Singer Sarah Harding, who was once part of Girls Aloud band, has revealed that Cheryl Cole is "broody".

Harding says the 30-year-old `X Factor` judge, who split from ex-boyfriend Tre Holloway last year, is ready to have kids, but for now they are both happy looking after their pet dogs.

"I know that Cheryl is broody, but we both have our animals,` contactmusic.com quoted the 32-year-old as saying.

"Maybe I should think about having kids at my age, but I'm still young and while I do want them one day, right now I don't even think I'm responsible enough. I've got my dogs and I have my godchildren - three boys of three, six and nine. They are my baby fix for now. I will probably get more dogs and other animals before I have kids,` she added.
