Sarah Harding hands over her CBB prize fund to the charity

She bagged a whopping £50,000 prize fund for the charity of her choice after winning CBB last month.

And Sarah Harding looked to be in high spirits as she handed over her the eye-watering cheque to the charity of her choice on Friday. 

The 35-year-old former Girls Aloud singer embraced casual chic as she gave away the financial accolade to the military charity, Haig Housing Trust, just weeks after it was claimed she entered the show because she needed money.

 

Deed for the day! Sarah Harding, 35, looked to be in high spirits as she handed over her the eye-watering CBB prize cheque to the charity of her choice on Friday

Sarah looked absolutely sensational in her ensemble which consisted of the figure-flattering polka dot jumpsuit. 

With a chunky belt cinching in her waist and a plunging neckline, Sarah beamed as she presented the charity with the cheque. 

It’s the first time in Celebrity Big Brother history that the winner received a £50,000 for the charity of choice along with their fee.

Haig, Housing Trust is the the UK’s leading provider of accommodation to veterans and specifically wounded soldiers and servicemen and women. 

Sarah also had the honour of meeting Haig’s CEO Brigadier James Richardson and beneficiaries from the charity which was the one behind the globally successful Poppies at the Tower of London appeal in 2014.

This comes after claims that Sarah is facing financial strife, as The Sun state that the star made a loss of £40,000 on her talent management company in just one year – leading to claims she headed to the house because she ‘needed the money’.

It was also reported that the star’s talent company Underdog Management Limited made a huge loss of £39,120 between 2015 and 2016.

It has been claimed that the star ‘needed the money from CBB’ after she was injured and lost out on The Jump when she pulled a ligament in her leg and could not compete in the show.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Sarah for comment.

Ed Sheeran’s cousin Jethro, who uses the moniker Alonestar, was reported to have enjoyed a fling with Sarah and he has since spoken out about the her finances.

Speaking to Now magazine, Jethro said: ‘She needed the money. She broke her leg on the last show, so she was in physiotherapy for that and lost out on work.’

Meanwhile, Sarah is facing speculation that she’s single once again, after her beau American beau Chad Johnson, who she developed an unlikely romance with in the CBB house, deleted all traces of her from Instagram.  

And while the pair still follow each other on the photo-sharing app, a source told The Sun of the pair, who live thousands of miles apart, with him in Los Angeles and her in the UK: ‘Things are hard – they’re so far apart, and there’s the time difference too.

‘When they do speak things are tense – she’s worried he could be using the relationship for fame, he’s talked about ending the relationship a couple of times – it’s really difficult. Things are hanging by a thread right now.’
