Girls Aloud To Recruit New Member
Published Monday, 25th August, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Girls Aloud will become a six-piece for a special new reality TV show, which will see the band recruit a new member.
The band themselves are no strangers to the reality TV circuit, having formed in 2002 as part of Popstars: The Rivals. Now Girls Aloud are due to host their own series, where they will search for a new singer to join them for a one-off live show.
"The girls have never forgotten that reality TV gave them their first break. Now they want to give someone else the chance." A source tells the Sunday Mirror.
"The winner will get to perform with the group on stage during a one-off concert but the girls hope they'll be able to discover a hidden talent who could join the band as a fully paid-up member."
"It makes sense for them to look for someone who can stand in if one of them can't make a show."
Band member Cheryl Cole is currently a judge on another music talent show - X Factor - alongside Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh.
