Friendships between the Girls Aloud members have been fractious ever since the group’s split in 2013. Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Cheryl have all stayed close, while Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding seemed to be ostracised.
But now it seems at least two members have buried the hatchet as Kimberley has revealed she’s made up with Nadine.
The 38 year old said in a recent interview, “I speak to Cheryl and Nicola all the time anyway, but I have been in touch with Nadine and Sarah, too. Lockdown has been a time for reflection.
“Nadine and I were chatting the other day and we’re going to get the kids together as they haven’t met yet.”
Nadine has a six-year-old daughter, Anaíya, with ex-fiancé Jason Bell, while Kimberley shares sons Bobby, five, and Cole, three, with husband Justin Scott.

1 of 8The Sound Of The Underground
I am living for Nicola Robert's side-pony.
2 of 8No good Advice
More attitude than a teenage girl experiencing her first dose of PMS.
3 of 8See The Day
Circa See The Day, Lily Allen had convinced everyone that vintage prom dresses were cool. How? Who knows. Add in that Amy Winehouse had made the case for peep-toe heels and you can see how this artwork came to life.
4 of 8Chemistry
Am I looking at the most awkward artistic rendition of Stepford Wives, or is that just me? And can someone please explain why they are using knee-high heeled boots as stockings?
5 of 8Love Machine
I can practically hear the art director shouting: 'play with your sunglasses more'.
6 of 8Biology
I call this 'Attack of the Gok Wan styling school'. Those cinched belts and lingerie-inspired outfits may have been aiming for Dolce & Gabbana, but they landed closer to Lipsy.
7 of 8The Promise
In moments like this, I always feel sorry for Nicole as this is proof that until very recently make-up artists had no clue what do with red heads.
8 of 8Can't Speak French
Between the powdered make-up, stiff corseting and dodgy Moulin Rouge theme I've come up with a conspiracy theory: this isn't a group shot, it's a work of photoshop mayhem
Kimberley has obviously been ruminating on a reunion with her former bandmate for a while, as she admitted bumping into Nadine in March.
At the time she said, “[I saw Nadine] in London and it was so nice to catch up with her. It’s been a while. We just bumped into each other at an event. It made me feel nostalgic.”
And it’s a good job the ladies have decided to make up, as we’re edging closer to GA’s 20-year anniversary in 2022. Both Kimberley and Nadine have hinted at the potential reunion, although Kimberley said, “It’s a long way off still.”
