Harding treats Cole to spa weekend

Sarah Harding is treating Cheryl Cole to a weekend of pampering in a bid to cheer her up following her recent marriage troubles.

Harding, 26, has booked her bandmate into Ockenden Manor in West Sussex, which boasts a luxury spa, Michelin-starred food and its own peacocks roaming the grounds.

According to The Mirror, she wants Cole to have some time to relax ahead of Girls Aloud's UK tour in May.

A source said: "Sarah has been so worried about Cheryl in recent weeks and is desperate for her to return to her usual bubbly self.

"Because she's been so busy with work and filming commitments, combined with all her well-documented problems with Ashley, she's hardly had any down time.

"She's also lost a quite a bit of weight of late, what with all the stress. Sarah basically wants to get Cheryl out into the fresh air and get her totally pampered."

The insider added: "It's going to be a weekend of pure indulgence - the girls are already joking that Cheryl will emerge from the hotel needing some seriously reinforced Bridget Jones knickers!"
