Sarah HardingSarah Harding has reportedly copied her Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Tweedy by landing herself a footballer.

At Cheryl’s recent wedding to Arsenal star Ashley Cole, bridesmaid Sarah struck up a conversation with a friend of Ashley’s, Rotherham United player Paolo Vernazza.

A source revealed: “Sarah looked gorgeous and Paolo, an Usher, couldn’t keep his eyes off her. They spent the evening chatting and everyone said they made a lovely couple.”

“At the end of the night they kissed and swapped numbers.”

The pair had met a couple of times before but Paolo was worried she was out of his league: “Now it seems she’s just as keen as him and he can’t believe his luck,” the source added.
