Harding hospitalised in Austria

Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding was hospitalised in Austria over the New Year following an alleged argument with her boyfriend.

The British singer rang in 2012 with a skiing holiday in Europe but was taken to hospital in the early hours of New Year's Day (01Jan12), according to Britain's The Sun.

The publication reports the star had become embroiled in an argument with her new partner, known only as Theo, at the Hotel Schloss Matzen near Innsbruck.

Harding, 30, allegedly made a formal complaint to police and flew back to her native Britain on Sunday (01Jan12), cutting her trip short.

The singer was pictured sporting a bandage on her right hand and told reporters outside her home, "I've had a week from f**king hell."

Harding endured a troubled 2011 after splitting from her fiance Tom Crane and admitting herself to rehab to tackle a drinking problem.
