Bikini-clad Sarah Harding soaks up the single life as her ex admits jealousy of male dancers

Sarah Harding has escaped to Dubai for a girls' only holiday following her split her DJ boyfriend Tom Crane.

The singer, dressed in a skimpy animal print bikini, was spotted sipping cocktails by the pool of a luxury five-star hotel with a female companion.

Rest and relaxation appeared to be her main concern in the wake of her heartbreak and Girls Aloud's gruelling UK tour.

It comes as Crane, who had dated Sarah for a year and shared a £1million north London home with the singer, admitted they had gone for a month without seeing each other prior to their split last week.
In an interview with Closer magazine just a day before the couple's split was leaked to the press, Tom admitted their relationship was going through a troubled time.

He said: 'Sarah’s been super-busy lately. When she was on tour, she worked every single day for 12 to 15 hours.

'The problem is, that I’m working every night DJing, and with her working every day, we never overlap.

'We have a very good sex life – but I haven’t seen her for a month.

'We both work hard and it’s a bit of a downfall as you don’t get much time together. The hours are frustrating – that’s the bad side of it.

'We don’t have that normal ‘sit down and discuss the relationship’ thing. Sarah is 26 and wants to focus on her career, so she’ll work as hard as she can, for as long as she can.'

Reports last week suggested Tom had grown increasingly jealous of Sarah's close friendship with male backing dancer Jackson Williams.

Tom admitted he did struggle to watch her cavort on stage with the hunky male dancers: 'I have to see her with all these guys every single day of the week, so it’s just all part of it.

'I just have to swallow and accept she’s got all these dancers around her.'

Just last month, Sarah spoke of her love for Tom and admitted they had discussed marriage and children.

She said: 'We have talked about children. Tommy wants loads. More than I think I can pop out.'

Sarah and Tom started dating last June, just weeks after the singer split from showbiz journalist Joe Mott.

Prior to Joe, Sarah was in a high-profile on/off romance with Mikey Green, from the now-defunct boy band Phixx, who set met on TV talent show Popstars: The Rivals, where Girls Aloud were first formed.

After the game, they slipped off for a romantic meal together in Laguna Beach.

The pair first began seeing eachother during a visit to the Bahamas in May, right after she broke up with the troubled actor Owen Wilson.

While they have tried to keep their romance low-key, they have increasingly been seen by each other's side in recent weeks.
They spent Father’s Day together in Brooklyn with Kate's son Ryder, 4, and Lance's children Luke, 8, and twins Isabelle and Grace, 6.

It turned out to be a rather unconventional family affair, with Kate's former husband, rocker Chris Robinson, also joining in the two hour brunch.

Lance, 36, who has turned his attention to anticancer charity campaigning since retiring from cycling, has developed a reputation as a playboy following a string of high profile romances.

Kate has been equally as coy, saying: 'It's better to let ... people speculate as much as they want to speculate.'

Back to the day job: Naomi Campbell returns to the catwalk after claiming she was called a gollywog

Supermodel Naomi Campbell returned to the catwalk yesterday after avoiding a prison sentence for an air rage assault on a British Airways flight.

The 38-year-old model appeared to be back to her best as she sailed down the runway at the Dolce & Gabbana lingerie at Milan Fashion Week.

Campbell had accused BA of racism, claiming cabin crew staff called her a ‘Gollywog’.

She branded the airline ‘disgusting’ – a day after pleading guilty to charges over an air-rage row.

The unrepentant star – now banned for life from BA flights – said: ‘I was called a racial name on that flight and that was part of my reaction.

‘I was called a “Gollywog supermodel”. I don’t think that’s really fair, do you?’

She spoke out before she flew to Italy on another airline.

On Friday, Campbell was ordered to carry out 200 hours’ community work for kicking and spitting at police officers.

She also screamed at the BA pilot when one of her bags went missing during chaos at Heathrow’s new Terminal 5.

But she claimed she had reacted to racist abuse by a member of the airline.

A BA spokeswoman firmly denied any racist remark had been made.

She said: ‘BA does not accept any allegations of racism.

'We have strict policies concerning dignity at work and longstanding training programmes on diversity and inclusion.’

Magistrates at Uxbridge, West London, heard how Campbell screamed and swore at BA captain Miles Sutherland after she was told about her missing bag as she sat in her £5,000 first-class seat waiting for her flight to Los Angeles to take off.

She lashed out when police arrived to remove her.

The model pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a police officer, one of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment and using threatening, abusive words or behaviour.

Magistrates told Campbell that the community service was part of a 12-month order.

They ordered her to pay compensation of £200 each to the two officers she assaulted and £150 to the captain. She was also fined £2,300.

Campbell admitted after the court hearing that she ‘took it too far’.

But she added: ‘As for British Airways, I don’t apologise. I just think they’re disgusting because there are people still waiting for their luggage.’
