“When we got back together to tour at the beginning of this year, we dedicated the song I’ll Stand By You to Sarah at every show,” chimed in Nicola.

‘We went through the Girls Aloud vault and put together a version featuring Sarah’s incredible voice, so we could duet with her.’

Nadine and Cheryl called on their fans to help promote the single raising money for charity.

Money raised from each sale will go to BBC Children In Need to help provide care for more children and families across the UK.
