‘I’m going to party here in Cannes’: Sarah Harding’s ’snub’ to Cheryl Cole as she chooses Grace Jones party over her bandmate’s performance
Sarah Harding snubbed bandmate Cheryl Cole’s solo performance in France, choosing instead to party the night away at Grace Jones’ birthday bash.
The Girls Aloud bandmates are currently pursuing solo careers while the group takes a break, and both have headed to Cannes where the film festival has attracted stars from around the globe to its exclusive parties.
Cheryl, 26, was alleged to have been paid £250,000 to perform at the Hotel Du Cap in Antibes, 40 minutes from Cannes, but Sarah apparently told guests at Grace Jones’ party: ‘Not travelling out there. I’m going to party here in Cannes.’
Wearing a white mini-dress with a gold sequinned collar and shoulders and gold strappy heels – Sarah made a slight faux pas when the plunging back of her dress revealed the top of her black thong (which was also visible through the light-coloured dress).
She decided to stay at the Le Baron club in Cannes with a female friend to celebrate Jones’ 62nd birthday at the Belvedere Vodka party, which some might consider a snub to her former bandmate who was less than an hour away at the de Crisogono party.
Harding was given extra incentive to stay when Jones rolled out a £1,000 chocolate birthday cake.
However, speaking to the Daily Mirror, Sarah revealed that she wasn’t overly comfortable at the plush party and was on her best behaviour at the festival, where she is aiming to network with movie contacts.
She said: ‘This isn’t really my scene, it’s all too posh for me.
‘I’m here in Cannes surrounded by super-talented A-list actresses, and everyone looks so glamorous.
‘I’ve been keeping it low key – it’s only my first year here and it’s disrespectful to all the huge stars to start messing around, getting drunk.’
She explained that she has already met up with her old St Trinian’s producers in Cannes to line up more acting work.
Sarah said: ‘I’m learning how the film market works and I’ve got some work in the pipeline.
‘I’m such a big mouth and really animated. I’ve been singing and acting since I was three years old and I’m a bit of a show-off, so getting into films seemed a natural step.’
Meanwhile, Sarah was allegedly kicked off a table on Lindsay Lohan’s orders.
A witness told the Daily Mirror: ”It looked like Lindsay had a crush on Dom and didn’t want any pretty girls near him. So she clicked her fingers and Sarah was turfed off the table by bouncers.’
