Sarah Harding has announced she is going it alone with her first solo single.

The former Girls Aloud star – who has also just joined the cast of Coronation Street – is set to release new track Threads on August 7.

Sarah, 33, who recently appeared on Celebrity MasterChef, but didn’t make it through to the semi-finals, couldn’t contain her excitement as she made the announcement on Twitter.

Sarah follows in the footsteps of her ex-bandmates Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, who have already released solo music.
