When news broke of Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton’s split from Fran Cosgrove – her partner of two years and the father of her six month old Josh – the nation wondered why a couple obviously so smitten with each other would separate at such an important time in their lives. Natasha decided to speak out exclusively to OK! Quashing rumours of power struggles, blazing rows and whispers that someone else was involved in the break up. In an exclusive photo shoot at London’s Knightsbridge Hotel, Natasha poses for these beautiful photos with baby Josh, sets the record straight once and for all about the break up and reveals how her Atomic Kitten band mates Liz Mclarnon and Jenny Frost have helped her through this painful time. We were all saddened to hear about the split. In your own words, what really happened? We just came to a natural end, nothing more and nothing less. We ended up best friends more than anything else did, so we both decided to call it a day. Some of the papers tried to make out that Fran was very controlling and demanded to see more of me but that wasn’t true. We’re both very independent, headstrong people, and I would never dream of stopping him do something and vice versa. You must look at Josh and be so thrilled that something special came from your relationship… Totally. I had two of the most amazing years of my life with Fran and it wasn’t the stress of the jobs or how much we hated each other – despite what some people would like to think. It was just a natural progression. Some people have suggested that Fran working long hours in his nightclub, Click, was also a major factor… That’s rubbish, as ever since I met Fran he’s had a night-time job. He’d be off on tour with Westlife as their security and I’d never see him for ages, but the club was in London, where we live, so we were actually together a lot more in the final weeks in our relationship than from the beginning. What about the rumours that someone else was involved? Again, total rubbish. No one else apart from Josh, end of story. It was time to move on with our lives and we still talk to each other on the phone all the time and text each other, asking how Josh is. Yesterday my mum brought Josh down so I called Fran and he came round and took him off for the afternoon, showing him off to all his mates. The papers have already tried linking you to Sarah Whatmore’s ex boyfriend, model Matt Bailey… You know, Matt and I met ages ago and we’re good friends as he also used to go out with our make up artist, so there’s no romance or anything. We were just good for each other that night as he had also just split from his girlfriend and we were like: ‘Let’s face the big world together.’ But just because we were photographed in a taxi together he’s suddenly become ‘Tash’s New Love.’ It’s silly, but I knew something like that would turn up the next day. Poor Matt - he only came out to have a laugh! Your not even 21 yet, and Fran is 25, but you both seemed to handle this situation very responsibly. Does the maturity come from growing up in the public eye or because you’re now perents? I don’t know. People said the easiest thing was to stick things out but I just saw what needed to happen. We both did. It wasn’t that one of us saw things differently in the end. I mean what’s the point of falling out with each other now, as we’re both going to be in each other’s lives forever. Josh is our son, so there is no need for bad feelings. Did the two of you attempt to give things a second chance? Through time, we both gave it a couple of goes and I did feel bad for Fran when it all came out in the papers as I was on a plane to Asia while he just got hounded by the press. I actually had a journalist phone me on my mobile while I was out there, asking questions. It’s mad, really, that anyone was interested enough to do that. Was it a good move getting out of the country at the time? We’d actually split a week and a half before it hit the press, and not being there helped so much. Mates were texting me asking me ‘Are you ok?’ and I was like ‘Yes I’m fine.’ I think not being surrounded by the papers and people going ‘Ooh love it’s such a shame…’ was the best for me. It could have felt quite scary. Are the two of you still friends? Yes. He said to me the other day: ‘You’ll have to come down to Click soon.’ I was like: ‘Erm I think I’ll leave it a couple of weeks actually.’ These things have to take time for both our feelings. How does it feel to have such a harrowing part of your life made public property? It’s weird because I’m in a band to perform, entertain and make great music for fans to enjoy. But I’ve always known this would be the outcome if Fran and I were ever to split – it comes with the job and I can’t complain. People get to know you and they want to know about certain aspects of you’re life, and I’ve always expected it. Do you think the two of you could be good friends one day? I was with Fran, the father of my child, and the man I thought I was going to marry, and we’re both hurting a lot. We’ll always love each other, but it just wasn’t meant to be. I said to him that I’d love to phone him up and for him to become a shoulder to cry on one day, as we know more about each other, more that anyone else on the planet. There’s no bitterness there, and I’m glad, as I’d hate not being able to bump in to him and hide [If I did] or not picking up the phone and asking how he is. I could never just drop Josh off at his house, run in and run back out so we don’t have to see each other. That would just be too hard. How are you coping with being a single mother? Someone asked me the other day if it freaked me out and immediately I said: ‘No, not in the slightest.’ I know I’m a single mum but Josh has two perents, as Fran and I are there for him at all times and I’ve got my mum, Maria, helping me out when I’m at work, being totally amazing to us both. I don’t know what I would have done without her – probably have lost the plot by now.
