Seems movement is afoot in the world of @thesaturdays ….
Una: You guys knows your birds!! Yes its definitely a green woodpecker! He/she brightened up my blue Monday lol! Now off to the studio!! 🙂
Mollie: Why do I record standing on my tip toes?
Place your bets now … are these new tracks for a re-release of ‘On Your Radar’ or are these new tracks for a potential Greatest Hits album release … or something else totally …
Today it is @FrankieTheSats birthday! Frankie is celebrating her 23rd birthday today, and I’m sure that everyone here joins us in wishing her a Happy Birthday and hope she has a wonderful day! 😀
Rochelle Wiseman has revealed her glee at being an “auntie” – but admitted she’s not ready for motherhood yet.
The Saturdays singer, who is engaged to JLS singer Marvin Humes, can’t wait for bandmate Una Healy to give birth in March.
“I am most looking forward to Una having a baby. She’s due on my birthday!” she said.
“I really hope she pops out on my birthday, I’d be chuffed. It’s the first Saturdays baby! We can’t wait. It’s a girl. We’re all going to be aunties.”
The 22-year-old continued: “It’s got me really excited to be an auntie. Don’t get me wrong, one day I’ll have kids but I’m not ready for that yet. I’m happy with my life.
“I think Una will be a great mum. I love kids, don’t get me wrong, but just not for myself – yet,” she added.
Rochelle and her bandmates will be performing at Asda’s Tickled Pink fundraising concert alongside Alexandra Burke, Little Mix, Chipmunk and Dionne Bromfield, which takes place at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire tonight (January 12).
“Alexandra asked us to perform. She texted me and was like, ‘I’m doing a gig for Tickled Pink, I’m really excited about it and I really want you girls to be involved’,” the singer revealed.
“It’s a great cause. We’re excited to be there and it’s amazing because 100% of the ticket sales go to Tickled Pink and that usually doesn’t happen. So everyone’s there for a good reason.”

To claim your cheaper ticket simply visit the TicketWeb website and use the promo code TICK20 and then on the next stage simply choose the £20 offer ticket.
Remember the concert takes place this evening, doors at 6.30pm the show is expected to start at 7.30pm and end at around 10.30pm.
It seems, after a long – deserved! – holiday for the girls @TheSaturdays are now back to some work. Their official Twitter has tweeted out a picture of Frankie today suggesting they might be either recording songs or writing some perhaps? It seems all Frankie wants to do is become a reporter for WeLovePop tho 😉 A little bit later on they tweeted this:
It was SO much fun all being back at work together today! 2012 is going to be SUCH a big year for us Sats…we can’t wait. xx
It looks very promising to me, but let’s wait and see! 🙂
@MolleTheSats opens up to the Daily Mirror about loosing her godmother to cancer, David, and the girls and NOT moving to India.
She might be just 24, but Mollie King has achieved more than most. The star is one-fifth of the UK’s hottest girlband The Saturdays and has a string of top 10 hits under her skinny belt.
And as well as her professional success, the singer has managed to bag herself a gorgeous man – model boyfriend David Gandy, 31.
But while things might seem perfect on the outside, the past few months have been far from easy for Mollie, whose godmother died from breast cancer in October last year.
“It’s been a really difficult time because she was my mum’s best friend and I’ve known her all my life,” explains Mollie.
“I was also really close to her children. It is one of those things that was such a horrible experience for the whole family and will change everybody’s lives.
“It’s my biggest fear that someone close to me like my mum or dad should get ill.
“Especially over Christmas when you’re a lot more conscious of your family. This year was really sad in some ways because we missed her and the end of the year is the time for reflection.”
It was her godmother’s illness that inspired Mollie to get involved in Asda’s Tickled Pink charity concert ‘Girls’ Night Out’ this Thursday to raise money for Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Campaign with Alexandra Burke.
Asda’s Tickled Pink has so far raised over £25million for charities.
“Cancer affects so many people and even if it hasn’t affected someone in your family then you know someone who has had it,” says Mollie.
“I think between us five girls in the band, we all have family and friends who’ve been affected. We’re so lucky to be doing what we’re doing, that we’d be silly not to try and raise money.”
Breast cancer is one of the country’s most common diseases, killing 1,000 women every month.
Mollie says: “I think until you know somebody very close who it happens to, you think it’s something that will never happen to you.
“So when it actually does, you realise no one is invincible. It’s not like it’s even an old person’s disease – my godmother was the same age as my parents, which was scary.”
“My biggest fear in life is losing the people I love and the thing with cancer is that it seems that you can’t really control it.”
Mollie’s godmother was first diagnosed with breast cancer, but eventually it took over elsewhere in her body.
Seeing her godmother taken by cancer has made the star, from Richmond, Surrey, more aware of her own health and well-being.
“I am quite conscious of exercise and eating healthily, but sometimes I think getting cancer can just be bad luck,” Mollie says.
“All of us in the band like to stay fit and healthy. I have a personal trainer who I work out with. She’s amazing and as well as making sure I do loads of sit-ups and press-ups, she also keeps an eye on what I eat.”
Not that the slim star needs to worry about her weight. And if the food she and the girls eat on tour is anything to go by, she’s doing pretty well in terms of her healthy diet.
“We recently reassessed our rider and what we asked for backstage,” she says. “We realised we were being quite lame because all we ask for is fruit and nuts!
“Now we’re really rock and roll and ask for things like cold meats. You can see where I’m going with this – really rock and roll like baby wipes and toothbrushes!” she laughs.
“Before we go on stage we don’t drink so we aren’t ordering in bottles of whisky and things like that.”
And despite the worry of the past few months and the tragedy of losing someone so close to her, Mollie insists that she is happy. And with a man like Dolce &Gabbana model David on her arm, who can blame her?

