Cheryl Cole has announced that she is definitely not leaving Girls Aloud, despite fans worrying she was out.

The rumours she had left the band began when the singer flew to Denmark and appeared on the Danish version of the X Factor.

In a TV interview Cheryl described Girls Aloud as “a girl group I WAS with for seven years”.

But a band spokesperson has reassured fans that Cheryl is still in the pop band.

The most positive thing to come out of Cheryl Cole’s right bum of a week is the fact that she’s found out who her true friends are.

As Cheryl knows only too well, when you have a high-profile job which is tough and relentless in terms of the stress and emotion spent, and time it robs you of, it’s hard keeping in touch with husbands – let alone friends.

So it was heartwarming to see that her Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts (right) dropped everything to go and comfort their colleague and true mate the day after she arrived back from America and holed herself up in her broken marital home.

When you’re emotionally wrecked and playing the details over and over in your head, trying to make sense of it all, trying to squeeze some hope out of a hopeless situation, there’s nothing like your girlfriends.

Sure, Cheryl’s mum Joan is a tower of strength, as is the rest of her close, downto-earth family, but they’ll naturally side with Cheryl.

Girls Aloud have said they will be there to support friend and band mate Cheryl Cole, following the announcement regarding her separation from husband Ashley Cole.

A statement from Cheryl Cole’s public relations company Supersonic PR has announced: “Cheryl Cole is separating from her husband Ashley Cole. Cheryl asks the media to respect her privacy during this difficult time.”

Following her return to Britain from LA this morning, Cheryl is going to need all the support she can get from close friends and family to see her through the break-up. Prior to the official announcement, the singer was being comforted in LA by dancer and friend Derek Hough.

Now back on British soil, Cheryl is turning to her mum and fellow Girls Aloud members for a shoulder to cry on.

As reported on Sky News, the ladies in Girls Aloud have said they are supporting the singer in private and will not be making any public statement regarding recent events.

Girls Aloud member Kimberly is one of the closest to the star, having previously helped Cheryl pick her final acts for the X Factor and also turning up to support her during her recent BRIT Awards appearance. It is believed she will be a key player in seeing her through this emotional period.

Oh Dear, Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh does not seem happy with fellow bandmate Nadine Coyle.
Singer Kimberley Walsh made a subtle dig at bandmate Nadine Coyle by blaming her for holding up the release of the next Girls Aloud album.

Kimberley Walsh is presently trying to get the group – which also includes Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts – back together to start work on a new, more mature LP, but Nadine is in Los Angeles working on the release of her solo album.

Kimberley, 28, said: “I miss the girls. The plan is… Well, basically, Nadine needs to come over from Los Angeles. We need to chat and book it in because there are five people’s diaries to work around, rather than just one.”

Nadine has been working with Robbie Williams’ former songwriting partner Guy Chambers on her record, as well as writing songs for the album herself.

Nadine recently said: “I’ve been writing my own songs and I’m hoping to release it in the spring. I wrote nearly all the songs myself. It’s quite embarrassing when you start songwriting because you are opening yourself up, I think people are going to like the album though.”

Kimberley also played down rumours Girls Aloud – who are currently on a year hiatus – could split permanently now Nadine and Cheryl have started solo careers, Sarah has become an actress and Nicola has launched a make-up range.

She told Metro: “We signed up for three albums before we took the break. We always have to take it up a level and bring out new and exciting stuff. The things we’ll be singing about will be quite different this time around.”
