Harding: 'Sugababes have sour grapes'

Sarah Harding has hit back at Sugababes' claim that they will not be asked to perform on The X Factor while Cheryl Cole is a judge.

The band recently said that the show's producers were reluctant to give them a promotional shot because they are Girls Aloud's biggest chart rivals.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Harding said: "It's bull. If Simon Cowell had wanted them on then he could have booked them. It's really sour grapes on their part, if you ask me."

Sugababe Keisa Buchanan recently claimed that the group sell "a lot more" records than Girls Aloud.
