They seem All Fired Up for their impending tour and judging from rehearsals they will be raising temperatures too.

The Saturdays got one final practice in before packing their bags for the groups first ever arena tour.

Taking inspiration from Father Christmas and his big red suit, the girls have a segment of the show where they dress up in some very sultry outfits.

Merry Christmas: The Saturdays rehearse for their arena tour in some festive costumes

Appearing on stage in red sequined jackets they give a whole new meaning to the phrase 'naughty and nice.'

The girls have been performing dress rehearsals for their first ever arena tour and have been feeling nervous about the experience.

Rochelle Wiseman said: 'The thought that we are about to take on arenas sends a shiver down my spine.

All wrapped up: Mollie King and Frankie Sandford add some sugar and spice to the concert

'It's everything we've ever dreamed of as a band,' she added.

The Saturdays, who have had nine Top 10 singles, have been practising singing new songs on their tour from their as yet unnamed fourth studio album.

Fans can expect a lot of bright colours and brightly coloured costumes as the group whip off their Christmas clothes and change into skimpy outfits.

Together again: Una Healy sings solo while Mollie and Frankie get closer to each other

Under the spotlight: Rochelle Wiseman and Frankie go through the motions

All that glitters: Short silver dresses were worked into the routine with Una's being a looser fitting than the rest

Mollie King can be seen dancing around wearing a pair of very short blue denim pants with a torn white vest and fishnet stockings.

The blonde singer then changes again into a sparkly silver and black mini dress.

In one routine Frankie Sandford, who has recently returned to the band after suffering from illness, flashes her red bra through a pink halter neck top which she teemed with a pair of black high-waisted shorts.

Ready to work: The Saturdays arrive on stage in a large elevator

We salute you: The girl group strike a pose in their sultry office worker costumes

The ladies also dress up as sexy secretaries and make a grand entrance via a large silver lift.

Kitted out in glasses, high heels, pencil skirts and bright bras they arrive on stage and strike a pose before starting to sing.

Una Healy tweeted about her excitement today and said: 'First night of our #AllFiredUpTour tonight in Bournemouth!! Sooo excited! The butterflies have set in! Get Ready, Get Set! Who's coming?Xxx.'

Less is clearly more: Mollie and Frankie show off some revealing outfits in the run-through

Corset girls: The ladies have brought plenty of variation and colour for their first ever arena tour

Rochelle, meanwhile, was feeling exhausted from all the preparation and said on Twitter: 'Just got back to my hotel room after a long day rehearsing on our arena stage eekkk! Its all coming together nicely! I am soooo excited :) x.'

Their 13 date tour will take the girls to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales as well as England and pregnant Una will be taking a special something with her for the ride.

She said: 'Having my pillow from home with me on tour is the closest thing to bringing my own bed on tour!'

Girl not allowed: Frankie Sandford goes part-time with The Saturdays as doctor bans her from TV

She's been waylaid with a mystery illness since September and Frankie Sanford still isn't well enough to appear with the Saturdays full-time.

Yesterday the 22-year-old remained absent from the group's public engagements including appearances on Daybreak and Channel 4's Album Chart Show.

However, she is getting involved with rehearsals for their upcoming tour, which kicks off in just two week's time.

Still struggling: Frankie Sandford is only permitted to attend tour rehearsals with The Saturdays but she's been advised to rest up and avoid overdoing it

Here I am: The singer has been out of action since picking up a mystery illness two months ago

In a statement, the band's press representative told the MailOnline: 'Frankie is still ill and she's taking her time to recover. under doctor's orders she is only permitted to attend tour rehearsals.

'She's easing herself back in to things with the group but will be appearing on the tour which starts at the end of this month.'

Yesterday the rest of the group, Rochelle Wiseman, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White kept up their pre-tour publicity trail with appearances on both Channel 4 and ITV.

On great form: Mollie King and pregnant Una Healy both looked great as they made their way out of rehearsals

Shady lady: Rochelle exits rehearsals with her eyes covered by a large pair of sunglasses

On Sunday Frankie had been up late, using her Twitter page to have a live 'webchat' with her followers, it's presumed she spent the early part of Monday resting up as she was absent from the group's television appearances.

Later that day however they were joined by Frankie at rehearsals in London.

The girls were all immaculately turned out as they left the studios where they have been practicing routines.

Still missing: Frankie Sandford (L) had two months off due to a mystery illness but was absent again today when the group performed on Daybreak

Frankie wore a colour-coordinated outfit featuring a pair of red jeans, with black trainers and a black jacket.

Underneath she wore a blue/grey hooded top and she carried a large black bag, covering her neck with a red and black scarf.

