Sarah Harding's new tat

Someone wants to send a message...

Sarah Harding flashed her latest ink today after a marathon four-hour spa session. The troubled Girls Aloud singer now has the words "Don't be bitter - Glitter" tattooed on her back for the rest of time.

After her traumatic  break-up from fiancé Tom Crane, going through rehab for alcohol addiction, and being involved in a New Years' brawl with her ex-boyfriend, Theo De Vries, no-one can blame Sarah for needing a bit of R and R.

Personally, I wouldn't want to get a tattoo in the midst of all that emotional upheaval, but if it makes her happy, then good for her. I just hope it makes her happy in the long term. I think it looks a bit...tacky myself, but that's just personal taste.

Sarah recently commented on her problems, and she's looking forward and moving on. She said:


“I have so much to live for. I have my family and friends, my dogs, a film coming out. I still want to do music and do something solo. Now I think it's about being single and concentrating on myself and my career and who knows what the future holds”.

"I feel like I don't want to be stuck with that drunken image. I go to after-care for the extension to my rehab to keep me going. I am trying so hard. I just want to be taken seriously.”

Good for her.

"As Far As I'm Concerned, He's Gone"

Sarah Harding has spoken out about the breakdown of her relationship with her father after her parents' divorce when she was fifteen. Sarah says;

“After he and my mother divorced, he wasn’t a very nice person, and what’s done is done. Looking back, I think the split was more destructive and destabilising than I realised, because I started bunking off school and getting into trouble. I know it’s harsh, but I have no place in my life for someone like that. I came close to being in contact with him again, but he talked to the press and tried to sell pictures of me as a young girl. He’s a very selfish man and as far as I’m concerned he’s gone.”

The discussion was sparked by talk of her upcoming wedding to DJ Tom Crane, at which Sarah's father will absolutely NOT be walking her down the aisle.

It's awful to see a family so broken, but in the end, it's better to remove the destructive elements than to allow the unit to implode.
