Instead of sitting in a corner and deciding to feel sorry for herself and let the whole world swallow her up, Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding is facing the world head on. We spotted her this week going for a gym session and also, the best therapy, retail therapy. We caught her just as she was arriving home. Don’t ask us why there are lots of bunches of flowers outside the gate to her flat. We’re guessing they’re not all for her. And don’t ask us why Sarah went shopping in a bowler hat. Who knows? We’ve always questioned her fashion sense. Also, we do have to feel sorry for Sarah. There are lots of cameramen around and you’re trying to get into your flat as fast as you can. What is the one thing you don’t want to do? Drop your keys! Oops! Try again Sarah! Sarah has had a hard few months. Firstly she admitted that she had an alcohol and sleeping pill addiction and took herself off to rehab to address these problems. She then got herself a new boyfriend, who we spotted her looking quite happy with, but that didn’t last long. She ended up bruised and battered after a big fight with him whilst on a New Year skiing holiday in Austria. She’s also had a relapse with the alcohol. When she got home, Sarah said: “I'm just glad I survived. My drinking was out of control and I was addicted to sleeping pills. It was an awful combination. I just went mental. It took a couple of weeks to sink in and I went off the rails really badly. I've been to hell and back.” Rumour has it though that Sarah is planning to put her troubles to good use. She is going to write songs about her problems and has already started getting some words written down on paper. Sarah isn’t going to release the music with Girls Aloud, but instead as a solo artist. A source said: “Sarah’s been jotting down lyrics and writing songs for the past few months. After the year from hell in 2011, she is now desperate just to get back to her first love - music. She’s had a few meetings and is getting a lot of interest from labels but hasn’t decided which one to go with yet.” Watch this space!