Rochelle, 22, wore a pair of PVC trousers, with a sheer burgundy top which exposed her white bra underneath.

What illness: Frankie Sandford looked happy as she went shopping with Wayne Bridge at Harrods last month

She matched the items with a grey coat and a burgundy to match her top.

Mollie King, 24, looked rather quaint in her green shorts, blue coat and matching hat.

She accessorised with a pair of fur-lined boots, a red box bag and a checked scarf.

Pregnant Una Healy looked more like a businesswoman than a pop star in her understated outfit.

The 30-year-old went for a chic blazer jacket, a white top with black hearts printed all over it and a black pencil skirt.

The girls debuted their new dancers and some new songs on the Album Chart Show, Una excitedly tweeted about their new routines.

She wrote: 'Album Chart show with our dancers performing songs from our new album really gets me excited for our upcoming tour! See you guys there!!'

The Saturdays have a new album due on November 21, entitled On Your Radar and their tour supporting the album begins in Bournemouth on December 2, finishing up at Wembley Arena in London on December 16.

Una Healy continues to maintain her fantastic figure as she prepares to go on tour with The Saturdays

Hiding her bump again: Una Healy continues to maintain her fantastic figure as she prepares to go on tour with The Saturdays

She may be over 20 weeks pregnant but Una Healy is still managing to maintain her fantastic figure.

The 30-year-old pop star was pictured arriving at the ITV studios with her band mates from The Saturdays today ahead of their appearance on Daybreak.

Una and her rugby player boyfriend, Ben Foden, 26, revealed this month that they are expecting a baby girl but she certainly showed no signs of a large bump in her glamorous outfit.

Still looking great: Una Healy arrived at the ITV studios today wearing an outfit that hardly showed off her growing baby bump

Stylish maternity wear: The Irish singer wore a black fitted skirt and blazer with a loose embellished top that hid the signs of pregnancy

Wearing a tight black skirt that showed off her tanned legs, the singer chose a loose embellished top that skimmed over her stomach and fell longer at the back.

She teamed it with a smart black blazer and purple strapped heels and wore hair hair down straight.

When Daybreak presenters, Christine Bleakley and Dan Lobb, asked her how she was and commented on her tiny stomach, Una laughed.

'She's hiding today,' she said. 'But she'll be joining us on tour.'

Her fellow pop stars joined in her in getting glammed up for the morning show.

Lady in red: Mollie King looked smart in a blazer which she teamed with a red leather skirt and carried a matching bag

Rochelle Wiseman, 22, arrived wearing a fitted black dress and matching platform heels with a long faux fur cardigan over the top with fitted sleeves.

Vanessa White, also 22, wore a dress as well but opted for a printed design and ankle boots.

The dark-haired wore a large pair of dark sunglasses despite it being a cloudy morning in London and also kept herself warm in a baggy grey cardigan.

Twenty-four-year-old Mollie King also looked smart wearing a blazer which she teamed with a red leather skirt, black top and unusual belt.

The blonde star carried a large red handbag and was more than happy to smile for the camera as she made her way inside with her band mates.

Braving the cold: Rochelle Wiseman (L) and Vanessa White both wore dresses and showed off their bare legs for their appearance on Daybreak

Noticeably absent was the fifth member of The Saturdays, Frankie Sandford.

The 22-year-old took two months off recently due to a mystery illness.

But when asked about her absence Rochelle was quick to answer saying: 'She’s doing well, she’s kind of easing herself back into work but she’s fine and we’re making sure she rests up for our tour in December. So yeah, she’s all good.'

Frankie reunited with the rest of the group last week when they were pictured arriving for workouts at the gym to prepare for their arena tour which begins next month.

But the group performed without her today as they continued to promote their latest single, My Heart Takes Over.

The Saturdays light up Oxford Street by flicking the switch, but Frankie is still absent

All we want for Christmas is Frankie! The Saturdays light up Oxford Street by flicking the switch, but fifth member is still absent

Their smiles weren't giving anything away as The Saturdays turned on the Oxford Street lights minus fifth member Frankie Sandford.

It was business as usual as the quartet lit up the iconic London street with cheers from the waiting crowd braving the cold as they chanted for the pop princesses.

They joined Toby Anstis and U.S. duo The Pierces, who have already made a name for themselves in their native America and are trying their luck to win over an army of UK fans.

Festive: The Saturdays switch on the Oxford Street lights, but there is no sign of Frankie Sandford

Just like The Spice Girls: Rochelle revealed on Twitter it was a childhood dream to turn on the iconic lights

As Una Healy, Rochelle Wiseman, Mollie King and Vanessa White flicked the switch, they kept warm in winter coats, teasing fans that they would remain covered up during their performance.


