Her face has been the subject of speculation for months. Now, for the first time, Sarah Harding tells Beth Neil why she decided to fight the ageing process so young.
Sarah Harding has arrived armed with cake.
Not just any cake, but a deliciously gooey ginger and lemon number she’s made from scratch, all by her lovely self. Move over Nigella. The girl who was once the wildest party girl in pop has gone domestic goddess on us – and judging by the reactions of all those devouring the goods, it’s a role she’s fulfilling rather well.
“Is it all right?” she asks, a little anxiously.
OMG. It’s so much more than all right.
“Thank God! I just thought I’d bring something along for everyone. There’s a load of treacle, butter and muscovado sugar in there. I know, I know, all the bad things! But I just couldn’t resist and I absolutely love cooking.
“Honestly, my favourite birthday present last year was a food processor from Tom. I get to be like Jamie Oliver and ‘whaz’ things up!”
She’s in excitable spirits today, is Girls Aloud’s Miss Harding. Newly engaged to DJ Tom Crane, 31, she’s glowing with happiness and can’t wipe the smile off her face whenever her fiancé’s name crops up. In fact, the 29 year old’s mood is only dampened when the subject of cosmetic surgery raises its (wrinkle-free) head.
Just a few months ago, paparazzi pictures captured a very different-looking Sarah, her polished, drum-tight skin, arched eyebrows and suspiciously plump lips sparking much debate. So, what’s the story?
At first she’s wary about opening up and, perhaps understandably, attempts to deflect the question.
“I know people are going to scrutinise me because of what I do for a living,” she says. “But it’s a very personal thing. I’m not against surgery. Each to their own.”
