Sarah Harding’s ex Chad Johnson claims star ‘blew up’ after he followed her Girls Aloud bandmates

Sarah Harding’s ex-boyfriend Chad Johnson has claimed that she ‘blew up’ after he followed her former Girls Aloud bandmates on Twitter during their short-lived romance.

The US reality TV star, 32, has also said that he doesn’t know where she is and nobody has ‘really heard from her’ after it was reported last year she had quit fame to go into hiding. 

Sarah and Chad embarked on a brief romance after meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017, but split after struggling with the long-distance aspect of their relationship.

Talking to The Sun, Chad said: ‘I know she wasn’t very happy with the other girls. I followed some of the others on Twitter and she blew up at one point.’ 

The Bachelorette star went on to claim that Sarah ‘regretted’ her time in the famous girlband, who formed in 2002 and ended in 2013, amid reports she had a ‘feud’ with her ex-bandmates. 

Chad added: ‘It seemed she felt she’d partied so much she’d missed out on a lot of being in the moment.’

The US reality TV star also spoke about their split, revealing they eloped to her house in the ‘middle of nowhere in England’ for a week after their appearance on CBB.  

Chad said: ‘It was not very good. My ex posted a video of me cooking with her on YouTube and Sarah lost it. After that it was pretty much downhill. I think it kind of f***ed her up after our relationship — I just bailed.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Sarah Harding for comment.

A source claimed the star no longer has a manager or publicist, and her Twitter and Instagram accounts have not been updated since 2018.

They also told The Mirror: ‘She has nothing going on work-wise right now and hasn’t had anything in quite a while.’

It comes despite Sarah confirming that she was recording her debut album in California hot on the heels of her stint in the CBB house in 2017.

Sarah and Chad briefly dated after romance blossomed during their time on CBB, but split after just three months together.

Speaking about their relation on Celebrity Juice, Sarah said: ‘I didn’t actually go in there looking for anything at all, I didn’t look at him like that at all.’

The couple called it quits in November of 2017 with Sarah citing the long-distance aspect of their relationship as a factor.

She said: ‘It is with sadness that I can now confirm my relationship with Chad is over.

‘The distance has proved too much of an obstacle even though we both tried to make it work.

‘I wish him all the best for the future and thank him for the memories we shared during a very interesting summer.’
