Her replacement was Bryony Gordon, a 21 year old with the cutely perfect looks of a kiddie TV presenter but almost no experience as a reporter (whose mum, I'm sure entirely coincidentally, is Jane Gordon of the Sunday Mirror, the Mirror's sister paper). Now it seems that those blonde good looks just weren't enough to carry her new role off: she rather dramatically quit earlier this week after a mere two months of partying, admitting that she still felt shy about approaching the A-list. "We go to star-studded parties and Jessica and Eva go up to these famous people and chat to them as if it were nothing," she wrote in her final column. "I suppose I simply can't get used to that being a normal part of your life. It's fun, but you don't get much time to yourself as a 3am girl." There are rumours that there may be rather more to her departure story than this, but still: she's off. She continued: "We always talk about how much she loved Girls Aloud. She loved it. It was just the best time ever for her, we spoke so much about it the few months before she passed away and how much she loved it, she made us watch old videos, the things we’d done together, she always said we had an amazing time together. Amanda, you’re absolutely right, she would love that we were doing this." The actress, who is now a mum of three has opened up about her childhood in Hyde Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, and growing up in a predominantly white area. But Danielle and her sister, Melanie Brown MBE, were of mixed heritage, with their dad Martin hailing from Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean and their mum, Andrea, coming from Leeds.

She wasn’t going to make another Girls Aloud record until she got a solo deal. I feel she held us to ransom and then made her solo record deal. It’s the truth. She’s saying that we broke the band up. So there you go."We will, of course, carry on breaking the biggest showbusiness stories in the Mirror, but the changes, with the introduction of the new TV column, will ensure we make the very best use of space in the Mirror to bring our readers the content they want.” The Snapchat effect

When asked if they will be including Sarah on the tour, Nadine said: "Absolutely, she’s such a huge part of the music, such a huge part of the group, the visuals, everything that makes Girls Aloud what it is, this is so different as a four, such a different experience, as much as we can bring in Sarah and bring her energy and everything she brought." Ex-EastEnder Craig Fairbrass was at the party; a great person to talk to, I thought. I launched into my spiel about how good it was to see him, how busy he must be, how I was looking forward to seeing his next project. People normally like a bit of flattery, even from me, but Craig walked away from me in mid-"Ooh, I loved the way you played Dan, so menacing." Announcing the closure ahead of the company’s AGM on Thursday, Trinity Mirror said the new paper’s sales had fallen “below our expectations.” It added: “Whilst disappointing, the launch and subsequent closure have provided new insights into enhancing our newspapers and a number of these opportunities will be considered over time.” Her departure will be a blow for the Mirror editor, Piers Morgan, who has nurtured the column and seen it grow into one of the most popular sections of his paper.

The group rose to prominence during Piers Morgan's time as editor of the paper and was created by Morgan with Richard Wallace in response to the "ladette" culture of the 1990s.
