“We’re so excited!” squealed Vanessa. “We’ve started to rehearse the dances and a few other things. “Being our first arena tour it’s a massive deal for us. “We want everyone to have a good time and get that real party vibe. “Because the tour is near Christmas we also want it to have a Christmas vibe and just want everyone to have fun.” No strangers to travelling, the girls spend a lot of their time on the road. But
it’s the crowds in Wales that get them going the most. “We were just saying the other day that Wales is one of our favourite crowds,”
said Vanessa. “Everyone is so loud. It’s brilliant. “We’ve been to Wales a few times and we can’t wait to come back.” And the tour isn’t the only thing the girls have to look forward to. With the launch of their third studio album, ‘On Your Radar’, due next week
(21st November), they have been working tirelessly to promote it. “We’re really excited about everyone hearing the new album,” said Vanessa. “This one is a lot more personal to us because we have written half of it our-
selves.
“Its got a great mixture of fun dance tracks and slower ballads. Vanessa sees ‘On Your Radar’ as a progression from the 2010 top-ten smash
‘Headlines’. “That’s the best bit about pop music,” she said. “It’s really fun and you can mix up with different styles such as R‘n’B and
dance.” Having enjoyed great success in 2011, the girls are looking forward to 2012. “We’ve got a new single coming out soon so we’ll be doing a lot of promotion
for that,” said Vanessa. “And we’re just going to carry on doing what we are doing.” But before they hit the new year, the girls will be taking a well-earned break
over the festive season. “We’re all going to be celebrating Christmas at home with our families,” she
said.

“We really don’t get to see them enough so it will be lovely to chill with them
and eat too much.” But Vanessa isn’t hoping for anything special under the tree. “I don’t think any of us are really bothered about presents,” she said. “It’s all about spending the time with our families and friends.” And with there soon to be a tiny sixth member of the group, one member
certainly needs to get plenty of rest. “Una’s doing really well,” said Vanessa. “She’s making pregnancy look easy. She hasn’t been sick at alland I’m sure
there’s going to be lots of women who are jealous. “We all can’t wait to be aunties.”
