Sarah Harding's work is more important than her love life.

The Girls Aloud singer - who is dating DJ Tom Crane - wants to concentrate on her newfound passion for acting and will give this precedence over her romantic relationships for the next few years.

She said: "I am not engaged - not yet anyway. I've still got a few more years in me. I think career first, then love life."

The 28-year-old blonde beauty recently portrayed schoolgirl Roxy in the 'St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold'.

While discussing her personal life with her co-stars, Sarah decided she has no time to think about her love life now she is a multi-talented star.

She explained: "I am going down a different route and I like to throw myself fully into what I am doing. One of the girls on set said it is hard to juggle a good work life, a good social life and a good love life. You can't have more than two at once, and it's true. If I am working long hours I don't see much of my boyfriend. He is always out so it is tough. But work is my focus for the next two years."

Sarah also revealed she decided to try her hand on the big screen because she was getting "bored" of singing with the girl group.

She added in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We have all got other stuff. We get bored. We have been doing it for seven years and we need something else to mix things up a bit. We have all gone out and done other things.

"It means we'll all be able to go back to the band again and enjoy it. Otherwise it does become like a job - albeit one I enjoy doing. But then it becomes a routine and I am not a routine girl."
