It's been two decades since Girls Aloud first formed
Today marks 20 years since British girlband Girls Aloud officially formed and the lives of Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh, Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts were changed forever.
The auditions at Wembley Conference Centre in north-west London were by invitation after potential contestants sent in audition tapes and were selected. But the show also came to Manchester to seek out more stars. The show's producer Nicholas Steinberg said: "Pete Waterman said that a high percentage of the people who got through to the second round of Pop Idol came from the North West so that shows the kind of standard we are expecting."One image, recently rediscovered shows contestants David Wheeler, 23, from Droylsden, Manchester, Bryan Nisbet, 19, from Dundee, Emma Dean, 18 from Skemersdale - and sitting in the front, a 20-year-old Sarah Harding from Hazel Grove, Stockport.
It was reported that one of Sarah's friends suggested she should audition for the show. At the time, Sarah said: "I used to be in a girl band and one of my friends, who was also in the band, rang me the night before the open auditions and asked me if I wanted to do it."I thought I had nothing to lose so we camped out overnight. I never thought I would get past the first stage, I’ve surprised myself. The whole thing is a bit surreal.
