Cheryl makes rare return to social media following news of the Girls Aloud reunion in memory of Sarah Harding

CHERYL made a rare return to social media last night for the first time in in nearly five months.

The 38-year-old shared a selfie of herself looking glammed up while wearing a hoody, as she joked with fans: “It's been a minute.”

The mum-of-one added: “Hope you're all good”, as her fans rushed to welcome her back.

Cheryl has taken a step back from the public eye in recent years to look after her son Bear, who she shares with ex Liam Payne.

And she recently revealed she now spends her days meditating, saying: “Meditation has changed my life. I do it every evening and sometimes during the day for at least 20 minutes at a time while Bear is at nursery.”

Her latest appearance online comes after it was confirmed that Girls Aloud will reunite later this year for the first time in nine years.

Nadine Coyle, 36, has revealed she will return to the stage with Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh, 40, and Nicola Roberts, 36, for a show following Sarah’s breast cancer death last September, aged 39.

The event, which will take place in late 2022, will raise money to put towards kits that will help detect cancer in the early stages.

Nadine said: “We’re planning a night for an event to raise money in honour of Sarah.

“We want to do something to help others.

“She’s very much in the forefront of our minds.

“When she became unwell, a lot of my energy was focused on her.

“Her passing has been so devastating.”

The last time the girls were all together on stage was in March 2013.

Girls Aloud formed back in 2002 on TV show Popstars: The Rivals.
