Nadine Coyle joins Girls Aloud bandmates for Sarah Harding ball

Nadine Coyle reunited with her Girls Aloud bandmates this weekend for a special fundraiser in honour of Sarah Harding.

Nadine joined bandmates Cheryl Tweedy, 39, Nicola Roberts , 37, and Kimberley Walsh, 40, to host the charity fundraiser in London, which was at the request of Sarah before her death.

She wanted to raise money for the Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Cancer Research UK as part of the Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal.

The band, who hosted the Primrose Ball, decided against performing as it "wouldn't feel right" without Sarah. The ball was named after her lyrics in Girls Aloud's chart topper The Promise - in which she sings: "Here I am, walking Primrose".

The night was presented by Fearne Cotton with Johnny Gould hosting a live auction. It also featured performances from the likes of Years and Years' Olly Alexander, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, and The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde.

Ahead of the event, her former bandmates said in a statement: "We are so grateful to The Londoner for hosting the Primrose Ball at their wonderful hotel."

"Charles Oak, hotel director of The Londoner, and Sarah had a very special bond and holding her gala evening there will make the night even more special," they added.

"Our hope is to raise a huge amount of money that will hopefully prevent other people finding themselves in the same terrifying situation Sarah found herself in."

On the night, Nadine looked stunning in a bright pink dress, while Kimberley rocked a silky burnt orange dress that was cinched at the waist.

Before the event, Nadine posted a picture of Sarah on her Instagram story, writing: "Tonight is the night we celebrate our beautiful Sarah Nicole Harding!!"
