The Saturdays have created a playlist of songs which promote responsible relationships for an Aids charity.

The ‘Up’ singers compiled a list of their favourite tracks on Spotify as part of a campaign to raise money for the Staying Alive Foundation.

The group’s selection included ‘Kissing You’ by Des’ree, ‘Sexual Healing’ by Marvin Gaye, Boyz II Men’s ‘I’ll Make Love To You’ and Kings Of Leon’s recent hit ‘Sex On Fire’.

The Foundation was set up to encourage and empower young people who are involved in HIV/AIDS awareness, education and prevention campaigns.

Other celebrities involved in the campaign include Kelly Rowland and Travis McCoy.

Each day this week we’ll be uploading a new clip to the video section as part of our Saturday’s Easter competition!

Each brand new video will feature a member of the band giving an egg a bit of a make-over! It’s their task to decorate an egg for another member of the band – all you’ve got to do is guess which member the egg is for!

Rochelle kicks off proceedings over in the Easter eggs section of the video area now…look and listen carefully as she gives away crafty clues!

On this Saturdays mailer the girls will lift the lid on eggs-actly who their designs are for.

Post all five answers here by 5pm on Friday 10th April including the date & venue of where you are coming to see the ‘Work Tour’ and that you have your own means of transport. Also if you are under 16yrs you must be accompanied by an adult. The girls will choose 5 winners at random and these will be announced on Saturday 18th mailer.

Good luck all you Sats fans and don’t worry there will be more chances to win meet & Greets very soon.

Escala have revealed that they are desperate to record with The Saturdays.

The two groups have not all met but share a connection through boyband McFly. Escala violinist Izzy Johnston dates drummer Harry Judd, while Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford is in a relationship with Dougie Poynter.

“It would be great if Escala and The Saturdays could meet up someday. We would love to collaborate with them,” Johnston told the Daily Record.

“Since I met Frankie, The Saturdays have grown quickly as a band. I’m a big fan and we were gutted when they didn’t get No.1 with their Comic Relief single.”

“We love The Saturdays. Their last single ‘Issues‘ was fantastic and their video for ‘Just Can’t Get Enough‘ was great,” Tasya Hodges added.

“Their styling is really good, too. They wear great dresses and always look so fresh. They also have great voices.”

Escala release their self-titled debut album on May 25, which includes covers of Snow Patrol’s ‘Run’ and Robert Miles’s ‘Children’.
