Amazing that its been two years already! Hasn’t time flown by at a scary rate!

As Ben Foden took to twitter this evening, Una didn’t want to feel left out! Nothing really groundbreaking was tweeted, apart from a question was asked – unsurprisingly – about the tour, to which Una replied that the tour is set to be announced when the next single ‘Not Giving Up’ is given a bit more official release date.
Nothing, again, too surprising here, but seemingly this would confirm that the shoot for this week was promotional pictures for the forthcoming tour, and dates are set to be announced as-and-when the single gets a more official release date.
We shall keep everyone updated.

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 🙂
Happy Thursday! 🙂
Our own Una Foden is the cover girl on Women’s Fitness magazine (out now!) to talk about getting her post-baby body back again, via the Daily Mail:
Una, who is married to rugby star Ben Foden, told the magazine: ‘I’m aware I’m getting a bit older and after having a baby I have to work harder.
‘My abs were the hardest part to tone after pregnancy. My tummy felt like jelly for a while and it’s much more difficult to tone than it used to be.’
However, she added: ‘How you look is the last thing on your mind when you have a baby.’
Una shared her exercise and diet tips with Women’s Fitness.
She said she believes people should not cut out any food groups and that they should keep a food diary as a way of tracking what they are actually eating.
She also recommends filling up on as much fruit and vegetables as possible.
She also explained that when she exercises she is careful to ensure she always warns up and cools down properly so as to avoid damaging her muscles.
She suggests that people wanting a flat stomach try a 20 minute interval session of cardio activity, combined with press-ups, squats and lunges.
Una credits her healthy diet and her sporty childhood for her enviable figure.
She said: ‘I used to swim competitively as a kid. I spent most of my childhood in the water and I also took up athletics at school.’
She added: ‘I love golf and I still walk quite a lot. I’m also into home exercise DVDs.
‘At the moment I love Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred as it’s really intense. It’s perfect for me because, as a mum, it’s difficult for me to get to the gym all the time.
‘Dancing and performing keeps me fit. I don’t have a personal trainer at the moment, but if I was working towards a goal then I’d get one – not just to help me get fit, but to stop me running out of breath when I’m on stage!’
Una also works hard to ensure her diet is healthy.
She told Women’s Fitness:‘I start my day with a probiotic drink as it’s fabulous for digestion. Then I’ll have a banana if I’m on the go, followed by granola with yoghurt.’
For lunch she says she has something light like a chicken and noodle soup with a bread roll.
As for dinner, she said:‘I try to have dinner by 6pm and it’s usually something like roast chicken or baked salmon or cod with broccoli and potatoes. Broccoli is my favourite veg as it’s high in iron.’
Una says she snacks on fruit and vegetables – such as carrots and cucumber – throughout the day.

There has been a lot of twitter rumblings that the girls where set to announce or even put on sale a tour over this Christmas period – mainly due to the competition to win a Pair Of Tickets/Meet & Greet with the girls with their twitter competition. Since then the girls have been confirmed to be playing 3 summer shows in June …
Una has been talking to the Irish Independent about the girls plans for 2014, and although she confirms the girls will be touring in 2014, it sees it might be later in 2014 as they want to give time to Frankie’s return and so that she’s not leaving new-born Parker behind too early.
The Saturdays’ singer Una Foden has said the band will be back out in force at the end of 2014.
The five – Una, Frankie Sandford, Mollie King, Rochelle Humes and Vanessa White – recently appeared together performing on Strictly Come Dancing.
But Una said that Frankie – mum to new baby Parker – wouldn’t be back properly until later next year.
“Parker’s only six weeks old, so while Frankie was happy to come back for that performance, she’ll only back with us properly in 2014,” Una said.
Asked about rumours that the band would soon embark on a tour, she said: “We won’t be going out just yet, as we’ve only just had Frankie back performing with us.
“But we’re looking forward to getting back out there in 2014. We’ve mentioned a couple of shows that we’re doing in the summer, and we are definitely touring, but it will be later in the year.”
Una was the first of The Saturdays to have a baby – but she’s now been joined by Frankie and Rochelle, who had her baby in May.
“We would never sacrifice our personal lives for our careers, or vice versa,” Una said, adding: “We’re so lucky that we can combine both, and we’re very supportive of each other.”
The Irish singer said that, at first, the band were worried about individuals doing their own thing but that now they felt free to try new stuff.
“We didn’t want to do anything else (individually) too soon in case it looked like we were stepping away from the band, but we’ve been together now for six years, and it’s something we feel comfortable doing alongside the band,” she said.
Comment:
I know the mailer is indicating that the tour is ‘soon’, I’ve always said IF its an arena tour (which it has to be, surely?) a group like The Saturdays will need 6months+ selling time anyway. I’ve always seen the tour to be a late summer/early autumn affair (So say Sept/Oct) so an announcement in January, allowing 6 months odd worth of sales, all sort of fits in. I’m only saying this from experience, not with prior knowledge.

Hey all! It’s been hectic at work the last week or so, so haven’t got around to updating the site. Remember to follow us on Twitter @TheSatsCoUk for any breaking news 🙂
The girls are seemingly on their Christmas Break’s now, we don’t expect any major news until the new year now, we might be wrong, but it would be strange for any major news over a holiday period. I know a lot of twitter talk has been about a tour announcement on Xmas Day, it’s possible but most tour venues and e-mail promo shots have now ended until Jan 10th, so it wouldn’t be the greatest time to announce one but you never know.
I was at the WeLovePop Club last weekend, and had a word with Adam, who was very keen to play Not Giving Up, so maybe a early hint? We shall see!
We start some Saturdays news that Una has confirmed she is taking part in the new series of ITV’s Splash! With Tom Daley by posting this picture:
Splash starts on ITV1 in the new year. We will have Una’s appearance on the site for you to view 🙂
Mollie and Jordan when Ice Skating in London the other day. I’ve posted a few pictures of them on the ice below! Mollie seems to keep going to places the day after I’ve been there, next time Mollie text me so we can co-ordinate times 😉
Talking Tours again, I leave you all pondering this ….
Can’t wait to get back on tour
Una, Mollie, Rochelle, Tour? Read More »
Morning all. Hope you enjoyed the girls performance on Strictly Come Dancing last night, if you missed it or just want to watch it again, scroll down and hit the play button 🙂
This morning we start with the news that Una has signed up to appear on the ITV show Splash! Mentored by GB Olympic medallist Tom Daley, the show sees celebrities ‘learning’ to dive. (Yes that’s it!) As they dive from the lower springboard onto the higher 5m or 10m platforms. We all know Una is a swimmer, but is she also a diver 😉
Obviously nothing has been confirmed yet, but we all know how these Internet rumblings work!
