Saturdays: 'Girl groups have to work hard'

The Saturdays have said that girl groups have to work much harder than boybands in order to look good.

The five-piece, who released new album Wordshaker last week, claimed that they are forced to spend longer getting ready than their male counterparts.

"Being in a girl group is completely different to being in a boyband or a rock group," Rochelle Wiseman told the Daily Record.

"I think we work harder because we get in earlier to do make-up. There is the glam side of things. They can just turn up in whatever they want and still look cool.

"We're not always dressed up and we love to dress casually but there is a lot more work involved in being in a girl pop group because people are interested in the glamour - compared to being in a rock band, where you can just sing and go home."

The star added that their busy promotional schedule means that they get very little time off.

"Most of our time off is spent sleeping, seeing family and getting rest. We work really hard and we've had one week off in two years. Sometimes we're up at 5.45am and keep going until 1.30am the next day," Wiseman said.
