Cheryl has admitted that her friend Sarah Harding ’s death “changed her perspective' on life.
Sarah tragically passed away in 2021 aged just 39 after a year-long battle with breast cancer.
The Girls Aloud singer’s death has left a hole in Cheryl’s life and has meant she doesn't take any days for granted now.
The 39-year-old has told how Sarah’s death has brought her “closer” to Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh – with the surviving band members reuniting in honour of their friend at a charity gala for the Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal last year.
Cheryl has candidly opened up about the sad passing of her friend and revealed the profound impact it has had on her.

She heartbreakingly told how she didn’t think Sarah was ready to leave this life.
“She wasn't ready to leave and I think, ‘well I'm still here’ I've got the gift of life to still live, and I'll do it with her in mind. It does shift a lot of things in your own heart.”

“We always have loved each other, obviously. But it's just a different, there's a different depth to it all now,” she told the publication.
As Cheryl makes her debut in West End play 2:22 A Ghost Story, she revealed that the Girls Aloud members "haven't spoken about anything work related for many years now".

Cheryl told how a reunion wouldn’t feel like them without Sarah because she was such an integral part and a huge character in the band.
Teasing a little glimmer of hope she said: “I've learned throughout my life you should never say never but we're just closer at the moment as friends and I love how we are right now.”
But then she added: “Work just hasn't crept in at all. We're not there yet.”
