According to Page Six, the 38-year-old singer posted on Twitter, "There's no easy way to say this and actually it doesn't even feel real writing this, but here goes. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and a couple of weeks ago I received the devastating news that the cancer has advanced to other parts of my body."
Harding stated in a separate tweet that she is "currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy sessions," and is "fighting as hard as I possibly can."

"I feel now is the time to let people know what's going on and this is the best way I can think of to do so," Harding penned.
The UK-born singer thanked her support system in a separate post and also asked for privacy.
As per Page Six, the singing group- Girls Aloud was created in 2002 via the ITV competition series 'Popstars: Rivals.' In addition to Harding, fellow members included Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh. The band split in 2013.
