She was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother, beating the likes of Amelia Lily and Sam Thompson to take home the title and the show's £50k prize fund for her chosen charity. 

And making sure to celebrate her triumph, Sarah Harding appeared slightly worse for wear as she left the Channel 5 reality series' wrap party alone, heading home without her beau Chad Johnson.

Her solo appearance comes amid claims her romance with The Bachelorette star was 'all for show', as he was pictured arriving at a hotel with former X Factor star Amelia and Jemma Lucy.

Sarah, who dazzled in an eye-catching mini dress that featured a revealing sheer bodice and feathered layered skirt, was pictured leaving the CBB bash looking a little bleary-eyed. 

She was seen flanked by two male companions and clutched onto their hands for support, as they headed home. 

Appearing in high spirits following her success on the show, Sarah was seen animatedly chatting away to her pals while tottering along in a pair of barely-there heels. 

She appeared to be without her new flame Chad Johnson - whom she had controversially struck up a romance with in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

On her entry to the Elstree compound, Sarah was said to have been dating plasterer Aaron Lacey for four weeks, before leaving him 'heartbroken' as she turned her attentions to US star Chad instead. 

He, however, was seen arriving at a hotel following the wrap party with his fellow housemates Amelia and Jemma and without Sarah. 

Posing for a photograph with the girls, Chad flashed a smile as Jemma penned alongside her Instagram post of the trio: 'Back to the hotel with my homies.' 

Chad and Sarah heading home separately may have surprised viewers, as the pair had spoken of their plans on finale night and how they were eager to get some alone time together.
