Girls Aloud made their FIRST public appearance since confirming their long-awaited reunion, beaming to Radio Two

Girls Aloud made their first appearance since confirming their reunion when they visited Zoe Ball’s radio show on Radio Two on Thursday morning.

Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh plan to tour in May and June 2024 to celebrate this month’s 21st anniversary since she and the late Sarah Harding won Popstars: The Rivals.

The girls put on a sensational performance ahead of their interview as they stepped into the BBC studios in a range of chic looks.

Nicola took the lead, opting for a plaid skirt suit, which consisted of a jacket with a ruffled collar and fitted waist, and knee-high brown boots.

Cheryl wore black leather trousers with a crisp blue shirt and jacket, braving the cold with a burgundy turtleneck underneath.

Next up in a pantsuit was Kimberley, who wowed in her denim two-piece with large gold buttons.

Since confirming the news, the band have revealed that they have not recorded any new music, but simply want to celebrate their back catalogue.

Cheryl revealed they had been discussing the plans for some time but scrapped the idea when Sarah, who died in September 2021, was diagnosed with cancer.

She said in a statement: “We all started talking a few years ago about the possibility of doing something to celebrate Girls Aloud’s 20th anniversary. The anniversary seemed like a natural thing to celebrate.

“But when Sarah got sick, everyone’s priorities changed. She passed away a year before the anniversary and it just didn’t feel right, it felt too soon.”

The group plans to use the tour to “celebrate” their late friend.

Cheryl added: “But now I think there’s an energy that makes it feel good. It’s the right time to celebrate Sarah, it’s the right time to celebrate the engagement and the right time to celebrate that we 21 years later, still able to do it. It’s a great honor in many ways.”

Kimberley said: “Over the past year we’ve felt this love come through – towards Sarah of course, but really towards all of us as a group.

“And I think it ignited something in all of us.” It feels like something has changed and it seems like the right time to celebrate Sarah and the 20th anniversary that we didn’t celebrate at the time.

The band hopes fans will enjoy the tour as much as they do.

Nadine said: “Girls Aloud is a band that has had such a huge impact on people’s lives. “We grew up with the band, but so did so many other people.

“So it feels like a shame for us not to do something again. We want to have this moment with the fans that we can all enjoy together.”
