JLS 'sacrificed love life for group'

JLS have revealed that they had to sacrifice their love lives in order to focus on their music career.

The four-piece, who are currently at number one with debut single 'Beat Again', admitted that the pressures of being in a band have affected their normal lives.

"We have given it everything. We sacrificed girlfriends, we sacrificed university, we sacrificed our homes, we sacrificed our jobs. Luckily it has worked for us," Marvin Humes told The Sun.

"We're young guys. Obviously we have fun but it's very difficult to hold and maintain a relationship. We're never here. You can imagine the attention we get from girls."

Band member JB added: "We've all broken up with long-term girlfriends in the last few months due to complications."

Ortisé Williams claimed that he ended his first romance so that he could dedicate his time to the group.

"I'd never had a girlfriend before and then I started seeing a girl and we broke up very quickly," he said.

"I realised that the intensity and the pressure of being in the band was going to overtake everything.

"This is our commitment. This is why Marvin and Aston were in jobs they didn't want to be in and me and JB were in uni just thinking about JLS. This is what it's all for."
