Sarah Harding To Go Solo
Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding is reportedly set to follow in bandmate Nadine Coyle's footsteps and pursue a solo career.
The 'No Good Advice' hitmaker, 26, is said to be working on her first solo project and has recorded a funky track with nu-rave group the Filthy Dukes on the soundtrack of forthcoming Hollywood movie Wild Child, which stars Julia Roberts's niece, Emma.
A source reveals, "It is a really exciting project for Sarah to be involved with.
"She was chuffed to be approached and recognized as a singer in her own right.
"It's a pretty cool album with some big names featured on it including Rihanna, Robbie Williams and Nelly Furtado, so it promises to be a springboard for other things.
"Sarah's always maintained that she loves Girls Aloud and has no desire for the band to split - but that doesn't mean she's not willing to branch out."
Cheryl Cole recently provided backing vocals on will.i.am's track 'Heartbreaker', fueling rumors the band -- who shot to fame on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 -- are set to split.
