Sarah's Going Solo

Girls Aloud singer SARAH HARDING is swapping her Prada bags for a rucksack.

Sarah, 26, has revealed that she is going to travel the world to take a break from her hectic lifestyle.

The slim blue-eyed blonde, who last week rekindled her relationship with boyfriend DJ TOM CRANE, said: "It's all just getting too much for me so I am going to sell up my home and escape abroad.

"I want to see the world, go travelling for a bit to reflect and clear my head." Sarah's gaunt appearance has attracted comments during her recent gruelling sell-out tour with band members CHERYL COLE, NADINE COYLE, NICOLA ROBERTS and KIMBERLEY WALSH.

On Friday night the girls were on the road again - this time with a special one-off concert at Warwick castle in the Midlands featuring their hits like Sexy No No No and Call The Shots.

But Sarah, who lives in Camden, North London, UK is already making plans for when the band splits.

The blonde who appeared as a naughty schoolgirl in last year's St Trinian's movie said: "I'm going to enrol in acting classes again. I did that before the band started."
