For the love of our Girl Sarah

GIRLS Aloud shared personal memories of late bandmate Sarah Harding as they admitted they miss her "electric and wild" side while on the road.

The remaining four members Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh - are on tour for the first time since 2013, and celebrate Sarah, who died from breast cancer at 39 in 2021, as part of the show.

Sarah's mother, Marie Hardman, was in the audience as the group paid a heartfelt tribute to her daughter at their Manchester gig last Friday.

Speaking on a two-hour Radio 2 special, the girls all say the one thing they wish they could change was having Sarah back with them now.

Cheryl says: "There's little moments that you would share with her individually on stage on tour. Where there's no more Sarah then in that moment and I can't describe... like, nobody else would know her that way, other than us four."

Recalling her favourite memory of friend Sarah, 42-year-old Kimberley adds: "For me, I just love, I can see it in my mind whenever I want, seeing her perform Footloose on tour.

"To me, it just epitomises everything about her that was just so electric and wild.

"And the way she moved, like everything! If I need to feel Sarah that's what I watch.

And Nadine, 38, says of memories of Sarah: "Do you know, I had so, so many.

"So many tour ones, so many nights out, so many mornings after the nights out where we would just look at one another like, 'Are you all right?"
