Sarah Harding denies she's going solo

Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding has hit out at recent reports she plans to ditch the girl group and continue on her own - insisting "I've got not intention of going solo"

The blonde pop singer 26, was reportedly in talks with record bosses about life after the band – but has released a statement on the band's website insisting the rumors are not true.

"I've just got back from an amazing holiday in Thailand to find out that I'm leaving the band," Sarah exclaims.

"Of course, I've got no intention of going solo. Why would I? Ignore the rumours, they're never true!'"

Maybe she was thinking of leaving - but changed her mind?

A source said yesterday: "The response [to a solo career] hasn’t been quite what she expected. She thought people would jump at the chance to take her on – but it hasn’t quite worked out like that."
