Sarah Harding “cried hysterically” on her way to rehab.
The Girls Aloud singer felt “ashamed” and “embarrassed” about visiting a US treatment centre in October to seek help for depression and alcoholism, but it was her bandmates who first made her realise she had a problem.
She said: “The day I left for rehab, I was in such a mess. I’ve been told by those close to me that was when I hit my worst.
“I was crying hysterically. I felt ashamed, embarrassed, terrified – my emotions were all over the place.”
Speaking about seeing her bandmates Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh for dinner after a drunken previous night, she added: “I saw Nicola and Kimberley for dinner. I wasn’t in a good state at all – I was very hungover. But the first thing I wanted to do was open a bottle of wine. I know they were really worried about me.”
The blonde beauty’s drinking escalated out of control when her relationship with former fiance Tom Crane began to take a turn for the worse.
She explained to Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “Our lives had started to go in different directions without us even realising and we’d become like passing ships.
“He had his career, I had mine, and somehow they didn’t seem to marry up. As far as our future plans were concerned, I didn’t see how it would work.
“I was so down but I just tried to keep busy and, to numb myself, I was drinking more. It was my way of escaping.”
Sarah – who checked out of rehab last month – believes she has turned her life around and is confident she can cope in social situations without alcohol.
She explained: “I’ve turned 30 now and, although there will always be a bit of the rock chick in me, I’m trying to embrace my softer and more feminine side. I’ve realised I can socialise without booze.”

Cheryl Cole’s malaria battle “opened” her eyes to healthy living.
The former X Factor judge caught the disease after visiting Africa last year with then-boyfriend Derek Hough, and although she was in hospitalised she insists it did benefit her as it made her focus more on the important things in life.
She said: “It opened my eyes to health and things I hadn’t focused on before. It’s now less about work, work, work and more about taking time to chill and be with my friends and family.”
The 28-year-old singer was left bed-ridden by the effects of malaria and she has revealed the disease “ate away” her muscles and turned her complexion yellow.
In an interview with InStyle magazine, she said: “I was yellow because of my kidneys – it was a bit like jaundice. It was hard to find a matching foundation, let me tell you!
“I had to take good care of myself and I was told to stop exercising and to gain weight to get well. I just ate everything.”
Meanwhile, Cheryl is planning a girly holiday with her Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding after the blonde star completes her rehab treatment in the US.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Cheryl has been there for Sarah massively. They’ve had some heartfelt conversations on the phone. Cheryl can identify with Sarah because she’s hit rock bottom in the past too.
“It’s been a long time since they’ve spent real quality time together so they’ve decided to jet off for a break. They thought America will be best as they can slip under the radar out there. Obviously it will be a wholesome holiday.”

Cheryl Cole has visited Sarah Harding in rehab.
The ‘Promise This’ singer is “pulling out all the stops” to help her Girls Aloud bandmate – who checked into an American treatment facility in Arizona earlier this month to receive help for depression and alcohol addiction – and the brunette beauty has even invited her to stay at her Los Angeles home to escape from the UK when she checks out.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Cheryl is really concerned for her friend Sarah. She made time in her busy schedule to travel over to Arizona and visit her in the rehab centre.
“Cheryl feels really passionate about alcohol and drug abuse after years of worrying about her drug addict brother Andrew.
“She has told Sarah she is more than welcome to use her LA home as an escape pad when she comes out of rehab. A bolt-hole where Sarah can chill out and escape the London limelight and maybe try to save her relationship with Tom.”
Sarah – who called off her engagement to DJ Tom Crane in the summer – has reportedly extended her stay in rehab and is unlikely to be out in time for Christmas.
Girls Aloud member Kimberley Walsh recently revealed 29-year-old Sarah is doing “really well” on the programme.
She explained: “I don’t want to go into detail about Sarah, but she’s doing really well.”

Sarah Harding has checked into rehab for to be treated for “depression and alcohol addiction”.
The Girls Aloud singer is struggling to deal with the break-up of her relationship with fiance Tom Crane in September and has decided to book herself into an unknown rehabilitation facility abroad after hitting “rock bottom”.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “She’s been through a traumatic time in her personal life and had to honour her work commitments on top. She needs some time out to clear her head.
“Splitting from Tom has played a huge part in her decision to seek help. She has hit rock bottom.”
Sarah, 31, was due to marry next summer, but the couple decided to separate after a number of arguments.
Since then, friends have urged the blonde beauty – who has been dating Tom for four years – to deal with her issues by seeking help, but she continued to “bury her head in the sand”.
The source added: “It all just got the better of her. She had been with Tom for a long time. All her plans for the future suddenly came crashing down.
“Some of her closest friends had suggested she seek help over the last few months, but she refused.
“She was burying her head in the sand, but now she is getting support.”
A representative confirmed: “Sarah Harding has entered a treatment centre for depression and alcohol addiction.”

