Frankie Sandford remained absent from The Saturdays this evening, as the group switched on London's Oxford Street Christmas lights display.
The singer first missed rehearsals and promotional appearances last month, after taking time off work under doctors' orders.
Acknowledging Sandford's absence, bandmate Mollie King said: "Frankie is getting better and will be back with us later in the week."
As well as pushing the plunger, the group performed three tracks, including new single 'My Heart Takes Over', for the crowds gathered on Oxford Street.
Heart's Toby Anstis hosted the switch-on, which also featured performances from Ghost: The Musical star Richard Fleeshman and sister duo The Pierces.
Ahead of the release of their new album On Your Radar, The Saturdays have launched their own online radio station.
