THIS TIME FOR TOUR!! I can't believe it xx".She later joked, "Currently my sock portfolio is looking pretty dire".The 27-year-old Irish singer told fans to expect some tears on the tour earlier in the week. "Just to warn you, there is a really emotional part in the show," she said. "We all stood and cried our eyes out during it today! I still feel drained x".The girls have also been rehearsing plenty of uptempo dance routines for their string of shows, and Cheryl recently gave a shout out to their dancers to show their appreciation.
"To all our dancers! You are killing it," she wrote. "Doing such a great job, thank you".The Girls Aloud Ten tour is taking place in support of their latest greatest hits album Ten, which celebrates their tenth anniversary as a group.It kicks off at Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena on February 21 and includes dates in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Nottingham, Birmingham and Sheffield before closing in Liverpool on March 20.
