Sarah Harding on Loose Women

Sarah Harding shocked viewers last month when she was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother despite being very unpopular with her fellow housemates, due to the fact they thought she was 'using' boyfriend Chad Johnson for camera time.
Well now, two weeks on from her victory, the former Girls Aloud star has appeared on Loose Women and opened up about THAT romance with The Bachelorette star Chad.
Despite Sarah having a short term relationship with a man on the outside before entering the CBB house, Sarah and Chad couldn't keep their hands off each other during the show, with bosses even receiving Ofcom complaints for their saucy antics.
Chad even told the 'Love Machine' singer that he loved her! So we were expecting Sarah to maybe announce wedding plans when she appeared on Loose Women yesterday.
When the panel asked her how things are going with Chad, Sarah said, "It's going okay." She then added: "He's gone back to LA now so I don't know."
Sarah also hinted that she had plans to visit Chad in America as much as possible, adding, "I've got some work possibly lined up in L.A. in the next few weeks.
"I might be back over there, who knows. We spent a week together outside the house, but we've got our own lives to get on with. I'm still acclimatising and getting used to real life again, I still can't get my head around everything."
Admitting she is still very close to Nadine Coyle, Sarah said she doesn't get to see the other girls very much due to the fact they are all very busy with their own lives. She said, "A lot of them are all busy with their families and they've been getting married, so it's quite hard, especially when we are all busy."
After Nicola Roberts seemed to have a sly dig at Sarah on her Instagram page when she called American girlband Fifth Harmony 'slutty', Nadine showed her support for her friend throughout her whole stay in the CBB house.
When Sarah was receiving criticism for her behaviour in the house, Nadine tweeted, 'Inside info on Sarah. She is a very natural being. She dwells on her feelings & acts on them. It is what makes her so unique.'
She then added, "Those of us who know & love her know that. The support from you guys will mean the world to her!! Xx"
The Irish singer then seemed to be ecstatic when Sarah was crowned the winner of the show, expressing her delight in a number of tweets.
Sarah is the latest winner of Celebrity Big Brother, but check out all of the other winners in our gallery below:

James Hill: 2015
James Hill, anyone? ANYONE? Thought not.
Scotty T: 2016
