Sarah Harding Girls Aloud Cancer Breast Cancer Cheryl Londoner Nadine Coyle Nicola Roberts Olly Alexander Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal

Former members of Girls Aloud are to host a fundraising gala for cancer research next month in honour of their late bandmate Sarah Harding. The singer, originally from Stockport, died aged 39 last September after revealing she had breast cancer which had spread to other parts of her body.

The Primrose Ball will be held at The Londoner hotel in central London on October 8, with performances from the likes of Olly Alexander and a live auction which includes an original canvas depicting the pop star by artistic duo the Connor Brothers.

The charity gala will raise funds for the Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Cancer Research UK, as part of the Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal. Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle and Nicola Roberts will host the event, with Fearne Cotton presenting and broadcaster Johnny Gould hosting the auction.
