Sarah Harding feels she has a "second chance" to show people who she really is through her ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ appearance.
The former Girls Aloud singer says she has been "judged on the past" and the mistakes she has made but she now wants to show everyone her true colours.
Speaking to Big Brother in the Diary Room in a preview clip ahead of Thursday night’s (03.08.17) show, she said: "I know I’ve had my trials and tribulations throughout the years, a lot of which has been documented. I haven’t got thick skin, people don’t realise that. When that all ended, where do I go from there? This is for me getting a second chance to show people who I’ve grown into.
"I’m sick of being judged on the past to be quite frank. You learn by your mistakes and regrets. I want to make the most of this experience, it’s not every day you get another opportunity to make the most of your life."
Elsewhere in the episode, the celebrity contestants were paired together to take part in the Celebrity Big Brother 2017 Talent Show.
Sandi Bogle, Chad Johnson and Helen Lederer acted as judges whilst Sarah and Amelia teamed up to sing ‘The Promise’ by Girls Aloud.
Amelia – who once supported Girls Aloud on tour – gushed: "I’m doing a gig with a Girls Aloud member, people. I can’t get over this right now!"
Spiritual medium Derek Acorah and his teammate Karthik Nagesan were put together and they decided to call on any spirits in the Big Brother house as part of their performance.
Derek told the judges that he was hoping the spirits would move a two-pence piece that he has drawn a circle around.
He told his apprentice Karthik: "I want you to take this pen, allow it [the spirit] to come in."
Speaking about the spirit that had joined him, Derek added: "His name is Joseph, by the way … he worked here. He was aged 52 when he left his physical life.
Karthik felt the spiritual presence too, adding: "I felt a tingling feeling in my forehead. Then I started doodling … that there [in my drawing] looks like a face."
Jemma Lucy and Trisha Paytas demonstrated some of Trisha’s YouTube challenges whilst Shaun Williamson and Paul Danan put their soap pasts to good use and acted for the judges. Sam Thompson and Jordan Davies performed a strip tease for the female judges, leading them to be crowned the most talented in the house.
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ continues on Thursday evening (03.08.17).
