He was spared jail but handed a restraining order after being convicted of stalking Nicola. The harassment included threatening to stab and burn her, after setting up 35 fake social media accounts to send thousands of messages.

He targeted the pop-star over four years after their relationship broke down. Nicola never replied to any of the messages but meticulously copied every message which she then handed over to police.

He was later jailed for two years and eight months after he admitted sending death threats to former BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and threatening to rape her daughter.

Earlier this month, Nicola's Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl announced they will be participating in a charity run later this month, in memory of the late Sarah Harding.

The singers will reunite with bandmates, Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle, for a fundraising campaign to honour their friend after her death in September last year aged 39.

In partnership with Cancer Research UK, the group are launching a special Race For Life For Sarah 5k event, which seeks to raise money for breast cancer research in line with a poignant and specific wish' Sarah expressed before her death.

The run will take place on June 24 in London's Hyde Park, and the Race For Life For Sarah is a special addition to the Race for Life event taking place that day.

Cheryl, Nadine and Nicola will be taking part themselves at Hyde Park, but others who can't make it - like Kimberley - are invited to join in by doing a Race For Life At Home For Sarah on the same day, or at a more convenient time.

Meanwhile, Girls Aloud are planning other fundraising activities in 2022, culminating in a huge gala dinner in the next few months, with more details coming soon.
