. Ashley knew that Nicole was jealous of her and it made her feel uncomfortable. It was a hideous undertone in the group. &amp;quot;After the Dolls fell apart, Ashley was in tears. It was a tough time for everyone in the band. But with Ashley being the way she is, it was particularly hard on her.&amp;quot;  Talking about how she and Roberts dealt with the group&amp;#039;s end, she explained: &amp;quot;With all the craziness that was going on, Ashley and I went to see a woman who helped us get back to a spiritual place. &amp;quot;Christel Hughes has been a force for us. She helps us heal ourselves. She&amp;#039;s a bit of everything - clairvoyant, medium, spiritual healer. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s not a psychic but she can get messages from your spirit guide - she can see stuff no-one could possibly have known. She helps guide you to find clarity. &amp;quot;She has helped us a lot over the years and she definitely helped Ashley after the Dolls split. I think it was even Christel who advised Ashley to go on I&amp;#039;m a Celebrity. Ashley told me she felt it was her calling to go on the show.&amp;quot; Bachar continued to say that Nicole Scherzinger&amp;#039;s control of the band led to their end. She said: &amp;quot;I think Nicole got it into her head that she was the real star and would be better off on her own.   [Left: Carmit Bachar / Right: Scherzinger] &amp;quot;She started travelling in her own tour bus and the divide between her and the rest of us just got bigger. Nicole chose to isolate and alienate herself. There was constant bickering. Ashley was always the sensitive one back then. &amp;quot;She would often call me late at night crying her eyes out. I know Nicole&amp;#039;s attitude got to her. &amp;quot;Nicole basically wanted to be front and centre all the time. We were expected to work our arses off to boost Nicole and her own career. The situation became unbearable.&amp;quot; The singer and dancer also praised her best friend&amp;#039;s appearance on the ITV show, saying: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s doing great in the I&amp;#039;m a Celebrity jungle and I am so proud of her - there is no way I could handle all those creepy crawlies!&amp;quot; Watch the video for &amp;#039;Don&amp;#039;t Cha&amp;#039; by The Pussycat Dolls below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
