Sarah Harding reveals fears over festival performance

Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding has explained how her band were terrified before their 2006 performance at the V Festival, thinking they were going to be "stoned to death" by fans.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Harding, whose group will play at this year's V Festival on the Main Stage, said they were worried about how they would fit in amongs more traditional rock acts before their performance in the event's JJB Arena.

She said: "We didn't know how we'd fit in because we are putting on more of a show and weren't sure the Main Stage was equipped for doing that sort of thing.

"We didn't expect so many people wanting to see us last time – we thought we were gonna get stoned to death. It was really scary for me, I really didn't want to go but the crowds were really nice and loved it."

But it's V, no-one gets bottled or stoned, it's either a chav"festival" or posho "festival" you are more likely to get offered some nice brie than get stoned! the reason they had a good crowd is because football shirt wearing muppets wanted a cheap thrill!
