Sarah Harding Soaks Up Her Single Life In Bikini

Sarah Harding has escaped to Dubai for a girls' only holiday following her split her DJ boyfriend Tom Crane.

The singer, dressed in a skimpy animal print bikini, was spotted sipping cocktails by the pool of a luxury five-star hotel with a female companion.



Rest and relaxation appeared to be her main concern in the wake of her heartbreak and Girls Aloud's gruelling UK tour.

It comes as Crane, who had dated Sarah for a year and shared a £1million north London home with the singer, admitted they had gone for a month without seeing each other prior to their split last week.



In an interview with Closer magazine just a day before the couple's split was leaked to the press, Tom admitted their relationship was going through a troubled time.

He said: 'Sarah’s been super-busy lately. When she was on tour, she worked every single day for 12 to 15 hours.

'The problem is, that I’m working every night DJing, and with her working every day, we never overlap.

'We have a very good sex life – but I haven’t seen her for a month.

'We both work hard and it’s a bit of a downfall as you don’t get much time together. The hours are frustrating – that’s the bad side of it.We don’t have that normal ‘sit down and discuss the relationship’ thing. Sarah is 26 and wants to focus on her career, so she’ll work as hard as she can, for as long as she can.'

Reports last week suggested Tom had grown increasingly jealous of Sarah's close friendship with male backing dancer Jackson Williams.

Tom admitted he did struggle to watch her cavort on stage with the hunky male dancers: 'I have to see her with all these guys every single day of the week, so it’s just all part of it.

'I just have to swallow and accept she’s got all these dancers around her.'

Just last month, Sarah spoke of her love for Tom and admitted they had discussed marriage and children.

She said: 'We have talked about children. Tommy wants loads. More than I think I can pop out.'



Sarah and Tom started dating last June, just weeks after the singer split from showbiz journalist Joe Mott.

Prior to Joe, Sarah was in a high-profile on/off romance with Mikey Green, from the now-defunct boy band Phixx, who set met on TV talent show Popstars: The Rivals, where Girls Aloud were first formed.
