'At no point did she try and stop us': Sarah Harding surprised by Nadine Coyle's claims she tried to halt Girls Aloud split
|
Sarah Harding has spoken out for the first time since Girls Aloud split up two weeks ago, insisting she was 'unaware' bandmate Nadine Coyle wanted the group to keep going.
After the manufactured five-piece announced they were disbanded after the last gig on their reunion tour, Nadine took to Twitter to insist the split was the last thing she wanted.
Now addressing Nadine's statement, Sarah tells the new issue of Look magazine: 'I was unaware she even felt like that.

'At no point did she try and stop us, so you’d have to ask her why she did that. I have to respect her decision.'
Posing in a series of metallic styles for a shoot in the accompanying interview, the 31-year-old denied claims she and Cheryl Cole had sent Nadine angry text messages after the Twitter statement.
The day after the girl group announced plans to go their separate ways, Nadine tweeted: ''You should know by now I had no part in any of this split business. I couldn't stop them. I had the best time & want to keep going.'

Addressing rumours of a rift with Nadine, Sarah said: 'No, that’s never happened. We all went to Manchester and had the after-party with our friends and family. Then we kind of hugged it out and just danced.
'Of course it worries me there are reports of fallouts between us, because it’s upsetting to our fans. We wouldn’t be where we are now without their loyalty.'
Reflecting on the group's reunion after three years apart, Sarah explained: 'We’ve just had eight weeks of being together non-stop, so it’s nice to have a break.
'It’s like being sisters - after a while you feel a little bit suffocated....
'It was so nostalgic all being back together and it was good, but it did feel like the right time. We can’t go on forever.'
Now the Girls Aloud phase of her life is over, Sarah is finally ready to try her hand at a solo career.
All her bandmates have released solo records - to varying degrees of success, with Cheryl being the most triumphant with several No.1 singles.
Sarah said: 'Oh my God. I’m frightened of being up there on my own!
'I can’t even fathom the idea of it yet. Don’t get me wrong, when I was younger I’d get up and do a few numbers in a pub gig, but that’s very different to Wembley Arena.'
