Cheryl reunited with Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts on stage during her Mighty Hoopla performance.
The singer headlined the day festival at London’s Brockwell Park on Saturday and was joined by Nicola for a performance of her breakout hit Fight For This Love.
Although the show was the pair’s first public performance since Girls Aloud’s 2013 ‘Ten’ greatest hits tour, the duo have remained close pals and collaborators.

Most recently, Nicola co-wrote Cheryl’s 2018 single Love Made Me Do It, 2019’s Let You, and her to-be-released fifth studio album.
The reunion proved bittersweet, falling the day before the tragic passing of bandmate Sarah Harding, 39, following a battle with breast cancer.
Both singers paid tribute to the star with posts on their Instagram pages, with the Promise This singer admitting she’s “at a loss for words that our stunning, unique, crazy, quirky, kind and soft hearted girl has departed.”
“I wanted to make sure you knew just how much your love and continued support meant to Sarah through her most vulnerable times,” she penned. “She was so grateful and you really lifted her spirits when she needed you most… I love you Sarah… farewell.”
