Sarah ‘kicked out over dog and cat muck’

- By ISOBEL DICKINSON

POP star Sarah Harding was thrown out of her rented house amid claims her pets pooped all over the luxury pad.

The former Girls Aloud singer was booted out of the swanky property after just six months.

Sarah, 37, was accused of causing more than £17,000 worth of damage to the house in Buckingham­shire during her short stay, which included the alleged animal mess.

The former girl band hell-raiser is a big pet lover and has three French bulldogs as well as two cats.

A source said: “The landlord asked Sarah to leave after six months, using the break clause in their tenancy agreement.

“There was a falling out on both sides and the landlord said that Sarah had caused thousands of pounds worth of damage, which Sarah disputed. Among the claims were that her pets had soiled the house and that she had let the dogs run riot.

“The furniture was all expensive high-end stuff.

“The landlord initially refused to give her back her deposit, which was nearly £4,000, but in the end she had to return some of it.” And Sarah was left struggling to find another place to live after the landlord refused to give her a reference.

The source added: “She’s found a place now but she struggled as the landlord would not provide a reference. They didn’t exactly part on good terms.”

Sarah moved to the countrysid­e in 2008 after quitting her party pad near Primrose Hill, central London, which she had during her Girls Aloud days.

She bought a house in Cadsden, Bucks, with her then fiancé Tom Crane in a bid to live a quieter life after spells in rehab. The couple split in 2011.

In 2017 she put the fourbedroo­m mansion, which had its own golf course, on the market. Since then, the ex-popstar has been living in rented property. A spokespers­on for Sarah denied her animals had caused any damage to the property.
