Girls Aloud launch Tangled Up tour with raunchy performance

Move over Madonna. A new breed of erotica has landed.
Legs akimbo and straddling half-naked dancers, Girls Aloud gave the most sexually-charged performance of their career - with Sarah Harding panting: "Are all your fantasies coming true?"
Kicking off their Tangled Up tour in blazing style with a fireworks display, the fab five began the show suspended 12ft above the stage in superhero capes and clingy black Spandex bondage gear.
The saucy dance moves accompanying opening track Sexy! No No No had the 14,000-strong crowd gasping as the girls went straight into top gear at the Odyssey in Belfast on Saturday night.

And they ratcheted up the raunch throughout the lengthy 19-song set, prompting one fan to say: "The mums and dads were covering their daughters' eyes when the girls stripped off into leotards. You could see most of their bums. The blokes weren't complaining though."
Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Sarah writhed with skimpily-clad male dancers (just strips of cloth wrapped around sweaty bulging muscles), then grinned as they dug their heels into the muscle-bound hunks' pert bottoms.
For their second costume change they slipped into Dancing On Ice-style sparkly black-tasselled dresses as Cheryl teased her hands down the chest of toned and tanned backing dancer Anthony.
After a 1920s-style routine on Biology, they slipped into their third outfits - rainbow-coloured prom dresses for History. And when the girls reappeared for the first encore, they drew squeals for another glitzy change - bootylicious Destiny's Child-style gold dresses.
An emotional Cheryl shared a kiss with Sarah before the band launched into a cover of Van Halen's Jump. And they saved their sauciest outfits for last - revealing swimsuits that showed off every one of their curves. And as pink confetti poured down, the girls signed off with live fave Something Kinda Ooooh.
With 23 more sell-out shows on the way and the band working on a sizzling Pussycat Dolls number, they should come with a government health warning!
Support came from feisty female five-piece The Saturdays. Already signed to the girls' Fascination label, their debut single, If This Is Love, is out in July.
Sarah
Sarah turned in a top performance despite having hurt her back moving boxes into her new Camden pad.
The 26-year-old blonde bombshell told us: "I'm more bendy than ever now. I've been having lots of physio and using this power plate called the Fit Vibe." Something kinda ow..!
Kimberley
As soon as she saw the leotards they had to wear on stage curvy Kim, 26, set about losing weight.
She told us: "I was gobsmacked and set myself a task. I started doing lots of exercise and had to sacrifice food I love. But it was worth it - I can show the grandkids these pictures one day."
Cheryl
Poor Cheryl was not best pleased to find someone had scoffed her dinner.
The 24-year-old drooled: "All I could think about after the show was my fried chicken, but someone had eaten it. How rude is that?" No KFC? WTF!
Nicola
Beyonce gets the girls ready in their dressing room. Nic revealed: "We were shaking our booties to Crazy In Love to get us in the mood."
And she told us she got the giggles when one of the crew yelled, "Hallelujah! Praise the Lord" in the middle of her show pep talk.
Nadine
Now a singleton again, Miss Coyle's been playing the field. She told us: "I've always got someone on the go - but I've had some nightmare dates. One guy had a nut allergy and I had to check before I could order houmous.
"He said there could be a problem if we kissed. I told him there wouldn't be any chance of that!"
