Yahoo News Did Nicola Roberts just throw shade at former Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding?
After entering the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this month, former Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding has not been having the best of times.
The singer has locked horns with most of her housemates, especially controversial Jemma Lucy, and been blasted for blowing hot and cold when it comes to US star Chad Johnson.

However, Sarah hit the headlines the hardest when she was accused of ‘slutshaming’ girl group Fifth Harmony in a candid chat with Chad.
The 35-year-old star shocked viewers when she slammed the American group’s style, saying: “They all wear next to nothing – all the girl bands do these days. Slutty, slutty, slutty. Sex sells, sex sells.
“We used to have to do proper dance routines. They just do slut drops now.”
Now Sarah’s former bandmate, Nicola Roberts, has seemingly made a thinly-veiled dig at the CBB contestant, posting an empowering image to her popular Instagram account.
And that's why we have to support each other. ✊✊✊✊✊

In the picture, a woman is wearing a cap that reads: “Women in music are dangerously underestimated”, with Nicola adding in the caption: “And that’s why we have to support each other”, followed by a series of fist emojis.
The post was quickly liked by fellow Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh, with many of Nicola’s followers calling her out for shading Sarah.
One wrote: “I wonder if this is aimed at your former bandmate?”

Another added: “Good for you, Nicola – being against slut shaming unlike Sarah who slut shamed on TV.”
Sarah previously admitted that she is not on speaking terms with most of Girls Aloud, with Cheryl, Nicola and Kimberley, on the other hand, maintaining an incredibly close friendship.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
