The gig, which lasted three months, is said to have earned her a cool \u00a31,000 per night in a timely boost to her depleted coffers. <\/p>\n Her performances prompted a bidding war from production companies keen to sign her up, though her next destination is yet to be confirmed. Elsewhere, Cheryl has joined forces with Girls Aloud bandmates, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts to launch a new company. <\/p>\n Let's Go Eskimo – a reference to the girls' monster 2004 hit, Love Machine – has been established to gather all income from the Girls Aloud empire. And it could prove the biggest hint yet that the pop stars are set to reform after a decade-long hiatus. <\/p>\n The band reunited briefly in October last year to celebrate the life of their bandmate, Sarah Harding, who died in 2021 aged 39 after battling breast cancer. One of Sarah's final wishes was for her pals to raise money for cancer charities, with the girls duly obliging by holding a fundraising ball in her honour. <\/p>\n Have you joined<\/i> <\/b>Threads?

At the time Cheryl explained: "To be honest, I\u2019ve never experienced or anticipated this grief. You know, I\u2019ve lost grandparents and a friend when I was younger but nothing like this."<\/p>\n She continued: "You feel so helpless, you\u2019ve never felt hopelessness like it, it\u2019s horrendous. So the fact that Sarah had one request that we can fulfil is great for us because it just feels like we\u2019re doing something. We felt like there was nothing we could do for so long."<\/p>\n For more of the latest showbiz and TV news from the Daily Star, make sure you sign up for one of our newsletters <\/b>here<\/b>.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31099670.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/4_Cheryl-New-Cast-Join-222-A-Ghost-Story-After-Party.jpg\")
