Girls Aloud set to reunite for fundraising concert in memory of Sarah Harding

Girls Aloud are set to reunite for a special fundraising event in memory of Sarah Harding, who passed away last year.

In a recent interview, singer Nadine Coyle broke the news that the girls would reunite in honour of Sarah, who died aged 39 - just one year after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Nadine will be joined by bandmates Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts for a special one-off concert to raise money for medical equipment to help diagnose cancer sooner, in memory of pal Sarah.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Nadine said: "We’re planning a night for an event to raise money in honour of Sarah.

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

"We want to raise money for a piece of medical equipment that helps diagnose cancer earlier so people can be treated. We definitely want to do something to help others."

Nadine said after Sarah became unwell, a lot of her energy became focused on her and that there were suddenly so many things happening that "were more important than anything else".

Explaining that Sarah's death has been "so devastating", Nadine said that it still affects the band "deeply, to think about everything that she went through".

However, Nadine admits it will be difficult for them all to rehearse and find a date that they are all free as she, Cheryl and Kimberley are all mums.

Nadine - who is mum to daughter Anaiya - said: "Obviously, Cheryl has Bear and Kimberley has got her three little ones – Bobby, Cole and Nate – and we were planning on getting all of the babies together a while back but never got round to it."

Opening up about Anaiya, who she shares with ex-fiancé Jason Bell, she said that her daughter knows that she's different from other mums.

She quipped: "When she was younger, she thought all of her friends’ mums were famous and that all of them get stopped on the street for a photo!"
