Sarah Harding has only gone and branded Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's rose garden arse as "ridiculous." Someone had to, to be fair. We just thought it may have been Nadine, but then again she's a bit busy with the bairn.

The 32-year-old singer - who was part of Girls Aloud alongside Cheryl's bottom for 11 years - also thinks the huge rose-print inking is meaningless.

Sarah - who isn't adverse to body art, having a phoenix tattooed on her back - told The Sun's TV magazine: "Oh God, it's ridiculous. My tattoo has meaning. I don't know what hers means." Well, it's a thorny bush?

The blonde is obviously happy to fight Cheryl for the limelight as their shows, Tumble and The X Factor, go head-to-head for Saturday night's top television ratings. OK, so Sarah's only a contestant on Tumble, but at leas she's on telly. She quipped: ''X Factor. What X Factor? Who knows if I'll tune in. Let's not talk about ITV. I'm a BBC girl these days."

Cheryl sat for three eight-hour sessions to complete her infamous tattoo, but insisted she didn't find the pain "too bad."

She previously said: "I have three tattoos, this one, one on the back of my neck (which she's getting rid of cause she's not 'Mrs Cole' anymore) and the rose. The guy that did it is a proper artist, he does oil paintings, he's unbelievably talented. It took about three 7-8 hour sessions. It was fine, I didn't get it all done in the one go and he's really amazing at what he does so it wasn't too bad."

And it'll be totally worth it when everything goes south in about 30 years time.
