I can\u2019t decide.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBecause in a way it humanises you and makes people realise, actually she\u2019s just another person, just another human, and we should not be, like, adoring or idolising anybody.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBut in another way it takes away the sprinkle or magic of being, you know, a pop star, someone to aspire to or look forward for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKimberley added: \u201cGrowing up we kind of loved that, you know? I loved that I couldn\u2019t see what Kylie had for breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe group are embarking on their reunion tour, which starts in Dublin, in memory of their bandmate Sarah Harding, who died in 2021 aged 39 after her breast cancer spread to other parts of her body.<\/p>\n<p>\nCheryl fondly recalled how she still remembers the dances to all Girls Aloud\u2019s songs, adding: \u201cIt\u2019s funny because it\u2019s like muscle memory. We\u2019ve done it, it\u2019s so ingrained and we did it so many times on different tours, the same choreography, your body remembers even before your brain catches up, really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nGirls Aloud previously reunited with new music for their 10th anniversary and a second reunion was planned for the group\u2019s 20th birthday when Sarah was diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/cheryl-thankful-found-fame-social-media-1397749.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 April 2024 Cheryl is \u201cthankful\u201d she found fame along with Girls Aloud before social media and smartphones.
