CELEB Reunion for Girls Aloud?

-

RUMOURS are rife that a shock Girls Aloud reunion could be on the cards.

And it looks like it’s Newcastle lass Cheryl who is the engineer of it all.

Girls Aloud have notched up 21 top 10 singles in the UK, 20 before their split in 2009, including Sound of The Undergroun­d, Call The Shots and The Promise, and then one with their 2012 comeback song Something New.

They are without a doubt one of the most successful British pop acts of all time and the group, who were formed on Popstars The Rivals back in 2002, could be about to return.

On Monday, singer Nadine confirmed that all the dates of her solo tour had been pulled with no plans to re-schedule and according to sources, the reason behind this is that the girls want to perform their back catalogue as a five, rather than Nadine singing their hits as a solo artist.

According to The Sun, Geordie star Cheryl came up with the idea alongside close friends and fellow band members Kimberley and Nicola.

And once they said they’d be on board, she reached out to Sarah and Nadine, with them now apparently back in regular contact for the first time in years.

After tasting plenty of success in the charts with Girls Aloud, Cheryl has had five number ones in her own right with Fight For This Love, Promise This, Call My Name, Crazy Stupid Love and I Don’t Care.

Alongside her music and TV career, she has carried out charitable initiative­s.

Earlier this year, she returned to Newcastle to officially open Cheryl’s Trust Centre. This is a collaborat­ion between the Prince’s Trust and Cheryl’s Trust, which aims to build on the work which the Prince’s Trust does in the city.

The Prince’s Trust’s goals include boosting employment opportunit­ies for young people and supporting school pupils who are at risk of being excluded.

And Cheryl’s centre pledges to “totally transform the lives of thousands of young people across the North East every year, giving them the confidence, skills and support they need to build successful, happy lives”.

It will help young people from the North East who are “at-risk”. This includes those facing drug or alcohol abuse, homelessne­ss, mental health problems and those who are leaving the care system.

The goal is to help them turn their lives around through training and confidence building.

The new venue, which includes a music studio and media hub, is based in Blandford Square, opposite the Discovery Museum. Cheryl officially opens The Prince’s Trust Cheryl’s Trust Centre in February this year
