- Singer, 32, is on health kick but still has a treat cupboard
- Juices every day and visits juice retreats twice a year
- Enjoys cosy nights in front of TV with partner Mark
- Says new music 'speaks volumes about her personality'
She was one fifth of the biggest and most glamorous girl group in pop's history. But reflecting on her time with Girls Aloud, Sarah Harding has admitted that she was too thin.
Speaking to MailOnline, Sarah said: 'I was too skinny when I was with the girls, it was ageing.'
The 32-year-old has now adopted a much more healthy approach to her weight and, like many celebrities, has jumped on the juicing bandwagon.
Sarah Harding, posing in a new beauty campaign for Faceb4, says she was too skinny when she was in pop group Girls Aloud
'I've caught the juicing bug. I love being in the kitchen and cooking and creating juices and smoothies every day.
'I love anything green and I make my own juices packed with kale, parsley, cucumber, courgettes, apples, plus spirulina and chlorella.
'If I want to fill myself up I will add ice and half an avocado. It looks gross, but it tastes great.'
The pop star loves juicing so much that she visits the Jason Vale juicing retreat twice a year. 'It's hard, we don't eat,' she said of her time there.
Despite her love of all things green, Sarah says that she eats plenty throughout the day and loves sweet treats.

skinny look was 'ageing'
'I'm Irish, I love stodge! I'm a picker but I do try to steer clear of gluten because it bloats me, there's lots of great gluten-free alternatives though.
'I have a naughty cupboard at home with Skittles and Haribo from my fans who know I love them,' she said.
Sarah is on a mission to undo the years of late nights and has even signed up as an ambassador for anti-bacterial face wash, Faceb4.
The brand said Sarah was the perfect ambassador because she is so honest about her breakouts.
Speaking about her skin, Sarah said: ‘Travelling a lot doesn’t agree with my skin so I am obsessed with cleansing morning and night at the moment.
‘I am hooked on Faceb4, which I use before photo shoots because it removes the bacteria before applying cosmetics and keeps my skin healthy. It's also amazing after a heavy weekend!'

juicing and makes a super-nutritious green juice every morning to keep
her health in check
Aside from juicing and hitting the gym three times, Sarah is focusing on her hotly-anticipated solo career.
'I am so excited about my new music, it speaks volumes about my personality. I love writing songs but I find the recording process very monotonous and quite draining.
'I know it will be worth it in the end, it will be such an amazing sense of achievement and I hope it's well received; I'm my own worst critic.'
If there was one member of Girls Aloud who loved a good time, it was without a doubt Sarah.
But the notorious party girl says she's calmed down and now prefers to spend her evenings in a more conservative way.
'Me and my partner Mark are addicted to Breaking Bad. We watch three episodes a night and sit there munching away on popcorn together.'
Family plans: Speaking on ITV's Lorraine show yesterday, Sarah said she wasn't planning to have children anytime soon
Still a party girl at heart: Sarah celebrated her new campaign with Faceb4 at private member's club Mortons last night
Despite her cosy life with DJ Mark Foster, Sarah insists that she won't be following bandmate Kimberley Walsh and Nadine Coyles's footsteps by having a baby.
Speaking about Kimberley's pregnancy announcement, she said: 'I wasn't at all surprised, she's been with Justin for years and years but it won't be me next. I have a lot of boxes to tick before I start a family.'
