Girls Can't Catch 'struggled to gel'

Girls Can't Catch have admitted that it "took a while to gel" when they were put together by Fascination Records.

The trio, whose debut single 'Keep Your Head Up' debuted at number 26, insisted that they have since grown close as a group.

"At the beginning, it took a while to gel with two people who were, essentially, strangers," Phoebe Brown told the BBC.

"It was quite weird. It all happened very quickly. But luckily there are no bitches in the band!"

Brown, who was previously in X Factor group Hope, added that she avoids reading internet forums because of negative comments.

"Cheryl Cole said to us: 'Don't read about yourself on the internet', which I strongly believe in," she said.

"When I was on X Factor, I was a bit naive and started to read forums that were talking about me - and it was really upsetting.

"Some people feel very passionate about music, and girl bands in particular, but there's a difference between being opinionated and being a bully. It taught me to stay away."
