Girls Aloud are set to make a reunion appearance and performance on Strictly Come Dancing, it has been claimed.

Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh will perform together on the BBC One series later this year.

The five girls were pictured together at the O2 Arena last night, where they were supporting Cheryl’s solo tour.

And the girls are set to support fellow bandmate Kimberley Walsh on Strictly soon, and perform on the results show too!

Of course, it’s no secret that Cheryl will want to perform on Strictly rather than the X Factor, after falling out with Simon Cowell.

An insider told the newspaper this morning: “It’s an amazing slap in the face for Simon and proves that Cheryl really wants Strictly to beat her old show.”

However Strictly doesn’t need much help.

The BBC One dancing series pipped The X Factor in the ratings on Saturday night as both shows went live.

And while Strictly enjoyed some of its highest ratings ever, The X Factor was down almost 2 million viewers on last year’s equivalent episode.

Strictly Come Dancing 2012 continues next Saturday night on BBC One, with all of the celebs performing their second dance. The first results show will follow on Sunday, with one celeb getting the boot!
