“In a strange way it’s comforting to know that I will probably leave this world before she does; at least then I won’t have to go through the pain of losing her.
“The truth is, I can’t live without her now, she cares for me and helps me because, at times, I am too weak to help myself.”
Girls Aloud reunion for Sarah Harding
Sarah also speaks candidly about reuniting with her Girls Aloud pals Cheryl, Nicole Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh.
However, despite the reunion, in August 2020 Sarah revealed that she had been diagnosed with advanced breast cancer and that it had spread to other parts of her body.
In the book she said: “I’m just grateful to wake up every day and live my best life because now I know just how precious it is… nothing is certain anymore.”
