X Factor star Talia Dean says she spoke to the late Sarah Harding 48 hours before her tragic death.
The Girls Aloud singer passed away on Sunday aged 39 followed a battle with breast cancer that had spread to her spine.
Sarah’s heartbreaking death was confirmed on her official Instagram page by her beloved mum, Marie Hardman, who described the singer as her “beautiful daughter”.
The pop star had fought her cancer until the end, passing away one year after first sharing her devastating news with her doting fans.

Talia made it through to the live shows of the ITV signing competition The X Factor in 2017.
However, she got voted out of the competition during the second week of the finals.
In a statement posted on Sarah’s Instagram page on Sunday afternoon, her mum Marie said her death after a battle with breast cancer had caused “deep heartbreak.”
