no girls aloud... for ever

Girls Aloud vow they will NOT reunite as concerns deepen over Sarah Harding’s unpredictable behaviour on CBB

SARAH HARDING went into CBB to show people “what she’s really like”.

But sadly her car-crash appearance on the Channel 5 reality show has also cemented the singer’s worst fears — her GIRLS ALOUD days are over.

I can reveal Sarah’s faint hopes of a reunion with CHERYL, KIMBERLEY WALSH, NICOLA ROBERTS and NADINE COYLE have been dashed by her unpredictable behaviour.

The girls simply can’t see how they can be a functioning group again while she continues her very public fall from grace.

A band insider said: “In the back of her mind Sarah was hoping her comeback on CBB could spark a surge of interest in the band getting back together.

“Girls Aloud have a huge fanbase who would love to see a reunion. But if concerns over her reliability were high before she went in the house, they’ve gone through the roof now.”

Sarah and Cheryl’s feud was all but confirmed when Cheryl unfollowed her on Twitter after it was rumoured she would be on CBB.

Days later, Sarah admitted she hadn’t spoken to her in ages.

And she told fellow contestant, glamour model JEMMA LUCY: “We’re so busy with our own stuff . . . I don’t like talking about the other girls.”

It was a polite way of owning up to the friction that has seen Sarah snubbed from special occasions including Nicola’s 30th birthday and Kimberley’s wedding.

After a steady start in the CBB house, Sarah has slowly gone off the rails, regularly breaking down and even threatening to quit.

She had an X-rated rant at Jemma, a huge falling out with Hollyoaks actor PAUL DANAN and has now embarked on an unlikely romance with US hunk CHAD JOHNSON — despite having a secret boyfriend outside of the house.

To top that, yesterday she got randy with her rival Jemma as they passionately snogged during a game of truth or dare.

Sounds like a Girls Aloud group hug would suit Sarah better.

Bolt party time... still

USAIN BOLT is enjoying his retirement the only way he knows how – by partying all night.

The sprint king was out in London for the second night in a row on Monday, this time at Soho club Cirque Le Soir, where he was seen dirty dancing with long-term girlfriend Kasi Bennett.

He also gushed about the Jamaican model on social media.

Usain posed with a magnum of champagne at the club, which was decked out in his honour with a running track and a silhouette of him in his trademark lightning-bolt celebration pose.

A partygoer said: “Usain looked like he was having the time of his life. The staff even wore Usain Bolt T-shirts.

“He and Kasi looked so loved up too. He couldn’t stop admiring her and taking photos.”

The Jamaican partied the night before at the nearby Libertine club and put on the same devoted show.

He’ll be swapping the track for the aisle in no time.

 

Strong Bond hint

DANIEL CRAIG has all but confirmed he’ll be returning as 007. I revealed this month the actor is on the verge of signing up for two more James Bond movies after meetings with producer BARBARA BROCCOLI.

Speaking for the first time since my story, Daniel said he would enjoy playing the super spy for the fifth time, once the official announcement is out.

He said on US radio: “I’m not holding out for more money or anything. It’s all very personal decisions to be made at the moment.

“I know they’re desperate to get going and I would, in theory, love to do it, but there is no decision just yet.”

His tux is being ironed now in anticipation.

Louisa apologised to fans on Saturday, saying she was gutted her voice had “more or less gone”.

But she was more cheery as she posed with pals, including X Factor’s CHLOE PAIGE.

At least she’s keeping hydrated.

 

Tom Jones sells £9m house

TOM JONES has finally spotted a fellow fan of leopard print.

The singer and coach on The Voice has sold his Beverly Hills mansion, where he spent his last years with late wife Linda, for £9million. He put the five-bedroom property – famous for its eye-popping animal-print interior – on the market in April, a year after Linda died.

His local interior designers will have their work cut out replicating that look.
