Sarah Harding kisses python

London: Singer Sarah Harding puckered up to an albino Burmese python at an awards function here in the British capital.

The Girls Aloud star was photographed with the snake at the Lingerie Awards Wednesday night, reports thesun.co.uk. Helped by a female snake charmer, the 30-year-old singer looked smitten as she cuddled and kissed the snake. She is not the first singer to pose with a reptile. Britney Spears performed "I`m a slave for you" at the 2001 MTV Music Video Awards with a live python around her neck. Harding looked pretty in a black and white floral printed dress and immaculate make-up. She seemed to be back in good spirits after turbulent times that have seen her split from fiance DJ Tom Crane and a check into rehab. IANS
