3am: Jade's thin on the ground.

Byline: Jessica Callan, Eva Simpson, Suzanne Kerins

DAMAGE'S Jade Jones is having a ball now that he's dropped his long-term girlfriend Emma Bunton.

Clearly delighted at not having the former Spice Girl around, the singer enjoyed a spot of footie with his bandmates in Hyde Park, London.

But despite his best efforts to impress, the 23-year-old was unable to score with the ladies off the pitch.

None of the sunbathers batted an eyelid at the singer's skinny frame. Oh well.
