(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Sarah Harding believes her pet dog Claude is her soulmate.

The pop star is best known for making up one fifth of British group Girls Aloud - along with Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Nadine Coyle - although she has been pursuing an acting career over the last couple of years.

Sarah is in a solid relationship with handsome DJ Tom Crane, although the pair have no plans to tie the knot, with Sarah teasing she prefers her pet pooch.

Yes, Claude [Sarahs dog], she laughed asked if shes met her soulmate.

Animals dont answer back, so Claude is the one for me.

The gorgeous star says she does believe in the notion of a soulmate, although shes reluctant to confirm Tom is definitely hers. Sarah has learnt from previous relationships that its best not to jump to conclusions about love.

Tommy could be my soulmate. I think times a great test. Ive learnt over the years not to think that straight away because youre in the honeymoon period, she explained.

I used to become infatuated with people, but it would end before the honeymoon period was over and Id be left devastated. (C) Cover Media
