Nadine Coyle invites Sarah Harding's spirit to 'visit her anytime' in emotional tribute

Nadine Coyle marked a week following her former bandmate Sarah Harding's death on Sunday by inviting her spirit to "visit (her) anytime".

The Irish singer posted a series of throwback photos of her and her late Girls Aloud bandmate on Instagram on Sunday to mark one week since Sarah's tragic death, and in the caption, she called her "a shining light" and asked to receive a visit from the star's spirit.

"One week without you!! Thinking of you all day every day & trying to imagine how your new journey is going," she wrote. "Please feel free to come visit me anytime. I know lots of people will want some Sarah spirit time so I can wait my turn. I hope you now know how much you are loved & how you impacted so many lives by being wholeheartedly yourself. Always an inspiration, always a shining light & always my friend!!"

Sarah was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2020, and in March, she confirmed that the disease was terminal. Her mother Marie issued a statement on 5 September announcing the singer had passed away at the age of 39.

In response, Nadine told her Instagram followers she was "absolutely devastated" by the news.

"I can't think of words that could possibly express how I feel about this girl & what she means to me!! I know so many of you will be feeling this way. For now, I'm sending so much love to you!!!" she continued.

Her former bandmates Cheryl, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh also expressed their sadness on social media.
