Nicola Roberts has made it clear she is uninterested in Sarah Harding’s stint on Celebrity Big Brother.

Roberts, 31, refused to comment on Harding’s antics, which last night left viewers speculating that she had sex with her fellow housemate Chad Johnson.

Asked if she has been watching the Channel 5 show, Roberts told The Sun: “I don't want to talk about that.”

Her refusal to address Harding comes days after she appeared to make a dig at her former Girls Aloud bandmate after she described Fifth Harmony as “slutty”.

Harding was branded “disrespectful” by fans of the US group after she criticised their style and accused them of simply “slut-dropping” and “twerking” on stage instead of learning “proper dance routines.”

Roberts appeared to make a thinly veiled swipe at Harding’s remarks on Instagram with a picture of herself wearing a cap emblazoned with the words: “Women in music are dangerously underestimated.”

She captioned the post: “And that's why we have to support each other.”

Harding has divided viewers on the popular reality show and last night left fans in shock after appearing to have sex with fellow housemate and ‘boyfriend’ Johnson.

Some described their tryst as “gross” while another claimed it made them “throw up”.

One disgruntled viewer tweeted: “I think I'd rather sleep in another person’s sick than watch Sarah and Chad makeout any longer so cringe #cbb.”

Another posted: “Can Big Brother please remove Sarah or Chad, because both of them together in the house, is making me feel nervously unwell.”

Ofcom is investigating the show after viewers complained when scenes were aired showing Harding groping Johnson’s crotch earlier this week.
