It seems Coyle will feel right at home on set, as she said she had 'similar experiences' as the girls in the show.
"It’s based on the same school I went to, the same Catholic school, so we have loads of similar experiences," she added.
Coyle may also be a natural addition to the programme as Galway native Nicola Coughlan - who plays Clare Devlin - studied the singer's accent via YouTube to prepare for the role.
"My main source of help was Nadine Coyle," she said.
