She has maintained a low profile in recent years and changed her Twitter bio to read ‘taking a timeout’ last year.
Now Sarah Harding has returned to the social media for the first time since July 2019, sparking a delighted reaction from fans.
The Girl Aloud star, 38, shared a series of tweets after her ex Chad Johnson claimed last year that ‘nobody has really heard from her,’ amid claims she decided to ‘quit fame’ and go into hiding.

Sarah’s first post showed a gif of a T-Rex reaching out his arms saying: ‘I miss you this much’.
Captioning the tweet, she penned: ‘Lmfao….@taskmaster….#splatchat’ with several prayer hand emojis.
Noticeably Sarah als o tagged Channel 4 comedy show Taskmaster in the post, potentially suggesting that the tweet was sent in relation to the series.
Following her initial dinosaur inspired post, the blonde beauty was met with comments from delighted fans who missed her during her ‘timeout.’

The US reality TV star has also said that he doesn’t know where she is and nobody has ‘really heard from her’ after it was reported last year she had ‘quit fame’ to go into hiding.
Sarah and Chad embarked on a brief romance after meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017, but split after struggling with the long-distance aspect of their relationship.
Talking to The Sun, Chad said: ‘I know she wasn’t very happy with the other girls. I followed some of the others on Twitter and she blew up at one point.’

Reunion? Finally, Sarah retweeted a post from a Girls Aloud fan that said: ’15 years ago today #GirlsAloud opened up their amazing debut Tour ‘What Will The Neighbours Say?’. What’s your favourite track from the album?’
The Bachelorette star went on to claim that Sarah ‘regretted’ her time in the famous girlband, who formed in 2002 and ended in 2013, amid reports she had a ‘feud’ with her ex-bandmates.
Chad added: ‘It seemed she felt she’d partied so much she’d missed out on a lot of being in the moment.’
The US reality TV star also spoke about their split, revealing they eloped to her house in the ‘middle of nowhere in England’ for a week after their appearance on CBB.
Chad said: ‘It was not very good. My ex posted a video of me cooking with her on YouTube and Sarah lost it. After that it was pretty much downhill. I think it kind of f***ed her up after our relationship — I just bailed.’
MailOnline contacted representatives of Sarah Harding for comment at the time.

It was reported late last year that Sarah had ‘quit fame’ and gone into hiding following an unsuccessful music comeback.
A source claimed the star no longer has a manager or publicist, and her Twitter and Instagram accounts had been scarcely used.
They also told The Mirror: ‘She has nothing going on work-wise right now and hasn’t had anything in quite a while.’
It comes despite Sarah confirming that she was recording her debut album in California hot on the heels of her stint in the CBB house in 2017.