The late Amy Winehouse’s prodigal god-daughter, Dionne Bromfield, has been confirmed to be performing at the LOOK magazine fashion show during London Fashion Week, for the same show that Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding is making her catwalk debut in.
This isn’t Dionne’s first taste of the fashion world, because she’s already the face of the streetwear brand Gio Gio. Last year Diana Vickers performed at the LOOK catwalk, so Dionne is following in the footsteps of other quirky, up-and-coming singers.
We’ve always loved LOOK fashion shows for their ability to turn regular high-street clothes, style them cleverly and turn the whole thing into a proper fashion event. The magazine uses some of the UK’s best-loved high street brands such as Urban Outfitters, Miss Selfridge, River Island and Oasis.
Ali Hall, Editor of Look, said: “The Look Show has become an established part of London Fashion Week and readers absolutely love it. We’re thrilled to be working with Westfield to make this season’s show bigger and better than ever, and to be part of such an exciting retail launch.”
Good luck, Dionne, though you don’t need it – you’ll be amazing.

Sarah Harding says having lip fillers was “a big mistake”.
The Girls Aloud star was pictured earlier this year with unusually plump lips and she has now admitted to getting them cosmetically enhanced and regrets her decision to alter her features, saying it was a “very silly thing to do”.
She told Fabulous magazine: “It’s not something I’m going to be trying again, or anything I would recommend to anyone else.
“Around Christmas I got a little bit experimental and decided to have some filler in my lips. Clearly that was a mistake. I was silly, it was a very silly thing to do.”
However, the 29-year-old singer-and-actress has denied having Botox to prevent wrinkles on her face and claims her plump-lipped look was the result of a bad reaction to the procedure.
She added: “Thankfully they have gone back down now.”
Sarah also admitted she underwent the procedure because she has started to feel more insecure about her lips as she gets older.
She confessed: “It was a case of approaching my 30s and not feeling confident about that. It was something that was on my mind a lot.”
Although Sarah is known for her trim figure, she is also working hard with a personal trainer ahead of her wedding to DJ Tom Crane, 31.
She said: “I’m getting there. I’m working out with an amazing trainer and feel so strong and healthy at the moment.”

Sarah Harding has chosen the venue for her wedding.
The Girls Aloud singer – who got engaged to DJ Tom Crane on New Year’s Eve 2010 while on holiday in the Maldives – has booked Cliveden House in Berkshire, England, for her nuptials this summer.
According to The Sun newspaper, the pop star has arranged for a ferry to transfer guests from London to the palatial mansion before flying out from Heathrow airport the next day for her honeymoon in Ibiza.
While guests at the wedding are set to include bandmates Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicole Roberts, one person who won’t be invited is her father John Harding who Sarah says is “dead” to her.
She said in an interview with Live magazine: “My father is dead to me – I can’t forgive him. 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.”

Sarah Harding has electric facials to stop her from getting spots.
The Girls Aloud singer keeps her complexion blemish-free with a special beauty treatment from cosmetic company Guinot which uses an electrical current to treat your skin.
She said: “The Guinot facials are amazing. They do an amazing Micro-Derm facial that has this electrical current that runs through your skin. It’s magnetic and makes this buzzing noise. It really helps with your spots and balances out your skin.”
The 29-year-old star doesn’t only pamper her face, she also uses hot stones to keep her body looking great.
She added: “I also love a good massage – especially with hot stones. I love everything about spas and spending days getting pampered.”
Sarah – who is engaged to DJ Tom Crane – is taking her beauty regime more seriously the older she gets because she wants to stay looking young.
She said: “I’ve started looking after myself a bit more than I used to. I’m getting regular facials and massages, trying to eat well – that sort of thing . When you’re in the public eye you’re always going to scrutinise yourself. You want to look a certain way and try to maintain that and it’s difficult.”

Sarah Harding loves cooking for her fiance.
The Girls Aloud star and her partner Tom Crane moved out of London and into a house in the English countryside in 2009, and s she loves to spend her time creating culinary treats in the kitchen.
She said: “I like my food too much to be that thin. I try to keep in shape but me and Tommy love cooking. Now we’re out of London I do a lot more home cooking. Spaghetti Bolognese is my speciality. I love pasta and bread – all the wrong things unfortunately.”
However, Sarah spends many evenings eating alone because Tom’s DJ career means he works nights, but the 29-year-old singer-and-actress still cooks enough for two and always finishes off the lot.
She added to Look magazine: “I try to balance out what I eat but I don’t see Tommy a lot of the time in the evenings because he’s working so I end up cooking enough for two people, then eating it all. I can’t leave it or throw it away.”