@MollieTheSats talks about babies, David and what 2012 has planned for The Saturdays
The Saturdays star Mollie King has admitted that the girl group “can’t wait” for singer Una Healy to give birth.
The ‘My Heart Takes Over’ singer confessed that she and the rest of the band are all very much looking forward to becoming aunties.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, the singer said: “Una’s really excited about becoming a mum and we can’t wait to be aunties. We’re all like ‘Come on Una, push it out!'”
The star who is currently dating model David Gandy also revealed that the pregnancy has not yet given her any desire to start her own family just yet.
“We want to buy baby clothes for her little girl and take her out and babysit. It hasn’t had a knock on effect in terms of being broody, although we are looking forward to meeting her. Being an auntie means we can play with her and when she starts to cry, hand her back.”
Mollie also went on to discuss how Una will play a part in the band’s upcoming busy year and believes her band mate will eventually bring her child with the girls on tour.
She confessed: “We have a really busy year coming up. Una knew that and is ready to work extra hard too. I’m sure, when she can, she’ll bring the baby with us.”
News of Una’s pregnancy broke in November when she revealed she would be expecting a girl.
The singer has continued to tour with the rest of The Saturdays proudly showing off her baby bump – including a performance at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 Arena in London last month.

The Saturdays have given us a big reason to celebrate girl power after omg! readers voted them the best band of 2011.
With the entire female population swooning over Harry Styles and the rest of the One Direction boys, we were fairly certain the lads would win our poll hands down. However, The Saturdays pipped One D to the post, with 31% of the vote.
JLS scooped third position, followed closely by Take That with cheeky chappies The Wanted in fifth place.
After the gorgeous girls won the poll, we got thinking about the reasons why we love them…
1. Their look
There’s no denying that Frankie, Mollie, Una, Vanessa and Rochelle always look uh mayzing. Any time they step out – whether it’s to the shops in Ugg boots and an oversized handbag, or on stage in glitzy dresses – they give us serious wardrobe envy.
2. Their music
Each single The Sats release has HIT stamped all over it. From debut single to If This is Love, to the feel-good anthem Higher, to the emosh My Heart Takes Over, any time the girls are played we’re on our feet and getting our groove on.
3. Their men
The Saturdays’ love-lives are as glamorous and exciting as the girls themselves. Not only are the boyfriends drop dead gorgeous, but the end of 2011 brought exciting news for the girls on the romance front. Una Healy and Ben Foden announced that they were expecting their first child together before Ben got down on one knee and proposed.
Rochelle Wiseman and JLS beau Marvin Humes followed suit with the pair getting engaged on holiday at Christmas.
Mollie King has bagged The World’s Sexiest Man in the shape of model David Gandy who recently gushed that they’d be together for the ‘next 40 years,’ and Frankie Sandford once dated Dougie Poynter before moving on to footballer Wayne Bridge.
And repping the single girls, Vanessa White spends a lot of her free time partying hard.
We won’t lie – all this means that a great deal of our time is spent wishing we were in the band, with a super-fit boyfriend in tow. Ah, we can but dream.
