The interview has been released on ITVX ahead of the anticipated concert film. The girl-group discussed their reunion tour which saw them tour the UK and Ireland and perform 30 shows. The pop group also admitted they never thought they would reunite “at our age” but were motivated to “fulfil Sarah's dream.”
Cheryl explained: “We were really conscious the whole time of making sure it wasn't too sad because she [Sarah Harding] wasn't a sad character, she was the bubbliest one of us all. We wanted to keep her spirit amongst it as well as representing her and having her there throughout the show, but not in a sad way. The situation is sad enough.”
