Cheryl pokes fun at comment about Girls Aloud ageing as fans call her 'stunning'
Girls Aloud teased over a comment made by Cheryl years ago in a video that's been shared with fans on social media.
Cheryl, 40, was joined in the video by Nadine Coyle, 38, Nicola Roberts, 38, and Kimberley Walsh, 42, ahead of their reunion tour. The quartet are touring for the first time since their bandmate Sarah Harding passed away in 2021.
The clip, which was shared on platforms like TikTok and Instagram earlier this week, teased about being a certain age. A caption within the video itself read: "Imagine ... 30 odd year old ... singing 'I'm just a love machine'."
The remark references a comment made by Cheryl almost two decades ago in the reality TV series Girls Aloud: Off the Record (2006), which was unearthed a few years ago. Thinking about the future, she said at the time: "There'll be no reunions though, could you imagine 30 odd year old [singing] 'I'm just a love machine'. Nah, no thanks!"
