BBC Children in Need fans fume as Girls Aloud song with Sarah Harding 'cut short'

Fans of BBC Children in Need were left disappointed on Friday night (November 18) when a performance by Girls Aloud was cut short.

The girl group, who were making their first TV appearance since the death of Sarah Harding in September, were due to perform their hit song 'The Promise' during the telethon.

However, the performance was cut short after just a few seconds due to technical difficulties. This left many fans who had been looking forward to seeing the group perform again feeling disappointed.

The BBC has since apologized for the technical difficulties and said that it is working to make the full performance available online.

The performance was due to be a poignant moment for Girls Aloud and their fans. The group had not performed together since 2013, and this was their first time performing without Harding, who died of breast cancer in September.

Fans had been eagerly anticipating the performance, and many took to social media to express their disappointment when it was cut short.

One fan tweeted: "So disappointed that the Girls Aloud performance was cut short on #BBCChildrenInNeed. I was really looking forward to seeing them perform again."

Another wrote: "I'm so gutted that the Girls Aloud performance was cut short. They're such an iconic group, and it would have been great to see them perform again."

The BBC has since apologized for the technical difficulties and said that it is working to make the full performance available online.

A spokesperson for the BBC said: "We are very sorry that the Girls Aloud performance on BBC Children in Need was cut short due to technical difficulties.

"We are working to make the full performance available online as soon as possible."
