Jordan, Peter Andre''s split upsets Sarah Harding

London, July 6 : Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding has described Katie Price a. k. a Jordan and Peter Andre's spilt as `sad'.

Harding, who is close friends with the couple, said she had initially hoped the couple would get back together, but now admits it is a hopeless case.

"It's so sad. I really hoped it wasn't permanent and wanted to get them back together. They have both been good friends to me in the past," the Mirror quoted Harding as saying.

Harding has been close to the couple since 2004 when they helped her over a painful break-up. She was also a bridesmaid at their fairytale wedding in 2005.

"I had a really hard time when I split up with Mikey Green and I'll never forget everything they did for me. Whenever I was feeling low they'd invite me around to stay in their house to have a break from it all," she said.

"Pete would put the kettle on and Katie would order in some Chinese and we'd chat all night.

"They have both been good friends to me so I'm not going to be drawn into Team Katie or Team Pete thing.

"Whatever happened was between them. I've been in touch with them and said I'm here for both of them. But it doesn't look like they will get back together now, which is a shame," she added. (ANI)
