ListedBuzz · 11-11-2009, 11:11

She was in a band called: Girls@Play.

To answer your question though, No she was not in that band.

Jodi Albert was in that band wasn't she? Back in 2000. She then went on to play Debbie Dean in Hollyoaks and is now married to Westlifer Kian Egan. Last I heard she joined a new girl group managed by Louis Walsh.

Yes in Girls@play not Girl Thing. She even has the same tattoo on her right arm.

Yes. Rita Simons (Roxy) was in a pop band, many years ago, however the band had little success, and didn't last long, the group broke up shortly afterwards.

Girls@Play were a British five-piece girl groupconsisting of Vicky Dowdall, Lisa-Jayne White, Rita Simons, Lynsey Shaw and Shelley Nash2They were produced by Stock & Aitken Mike Stock[/COLOR] and Matt Aitken.

Each member of the band had a different character that they played in their music videos. Dowdall played a ,White an executive, Simons a mechanic, Shaw a New York City traffic cop and Nash a pilot. This gimmick led to Girls@Play being described as the female version of the Village People
The group released two singles; Airhead on and Respectable, a cover version of Respectableby Mel and Kimon 1 October "Airhead" reached number 18 in the UK Top 40 chart on 18 February, while "Respectable" reached number 29 on 7 October. They also supported Hear'Say,Steps on their arena tours in 2000/2001.

The group decided to disband on 18 November.

I remember her talking about being in that band on the paul o'grady show she was so embarrassed about it, they even showed a clip i think! Taylor Swift thought it was a cool band, but i don't think rita agreed!
