When Girls Aloud promised they had a big announcement to make today, our minds were racing – were they splitting up? Launching a range of Cheryl Cole 28F bras? Going on TV to do naked mud-wrestling with the former members of Bucks Fizz? No, no and, sadly, no. Instead, it turns out that they’re going on tour next year, and they’ve just announced the dates for next May – see below. “We can’t wait to get back out on the road to see our fans and play the music that we love from the past albums and especially playing the new songs in those arenas next year,” says Nadine. “We look forward to seeing you all there.” We look forward to seeing you too, Nads.
