Una Healy: ‘I want to crack America’

Una Healy of the The SaturdaysUna Healy has confessed that she is determined to make her music career an international success.

The Saturdays singer told the News of the World that she was not content with just her UK accomplishments.

“This is what I’ve wanted since I was a kid,” she said. “It’s a tough business. When I couldn’t make it before, I tried to train as a nurse and I was so miserable that I just had to go back to singing.

“I want this so much. I want to break Europe and America.”

She added: “If we weren’t serious about the band, we wouldn’t have gone through the real pain of getting rid of our manager, but it was something we had to do to get things right.”

The 28-year-old also spoke about her “serious” relationship with England rugby player Ben Foden.

“I’m an expert in bad relationships which is why I know when I’ve got it right,” she told the paper.

“I want a great career, but I want a great relationship, too,” she added. There’s no point in being rich and successful but also on your own with no one to share it all with.”

The Saturdays interview about Headlines

The Saturdays, Headlines

We’ll be honest with you – we were a little concerned when everything went quiet in the Saturdays camp post-‘Ego’, but with Girls Aloud on shaky ground and Sugababes M.I.A., we’re pleased to see Frankie, Mollie, Rochelle, Una and Vanessa picking up the slack. Back with the stomping electropop ballad ‘Missing You’ and mini-album Headlines!, the girls are firmly positioning themselves to pinch the crown for ‘Britain’s Top Girlband’. But first, can they score that elusive No.1 hit? We gave Mollie a call to find out if they’re feeling confident.

Are you enjoying performing the new single?
“I love this single and I love the dance routine! You know what we’re like – even though it’s a ballad we still wanted to have a dance. Thankfully it’s got a trancey beat which lends itself to a bit of a routine. We actually performed the track’s club remix on Alan Carr’s show the other day.”

Does that mean you have to do the routine faster?
“It does! It’s already quite complicated so that was… interesting! So much fun though.”

What’s the response to the single been like?
“We’re really pleased with the response it’s had. Whenever we put a single out, we get a sense in the first couple of weeks how people are responding to it, and this seems to be the best yet. The radio stations are loving it and the fans seem to be as well. It’s sort of a new direction for us, but not so much as to alienate our fans. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the album.”

Are you hoping for a number one with this single?
“Honestly? Yes I am, but only for my parents and grandparents because it would be nice to tell them we have a number one. We’ve done other stuff that’s absolutely amazing, but it doesn’t seem to mean anything to your granny unless you can tell her you’ve had a number one. A number one is something she can understand.”

Saturdays Frankie: ‘I regretted split’

Frankie Sandford and Dougie PoynterFrankie Sanford has revealed why she temporarily split from her boyfriend, McFly star Dougie Poynter.

The Saturdays star told the News of the World that she “was having a bit of a crisis” which prompted the separation in March.

“We’d been living together for nearly two years and it felt too much too young. I thought I wanted to start partying and being like girls my age,” she confessed.

Sanford admitted that she quickly regretted the decision.

“It all went horribly wrong,” she said. “Every day there was a story about me and a new guy in the papers. I’d never had to face that before and I couldn’t bear it.”

The 21-year-old also discussed reports which linked her to Cheryl Cole’s ex-husband Ashley Cole.

On the claims, she said: “As if! I’ve never even met him. I’d get upset and I’d call Dougie and tell him none of the stories were true. We were still talking and texting all the time.

“I got more and more cut up about what I’d done.”

The couple eventually reunited and are now thought to be buying a house together.

“I never appreciated what I had until I threw it away,” she said. “I’ve been lucky enough to have a second chance. I’m still too young to get married but he’s the one I’d like to have kids with some day.

“He’s kind, funny, loyal, protective. Now I know there’s no-one else like him. I’m not losing him again.”
