Sarah Harding wants to get married and have three kids before she turns 40.

The 33-year-old star - who turns 34 in November - has given herself six-and-a-half years to ''knock out a few'' children and tie the knot with her new businessman boyfriend Jason, who she has been dating for the last six weeks.

She said: ''I'd love to get married. I'm hoping it will happen in my 30s - marriage and kids would be good in my 30s. Two or three children would be nice - I'll knock a few out!''

But the former Girls Aloud singer insists she won't be having a huge bash to celebrate her upcoming nuptials as she would much prefer to have a beach ceremony.

When asked if she'll have a big party when she ties the knot, Sarah replied: ''I nearly did once, didn't I?

''But I think I'm a bit over it, the stress of trying to plan a big wedding like I nearly had to Tom [Crane].

''You don't realise how much goes into it, so I think I'd probably go for something a lot smaller.

''I'd probably do it on a beach somewhere.''

While she is keen to get married in the near future, the blonde beauty - who has starred in movies 'St. Trinian's' and 'Run for Your Wife' - is also planning to launch a charity and do some more acting.

She added to OK! magazine: ''But I want to see what happens this year career-wise as there might be some acting in the pipeline as well as singing.

''I'm also helping he Children's Air Ambulance service out. I'm hoping to launch the Sarah Harding Foundation next year.

''I supported Cheryl's foundation last year at a charity day and I really enjoyed it.''
