SARAH HARDING made an extravagant entrance to yesterday’s Henley Regatta – arriving by helicopter and delaying a race by half an hour.

The Girls Aloud beauty was a star guest at the Mahiki-themed event, complete with a tropical riverside bar and a Tiki themed Beach Grill.

Sarah was quick to get involved, taking one of the sumptuous Gallo Rosito cocktails with her on a boatride.

She later watched on intently as boyfriend TOM CRANE DJ’d.

A source said: “Sarah was full of apologies for being late.

“It was quite windy and consequently the helicopter was delayed.

“She got stuck into the drinks and was in very high spirits.”
