'He is hurt and puzzled. Nicole was a co–chair at the Met Gala and didn't seem to greet Hugh and Sutton,' an insider told this week's New Idea magazine.

'They weren't photographed together and there's little evidence that they even spoke. It's very strange considering they go way back.'

However, they added that Nicole had been friends with Deb longer than she had known Hugh, with the pair co–starring in the 1987 Australian movie The Bit Part, so it was no surprise that the Babygirl actress sided with her.

It was at the earlier this month – where , reportedly leaving Deb 'shattered' – that Nicole once again made her loyalties clear by distancing herself from the pair.

'Nicole is firmly Team Deb,' an insider told Naughty But Nice's Rob Shuter. 

'She believes Deb was deeply hurt by how everything unfolded. Nicole isn't interested in pretending otherwise just because Hugh showed up with a new woman on his arm.'
