Girls Aloud make rare appearance together as they reunite for star-studded wedding
GIRLS Aloud have left fans shocked as they reunited at a celebrity wedding.
The former girl band that dominated the charts from 2002-2013 to joined forces again for a special occasion.
Cheryl, 40, posed alongside her Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle, and Nicola Roberts at the wedding of their PR friend Simon Jones.
Simon is a major publicist in the UK, working with celebrities such as Ant & Dec, N-Dubz, Little Mix, and Raye.
Cheryl wore an olive green maxi gown with a cape at the back.
Nicola matched in a green silk and lace gown with a plunging v-shape neckline.
Kimberly looked gorgeous in a white dress with red roses on it.
Meanwhile, Nadine looked sophisticated in a white shirt dress with a beige belt.
There were performances from Alesha Dixon and Perrie Edwards, as well as Myleene Klass who showed off her piano skills.
Girls Aloud broke up in 2013 and was made up of the four girls and Sarah Harding, who sadly died of breast cancer in 2021.
They did, however, reunite for the special occasion and posed for a group picture with Arthur Gourounlian.
The last time to girl group reunited was in December, 2022 when they got together to raise money for the charity in the name of their late bandmate Sarah Harding.
Sarah, who achieved 21 top ten singles including four No1’s with the group, died aged 39 last September following a breast cancer diagnosis.
Nicola Roberts, 37, revealed the news as she shared photographs with her bandmates Cheryl Tweedy, 39, Kimberley Walsh, 41, and Nadine Coyle, also 37, at the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
The singer shared a picture of the group backstage at the BBC with the caption: “When your girls bring you so much Christmas love.
“So nice to have them in the audience at Strictly to support me.
“We’re ending our year with so much gratitude in our hearts as we’ve managed to raise over one million pounds for research into breast cancer – as requested of us by our Electric Girl Sarah.”
She added: “We think of you and miss you every day Sarah.”
Nicola was beaten to the Strictly Silver Star trophy by former Coronation Street actress Alexandra Mardell.
Alexandra scored a perfect 40 with her pro partner Kai Widdrington as they danced a quickstep to Sleigh Ride by the Ronettes.
Hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, and keeping an eagle eye on every festive footstep are the judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and head judge, Shirley Ballas.
The Christmas special started with a sensational group routine to a festive medley of Let It Snow, The Nutcracker Suite and Santa Claus is Coming to Town, featuring the celebrities and their professional partners. Each couple then took to the dance floor to perform their individual seasonal routines.
Once all couples had danced, the studio audience voted for their favourite and their votes were combined with the judges’ scores to decide the winner.
Tess and Claudia announced Alexandra and Kai as the Christmas champions before presenting them with the sought-after Strictly Silver Star trophy.
The final sprinkling of glitter was a special musical performance from the one and only, former Strictly Come Dancing judge, Bruno Tonioli.
