Nadine Coyle shares fun throwback snap with late friend and Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding

Nadine Coyle has shared a fun throwback snap with late friend Sarah Harding six months after her death.

The pair, who were both members of Girls Aloud, are seen in the photo enjoying themselves on a night out with a friend, Belfast Live reports.

Nadine sports a pout on the left side of the old picture while cheeky Sarah pokes her tongue out between her fingers.

Posting the image on Instagram, the 36-year-old Derry native said: "I don't know when or where this was but I know we were having a good time!!"

One fan commented: "This picture is everything. What lovely memories you treasure!"

A friend added: "Nadine you need to teach me that POUT."

Last year, Nadine opened up on how "awful" life had been since the passing of her former bandmate who passed away in September 2021 following a devastating breast cancer diagnosis.

Speaking on the Ryan Tubridy Show on RTE Radio One in October at the same time she was shooting 'Last Singer Standing', Nadine said: "It feels like it's been a really traumatic year and a half, almost two years at this point now.

"It's just, it's a cruel, cruel disease and I know many people suffer with it and I wish everybody all the best. We definitely lost a great one there.

"She was unbelievable. Me and Sarah have been close and always remained close. We were a great support for each other in the band and for years after.

"I was so close to her you know in life... There's definitely been things, she's made her presence known a few times. And as I was shooting the show, it was right in the middle of it all and people were so kind and have been so lovely.

"My eyes started to swell, I think my body just was rejecting to what was happening and everyone was so, so kind."

Shortly after Sarah's passing, Nadine posted an emotional tribute on Instagram. It read: "One week without you!! Thinking of you all day everyday & trying to imagine how your new journey is going. Please feel free to come visit me anytime.

"I know lots of people will want some Sarah spirit time so I can wait my turn. I hope you now know how much you are loved & how you impacted so many lives by being wholeheartedly yourself.

"Always an inspiration, always a shining light & always my friend!!"
