Sarah Harding has said Cheryl Cole decided to get her rose tattoo to cover up an older one.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Sarah said: "Rosy isn't it? It gives a new meaning to rosy-cheeked!"

When asked if Cheryl got the tattoo to cover up another one, Sarah, 31, said: "Yeah, I know what used to be there. Only I knew...and the rest of the girls!"

The Newcastle native previously revealed she has a tribal inking on her lower back as well as an inking of Tweety Pie on her bum, which she’s spoken about before.

Cheryl and Sarah are former Girls Aloud bandmates

Cheryl, 30, revealed in her autobiography that she'd had the Tweety inking done to signify the birth of her first nephew.

She wrote: "We all wanted a tattoo to celebrate the new arrival. Tony had done my first tattoo, the tribal one on my lower back, and I wanted him to have the honour of doing this one too.  'I want Tweety Pie on me bum with 'Warren' underneath,' I told Tony as I lay face down on the couch in his tattoo parlour."

If Sarah is to be believed, then Cheryl had another tattoo on her bum before she opted for the rose.

However it seems as though she wants to keep this information to herself…
