MOVE over Spice Girls and Girls Aloud, The Saturdays are here to steal your pop crown.
The super stylish starlets — Frankie, Mollie, Una, Rochelle and Vanessa —burst onto the scene in 2008 with their perky single Up.
Huge hits Issues, Work and Depeche Mode cover I Just Can’t Get Enough from debut album Chasing Lights saw the girls cement their place as ones to watch.
And as their star began to rise, some of the girls bagged themselves celebrity boyfriends in the shape of JLS hunk Marvin (Rochelle) and McFly heart throb Dougie (Frankie).
Second album Wordshaker spawned hits such as Ego and Forever Is Over while follow up Headlines saw the girls release singles Missing You and Higher.
The band is now embarking on a 17-date tour which stops off at the Manchester Apollo on Thursday.
Rochelle said: “We couldn’t be more excited for the Headlines tour. Performing live is absolutely our favourite part of being in The Saturdays, and we can’t wait to see all our fans up and down the country.”
