Published 24th Aug 2017
It's amazing what a difference a few weeks can make in the Celebrity Big Brother house! Former Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding has gone from being loved by the viewing public to crowds shouting "Get Sarah out" at the latest eviction, and it seems the singer isn't doing anything to help herself.
During a conversation with former star of The X Factor Amelia Lily, Sarah told the singer how she thinks Cheryl played the media during her pregnancy to her boyfriend and One Direction star Liam Payne.
Cheryl and Liam chose not to publicly announce that they were expecting until the Geordie girl posed for a photo with L'Oreal, showing off her huge bump just weeks before welcoming baby Bear.
And according to Sarah, Cheryl knew exactly what she was doing. Speaking to Amelia in the CBB bathroom, Sarah said, "She just knows how to work it when she wants to, when she wants to be seen she is, and when she doesn’t, she makes sure she isn’t. Like with the whole baby thing. She just plans things meticulously."
It seems Sarah's words didn't go down to well with Cheryl's army of fans, with many taking to Twitter to call the singer 'jealous' and 'shady'.
Since Girls Aloud went their separate ways in 2013, rumours have been rife that Sarah and Cheryl have had an ongoing feud with each other.
However, before entering the show at the start of the month, Sarah admitted she wasn't going to discuss any of the pair's problems on camera. She said, "I'm a loyal friend and I'm not going to go in there and talk about what's gone on."
Bachorlette star Chad asked Sarah if she'd heard of Fifth Harmony to which she replied "Um, yes, those slutty ones? Yeah."
Chad replied: "Are they slutty?"
Sarah responded: "Yeah. They all wear next to nothing - all the girl bands do these days. Slutty, slutty, slutty. Sex sells, sex sells..."
She then spoke about Girls Aloud, saying, "Obviously, when we were touring we didn't wear much because it was so hot, but it's when they do the videos it's all, like, slut drops and twerking.
"We used to have to do proper dance routines. They just do slut drops now."
In perfect timing with Sarah's comments, Nicola posted a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a cap with the words, 'Women in music are dangerously underestimated',along with the caption, 'And that's why we have to support each other. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿'
However despite seemingly losing some fans since her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, it seems Sarah still has a strong following, with the singer making Friday night's big final.
The 35-year-old suffered heartbreak last year when she was dumped by the 'love of her life' just six months before her wedding, so viewers of the show would probably be all for her new romance with Chad if it wasn't for the complication of her having a short term boyfriend of four weeks on the outside.
Sarah told her fellow housemate Jemma Lucy that the pair weren't at all serious and she's looking forward to seeing how things go with new boyfriend Chad.

Sarah has been saved by the public during every eviction where she's been in danger, with Gogglebox star Sandi Bogle and comedian Helen Lederer being the latest housemates to be evicted on Monday night's show.
On tonight's show viewers will discover which housemate has been dumped in the last eviction before Friday's final.
