She rose to fame in 2002 when she auditioned for the reality television show Popstars: The Rivals on ITV and went on to become a member of one of Britain's biggest girl bands Girls Aloud. Two years after the girls went their separate ways, Sarah Harding is back with her first solo single, Threads.
Sarah's also made her debut appearance in one of the country's best loved soaps, showing up on the cobbles of Corrie, which hasn't gone down too well with critics. Sarah joins us today to talk about her happy return to music, letting go of her Hardcore Harding reputation and she sets the record straight on the backlash that has followed her role as Joni Preston in Coronation Street.
MUSIC: Threads is out on Friday 7 August
