Last night Mollie and Vanessa attended the In-Style pre-BAFTA party in a rather wet and windy London.
Not sure I can add more than that, I sadly don’t think the girls got on the mics and gave an acoustic performance of Not Giving Up. Although talking music, Una tweeted yesterday she was laying down some vocals, so it seems the famous Saturdays b-side is in full swing 🙂

Good Monday Morning! Hope you all had a good weekend, I was up the Emirates Stadium yesterday catching the Arsenal game, so I start today with Vanessa’s chat with The Sun’s fabulous magazine:
Vanessa White has revealed that she battled with a drinking problem that threatened to destroy her and her band The Saturdays.
Speaking to Sunday’s Fabulous magazine, the 24-year-old confessed that her dependence on alcohol left her depressed.
She revealed: “My life started to spin out of control in 2010 and it was a dreadful year.
“I’d be out every night. I went to G.A.Y., mainly because I didn’t want to be hassled by men and just wanted to drink.
“I drank vodka mainly but, to be honest, I drank anything. It massively affected the band and I felt lonely and depressed.”
Her drinking got so bad that it also threatened to ruin her career due to the effect it was having on her vocals.
She continued: “I didn’t know who I was underneath everything I was supposed to be. I’d arrive for work every morning hungover, then my voice started to go.
“I’d have to ask Una to cover my solos.”
In 2011 her problem reached crisis point and it was band mate Rochelle Humes who finally came to her rescue.
She said: “One night, I called Rochelle in a state.
“She told me to come to hers and I stayed with her for two weeks, not drinking, and eating properly. It made me realise I had to stop.”
I admit I didn’t grab the paper yesterday and The Sun is sadly a website that sits behind a paywall, so if you bought it and are willing to scan it for us to share with everyone then please e-mail them over to us 🙂

No don’t panic it’s not a case of déjà vu here. What we’ve all expected has now been confirmed (again) that the next single is Wildfire … No sorry I mean Not Giving Up. I’ll get Frankie explain:
According to the mailer, the video:
It’s gonna have a sleek, futuristic look to it and it was directed by an amazing, really talented director who shot some of our fave vids of 2013.
So all that leaves is a tour announcement. So we when is that coming girls 😉

Unless you have been living under a rock recently, you will be aware that today is the day of The Saturdays 17th Music Video shoot.
No news or any details on what is happening (as of 10am) but we are all (probably) expecting the video to be for ‘Not Giving Up’ but we are all up for a shock aren’t we?
I’m sure something, somewhere will leak – this is the Internet after all.
Our very own Mollie is the cover girl of the March edition of Cosmopolitan.
With London Fashion Week almost upon us who better to grace our March cover than bonafide style muse Mollie King. Signed to Next Models, a FROW regular, with a second drop of her Loved By Mollie collection on it’s way next month (get a sneak peak of it on the video here), Molls is definitely having her moment.
The Saturdays star tells Cosmo: “I studied fashion at A level and it’s something I love learning about. I’ve always had a strong opinion on clothes. I know straight away if I like something or not and how it could work… [Victoria Beckham is] an absolute legend. I saw her at a fashion event and I really wanted to ‘fangirl’ her and get a picture but I was too scared. If I’m on the front row of a show and someone like her walks in, I get so excited and can’t stop staring. I think, ‘Oh my god, I need to remember this feeling because I won’t be doing this forever.’ One day when I’m a granny, I want to remember how cool it is!”
In the full interview in our March issue Mollie talks about her hang-ups and dressing for her shape saying: “I don’t have a Kim Kardashian bum unfortunately, and I don’t have massive boobs either. You have to work with the bits you’re most proud of, so if I’m going out I always think, ‘Right, Molls, your legs are better than your cleavage, so go work those.’ I’m not that curvy, so I like to wear things that give me more shape than I’ve got. Everyone has their body hang-ups; I think, ‘Oh, I could tone that,’ or, ‘I wish I could change that.’ But as much as you can tone bits or add bits, you’re born with your body.”
Currently loved up with American record producer Jordan Omley, Mollie reflects on past relationships and even has it nailed when it comes to being friends with an ex like the model one David Gandy. “It’s really hard when it’s fresh; you can’t go from being in love to friends overnight. I’ve always had to take time apart after a break-up. When they’re with somebody new and you’re single that really hurts, but it’s easier when you move on. Recently there were some pictures of me and David sat next to one another at the same tennis match and the pictures could not have been more unfortunate. It looked like we hated each other, but we do actually get on.”
Now she’s totally loved-up and doing the long-distance thang with Jordan she’s happier than ever. “It sounds glamorous and showbiz, but it can be tough at times because you want to come home to one another and snuggle on the couch. He’s different from guys I’ve been out with before. I’m really happy; he’s definitely ticking all the boxes. He looks after me… I can be quite high-maintenance as a girlfriend. But I’ve learnt to be more laid-back in relationships.”
The Spring / Summer 14 Loved By Mollie edit will be available from March in selected Oasis stores and from www.oasis-stores.com The Saturdays new single Not Giving Up is out in March.
The March 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan is on sale 30th January.

This evening our very own Una Foden appeared on Tom Daley’s ITV show Splash! Where celebrities dive off those stupidly high diving boards you might see down your local swimming pool!
Here’s Una’s dive from the show. I know the video is a bit stuttering at the start, we’ve had a bit of a bad weather down here in South London and it’s playing a bit with my Freeview HD signal, the show is repeated on ITV tomorrow morning so hopefully i can fix it then 🙂
In next months Cosmopolitan Magazine there is a feature with our very own Mollie. The magazine hits the shelves next week (I believe). But the main talking point is at the end of the article it says:
‘The Saturdays new single Not Giving Up is out in March.’
I’ll stick my head out and say the mailer tomorrow will confirm this, the girls has the fitting for the video yesterday, it is scheduled to be shot next week.
Update:
Ok .. so the mailer said nothing. The flip hints the next single is ‘Leave A Light On’ … but Cosmo have PRINTED at the next single is ‘Not Giving Up’ surely they’ve not told a magazine (and therefore a bit of promo) one thing and doing something totally else … but then again this is The Saturdays. We will know more next week.

Maybe that rumoured March date wasn’t far off.
The main story is that this evening it was confirmed that the girls had the fitting for the shoot for their next single, it was later confirmed that the video is being shot next week – so we should know sooner rather than later what is actually being released. Most people are expecting ‘Not Giving Up’ to be the next single lifted from Living For The Weekend, mainly due to it (probably) being one of the stronger songs on the album, plus its been ‘album only’ for an age on iTunes to stop people potentially buying it before it’s actual release.
Obviously all this could mean nothing and something else is being released, but we shall know more in the coming week on what is actually happening.
