Kimberley Walsh has revealed her hopes for the late Sarah Harding to watch the upcoming Girls Aloud charity walk 'in some way shape or form', following her death from breast cancer last year aged 39.
The singer, 40, will raise funds for Cancer Research UK next month when she teams up with former bandmates Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Cheryl to honour their friend with a Race For Life For Sarah 5k event, held in London's Hyde Park.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, she also discussed how Sarah's passing has encouraged many of her friends to 'check themselves' and discover their own health problems.

The walk will take place on July 24 in London's Hyde Park, with the girls encouraging fans to join the team and be part of a special tribute to Sarah.
Kimberley said: 'I think she would absolutely love the idea of everybody coming together for her and having this special moment because I think unfortunately that's what we missed.
'We were never able to create that for her while she was here and I would have loved for her to see that for herself but hopefully she will in some way shape or form.

Kimberley elaborated: 'We obviously spoke a lot with Sarah about what she would like for us to do on her behalf.
'And I know this is something she felt really strongly about, raising money, and particularly for a certain area of research that she was passionate about.
'But we never spoke about the Race For Life so this would be news to her.'
