Alongside the video, which runs while Memories by Maroon 5 plays, Cheryl, 38, wrote: "Memories may be all we're left with, but they're enough to last a lifetime #Sarahs40th."

During the clip Kimberley can be heard discussing the girls' early days in Popstars: The Rivals.

She says: "Seeing this blonde bombshell running around the auditions like a madwoman."

Cheryl adds: "[She] Always stood out as her own character, and kind of a crazy one that was just unique and in her own world."

Sarah, who had breast cancer, died on 5 September, after revealing she had been diagnosed with the disease in August 2020.

At the time Cheryl wrote on Instagram: "I am absolutely devastated. I can't think of words that could possibly express how I feel about this girl and what she means to me."

Cheryl has confessed to struggling with Sarah's death and pulled out of Birmingham Pride and said she was too upset to perform.

She wrote: "Saying goodbye to somebody you spent such a massive piece of your life with is like nothing else.

"My heart is heavy, grief is such a harsh experience and an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. Questions without answers and pain without resolve, so tumultuous and constant."

And it seems that all of the girls are understandably still coming to the terms with the loss, as Kimberley recently confirmed plans for a Girls Aloud reunion have been put "on hold".

She said: "It’s not really something we’re even thinking about obviously, with the situation as it is. No one is even in that headspace right now."
