General - Part 1

1. In 2007, The Saturdays were formed after a series of auditions
2. In order to come up with a name for the band they each wrote down ideas that came to their head. They knew they didn’t want a gender specific name and had a list of 200 to choose from.
3. In 2008, the girls released their debut album Chasing Lights which reached number 9 in the UK, later going platinum.
4. Mollie had to pull out of performing at T4 On The Beach due to a horsefly bite which left her leg swollen and meant that she needed crutches for a few days.
5. The girls released an autobiography which was published in October 2010 entitled The Saturdays: Our Story.
6. The girls have had a number of sponsorship deals including Veet, Impulse deodorant, Nintendo 3DS and FashionistA nail varnish.
7. All the girls have been involved with charity work including raising money for Marie Curie, Sport Relief, Comic Relief and Elton John’s AIDS foundation.
8. In 2009, the girls released a cover of Just Can’t Get Enough. The single only made it to number two, meaning the girls were the first artists to miss the number one spot with a Comic Relief single.
9. Rochelle has a dog which is called Tiger - once, she dressed him up in a Christmas coat and tweeted the picture!
10. Mollie’s bandmates call her ‘Miss Disney’ as she is known for being the posh smiley one!
