The Saturdays 'rule out 2010 tour'

The Saturdays have reportedly ruled out going on a UK tour this year.

The girlband, who released second album Wordshaker in October, claimed that they are too busy doing promotion overseas.

"We badly want to do a tour, but we've got a lot of things to do, so it's about fitting it in with Asia and Europe," Rochelle Wiseman told the Daily Star.

"We wanted an arena tour last year but you have to come up in stages. Last year's small theatre tour was much more personal. We had been supporting other people, so it was refreshing.

"As much as we love supporting we always worry whether the crowd will like us because they've come to see the other person."

The group admitted that they are eager to perform at more festivals, despite having initial fears about how well they would be received.

"We will be doing all the festivals. The first ones were terrifying. Because we're pop we thought we'd get booed," Wiseman added.

"We went from being frightened to getting the best reaction."

The Saturdays were recently confirmed to perform at Thetford Forest, Suffolk as part of the Forestry Commission Live on July 9.
