So, what’s the real reason Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh, Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts aren’t included in the doc?

Why aren’t Girls Aloud in the BBC’s Girlbands Forever documentary?

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Kimberley explained: “When they approached us with this idea, we were in the best place ever. We’d just done this huge tour, we never imagined in a million years it’d be as big as it was. We ended up doing five [O2 Arena] shows. At 43 I’m like ‘this is crazy, but incredible!’

“We all connected so well and had the most amazing time, so it just didn’t feel like the right thing for us to do.”

So, there you go. No major drama, the girls just weren’t in the right ‘place’ to get involved.
