Author name: Matt

I’ve been running fan websites since around 1997, when I launched a Spice Girls website, a few years later I launched a website for the pop-group Steps, which in 1999 became Generation Steps later in the mid 00′s I launched PCDWorld and later The Saturdays Fansite. I’m presently a Network Administrator and a trustee for the UK charity the Dyspraxia Foundation.

Service Update

Sounds like some sort of train announcement! Just an update for all involved, there hasn’t been many updates recently as we’ve just changed servers. We are assured that people won’t see any issues with the change. For you technical people out there the site was hosted on a VPS server which as you can probably understand was a tad overpowered (and pricey!) for a group which seemingly has very little lined up for the next 12+ months, so we’ve looked around and have moved down to a (so-called) lesser setup, but in all honesty we don’t expect to be any performance issues, indeed it might work and be faster for you now than it was previously! The key issue is that everything (from my perspective) is a lot cheaper and more affordable so the site can continue for the foreseeable future as its less of a burden on my income!

Full update will come shortly, on our 7th – yes 7th – birthday next week, but more on that in the next few days!

Confirmed: No new music this year

Those holding out for new music, you are going to have to wait a while. According to Mollie in an article in today’s Irish Independent, everyone is doing their own things in 2015 – which we knew anyway – and there will be no new music from the girls until at least 2016 …

Mollie is quoted as saying (The Saturdays will…) “be recording another album after Christmas so we are doing our own things this year.”

Una has said much the same to fans today in Ireland too.

Full Interview with Mollie, including talking about Alfie (of course!) is on the Irish Independent site

What is going on?

Hi all, we awake from our slumber, to bring you news … alas not musically. Plus a brief chat of what is going on around here too!

I’m probably gonna miss some stuff here, but the general news updates over the last few weeks have basically been:

Frankie has opened up about her awful morning sickness she’s had during her second pregnancy, admitting ‘They wanted me to go to hospital at one point and I refused because there was no way I could get in a car, I couldn’t even get off the floor.’ – Poor girl 🙁

Rochelle has admitted that she doesn’t mind sharing her marriage secrets on TV! Rochelle is also involved in Comic Relief which is on TV this evening on BBC1 from 7.00pm

Mollie has been out and about with and without David (Gandy) and been making noises about being in a recording studio. Vanessa has also been recording and getting insanely fit down the gym! Una has obviously just given birth but is prepping for the live shows on The Voice of Ireland!


As for the future of this site, our immediate plan is that we aren’t going anywhere. The issue for me is that news is at the least uninspiring. I’m sure many of you do care about Rochelle’s Very Range and Mollie’s upcoming Oasis range, but from a site perspective the news isn’t the most awe inspiring and is something we can potentially report via social media – which we are doing, so please follow us on Twitter @TheSatsCoUk or search for The Saturdays Fansite on Facebook.

The site’s birthday is only 3 weeks away, which is amazing, and yet again I extended my thanks to everyone, new and old, for supporting us for so many years!

Mollie helps raise £150,000 for The BHF (fundraiser update)

On 10 Feb 2015, a host of famous faces hit the red carpet for The BHF Roll out the Red Ball. Hosted by the lovely Mollie King which raised over £150,000 for the charity- amazing!!

Mollie said: “I’m honoured to be hosting the Roll out the Red Ball in aid of the British Heart Foundation. It is such a fantastic charity which is very close to my heart. My grandfather sadly died of heart disease.

“The BHF has already made vital discoveries in the prevention and treatment of heart and circulatory conditions but there is still so much work to be done.

“Guests attending the ball will be raising funds which will go directly into life saving heart research.”

Here’s a video of Mollie talking about her grandparents and why it’s such a good charity close to her heart.

More info about the ball can be found on The BHF Website https://www.bhf.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/roll-out-the-red-ball

With all of that said why not dig deep and donate £1 to Mollie’s fundraiser and feel like you’ve done a good deed every £1 makes a difference for a charity so close to Mollie’s heart and Rosie’s (for more info about why speak to her directly). Mollie appreciates her books and fundraisers so much so know that everything you donate will be appreciated.

The Saturdays Roundup : 9th February 2015

Firstly HUGE thanks to the early donators to this year’s charity for Mollie’s Birthday Book – The British Heart Foundation. In just a few days since we officially launched it, we’ve raised £101! Amazing, it really is! You can find all the details in the post below, or by clicking the banner a the top! Let’s beat last years total of £550!

Talking BHF, Mollie fronts their annual charity auction tomorrow, although you will need a fair bit of spare money to be able to buy anything! If you want to go shopping with Mollie you currently need a cool £3000 – and you know by tomorrow evening it will be at least double that!

Also in the newa The Saturdays company, Day & Night Ventures, accumulated profits rose by £340,371 to £696,159 in the year ending August 31, 2013, according to figures lodged with Britain’s Companies House. I’m no business expert but maybe someone is ..

Rochelle has said she has no plans for an S Club Juniors reunion (boo!) she says, ‘Look, I’m friends with the Juniors and all of that, and it will always be a big part of my life,’ says Rochelle, 25. ‘But I don’t want to go back to being 12 again.’ Talking Rochelle, herself and Marvin have been in the recent Fabulous Magazine talking some saucy things.
