What’s that you say, Sarah? Two days to Christmas?

Sarah Harding looks excited for Christmas as she leaves her Mayfair hotel last night. The blonde stunner, 27, gave a helpful reminder that there are indeed only two days to go by flicking two fingers up for the cameras.

Meanwhile, her Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts, 23, was spotted cradling her young pug Elvis outside The Mayfair Hotel in Stratton Street. The girls have been staying there for several weeks due to their busy work schedule, so Nicola clearly didn't want to be apart from her beloved pooch, who she bought just over a year ago.

Girls Aloud are said to be taking a short break in the New year after the success of their No 1 album Out Of Control. The band are due to embark on a UK tour in May 2009 before supporting Coldplay at Wembley Stadium in September.
