Celebrity Big Brother’s Sarah Harding ‘pole dances’ to Girls Aloud song and boyfriend Chad Johnson struggles to hide his excitement

SARAH Harding left Celebrity Big Brother fans cringing as she appeared to pole dance to a Girls Aloud song with a broom on Tuesday night.

The singer performed to The Sound Of The Underground - and her boyfriend Chad Johnson struggled to hide his excitement.

Chad watched her dance from the sofa, and was later accused of getting turned on by his fellow housemates.

Sam Thompson asked "Have you got any tingles Chad" and Jemma Lucy shouted "Chad's got a boner".

Chad covered up his private area with a glass of wine and denied he was feeling aroused.

Sarah's enthusiastic jiving with a broom was less exciting for viewers, and many fans flooded Twitter with cringing memes.

One wrote: "I was rooting for her, but watching Sarah has become excruciating.

Another added: "Sarah Harding murdering her own song."

"I'm absolutely scarlet for Sarah Harding" added another.

A fourth fan posted a snapshot of a pained looking Steve Carrell from the US version of The Office alongside the caption: "My level of uncomfortableness watching Sarah reenact her girls aloud days."

But the blonde singer found many fans in the house with Sandi and Derek among those busting out a few moves to her performance.

Meanwhile, #teamharding began trending on Twitter with many fans rooting for the Girls Aloud singer.

Earlier, some viewers expressed disappointment that Sandi Bogle and Helen Lederer were evicted on tonight's show instead of her.

One wrote: "Sarah is going to win #CBB and it's going to be funny because every housemate wanted her out each week."

Another added:"Funny thing is I wasn't even a Sarah Harding fan like that before #CBB now I love her!!"

A third chimed in: ";Would love to show the haters they will never make Sarah lose her fans. Like her, we are loyal."
