I got into the car, I was driving to Newcastle last year and for weeks I'd been fiddling with me car to try and get the Bluetooth working and I couldn't and I was infuriated with it, I gave up.
"So I let it go for a couple of month; I got into me car and Hear Me Out was playing."
Cheryl added: "Me phone wasn't on. Me phone was NOT on! The music hadn't been fiddled with, nothing. I hadn't even plugged it in yet, it was playing through the Bluetooth, Hear Me Out."
"I laughed and then I cried...it's what she named her book after."
Sarah, Cheryl, Kimberley, Nadine and Nicola all shot to fame on ITV talent show Popstars: The Rivals at the end of 2002, all earning a place in Girls Aloud, before landing the Christmas n umber 1 with debut single Sound of the Underground
