Boy band JLS have a paintball

Date published: 06 April 2012


Oldham was given the X-Factor when boyband JLS came to visit.

Stopping off before the Manchester gig of their sell-out tour heart-throbs Aston, Marvin and Oritse called at Paintball Arena in Chadderton to enjoy a game with staff.

Runners up of the TV talent competition in 2008, the boys, along with fourth member JB, have gone on to huge success. After visiting the centre, Marvin tweeted: “Just had a great day out with the team paintballing in Oldham! Thanks guys!”

Jamie Sellars, who works at Paintball Arena, said: “JLS were on one team against some of our staff members — and they gave us some tickets for their gig before they left.”
