Harding fuels Girls Aloud split rumour
Wednesday 15 July 2009
The 27-year-old has announced she's set to leave the group for a year and is branching out into an acting career, starring in BBC drama 'Freefall' opposite 'Mamma Mia's Dominic Cooper.
She told Heat: "There's a stigma about going from singing to acting, so I have to really prove myself to people - I'm still going to do music, it's my first love; I want to concentrate on acting, but it's not going to stop me from doing some writing."
Asked if she would strip for a role she said: "Not in a sleazy way but you never know. It's not something I want to do right now, especially as I'm in a girlband on the side."
Speaking about Girls Aloud she said: "It's not fun when it feels like groundhog year. We've been on a treadmill for six years, so we needed a break. It's very difficult when there are five of you trying to make decisions. Three of you might vote to do something that two of you don't want to do, so you have to do it anyway. That can be frustrating.
"We're not splitting, we're just taking time out, we want to explore different avenues."
