The iconic girl band, Girls Aloud, are allegedly making a comeback. According to The Sun, Cheryl Tweedy, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh have met up in secret to record a new song that will be dedicated to their late bandmate Sarah Harding, who died from cancer in 2021.

The band are said to have arrived at a music studio in North London, with each girl in a separate car wearing hats and sunglasses to maintain a low profile.

There are also talks of a tour next year for the group.

A source said: “This has been one of the best-kept secrets in pop, but it’s actually happening now.

“The girls really came back together as friends to rally around when Sarah died, and it repaired some of the old rifts and put things into perspective. Suddenly the reunion which had seemed totally impossible for so long just felt a totally natural thing to do — in Sarah’s honour.”

An insider added: “They’ve got a single and a video in the can, plans for a full record of new music, and for the fans the most exciting thing will be a massive reunion tour in 2024.

“It’s going to be huge — and they’re all very excited to be back working together, even if there is a bittersweet element to it.

“Of course, whatever they do, there will always be nods to Sarah’s contribution to the group, too.”

The girls found their fame in 2009 after competing on Popstars: The Rivals and winning the show. They went on to become one of the UK’s biggest groups, selling millions of records, four No 1s, and five BRIT Award nominations.