But the girls whipped off their jackets to reveal plenty of flesh to sing new single My Heart Takes Over, with Mollie, 24, daring to bare in a festive glitzy basque and a pair of thigh-skimming shorts.

Wrapped up warm: The girls opted to wear big winter coats rather than daring to bare in their usual attire

Mother-to-be Una, 30, showed off the slightest hint of a bump, although her silhouette still looked svelte despite expecting her first child with Ben Foden in 2012.

She was preparing for the event by gushing on Twitter this morning, saying: 'So excited to be turning on the Oxford Street Christmas Lights with @tobyanstis later on today, such an honour. X'

Quartet: Vanessa, Una, Rochelle and Mollie seemed to hold their own despite missing their fifth member

Off with the coats: It wasn't long before the girls had shed their winter layers and were parading around in stage costumes

Bandmate Rochelle, 22, was elated that they were following in the footsteps of a certain homegrown pop act, saying: 'My childhood dream has come true woo (sic) x

'The Spice Girls turned on Oxford St Christmas lights and now we are tonight :) woooo @TheSaturdays'

Mother-to-be: Una Healy still looked streamline with a belt highlighting her trim waist even though she is expecting soon

Despite the absence of Frankie, the girls are hardly slowing down over the festive period.
This month they are scheduled to start rehearsing for their upcoming All Fired Up tour which starts on December 2 in Bournemouth and they are also preparing to release third album On Your Radar.

A tiny bump: Una still sported a trim physique despite being pregnant with her first child to Ben Foden

Spectacle: The Saturdays lit up London as Oxford Street came alive at the flick of a switch

Frankie, 22, was admitted to hospital in October, and although reasons were unclear, a spokesperson insisted the treatment had nothing to do with drugs, alcohol or cosmetic surgery.
Writing on her Twitter page today, Wayne Bridge's girlfriend said nothing of the Oxford Street extravaganza, simply saying: 'Just got my lovely little godchildren some beautiful clothes from @KlassMyleene for there birthday! I love Internet shopping.Cutest outfits!'

A perfect stocking filler: The girls pose with Toby Anstis and US duo The Pierces

Crossing the Atlantic: Catherine and Allison Pierce have already found fame in their native America and are hoping to win over the UK public

The Saturdays sport miserable faces amid reports a two-year hiatus is on the cards

Something you want to tell us, girls? The Saturdays sport miserable faces amid reports a two-year hiatus is on the cards

By Georgina Littlejohn

They've become a huge pop success since they broke on to the scene three years ago both in their professional and personal lives.

But the Saturdays didn't look like they had much to be happy about as they left their manager's office last night looking very miserable.

However, with rumours abound that the girls are to take a two-year break at the end of their upcoming tour, their long faces would explain a lot.

Cheer up, Una, you're going to be a mummy! The Saturday's Miss Healy, who announced last week that she was pregnant, leaves her manager's house looking blue amid reports the girl group are set to take a break

Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White sported glum faces as they left the the house in London and silently made their way home.

Vanessa seemed to be the most upset as she pulled her hoodie right over her head and kept her head down as she clutched a 2012 Saturdays calendar.

And when asked by the photographers if she was looking forward to her two years off, she wouldn't comment and kept quiet as she walked past.

Mollie cuddled close to her poodle Alfie close to her and wouldn't raise a smile and she and her pet pooch climbed into her car.

Keeping her head down: Vanessa White was the most visibly upset and was close to tears as she pulled up her hoodie and hid a Saturdays calendar over her face

And Una, who announced last week that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Ben Foden, got straight into her car without a word.

She opened a CD - which turned out to be Nicola Roberts' solo debut album - and put it on before she drove away, not looking up at the cameras.

Frankie Sandford and Rochelle Wiseman were not seen, possibly having left early or not made it to their manager's place at all.

It came as a surprise to see the girls look so down, especially as they always have sunny dispositions and always have a smile or a cheeky face to pull for the cameras.

Let's go home, Alfie: Mollie, who usually flashes her winning smile for the cameras, couldn't even raise a grin as she and her dog got into her car

But it might have something to do with rumours that emerged yesterday that the girls are planning to take a two-year break once they have completed their All Fired Up tour in December.

According to fansshare.com, the hiatus will last at least two years which may have been prompted after Una announced she was pregnant.

Yummy mummy-to-be: Una looked happy when she arrived at her manager's house even though her T-shirt suggested she will soon be out of the spotlight

Rather than go on without her, some of the group are believed to be interested in pursuing solo work, just like girl band before them Girls Aloud.

But according to the website, the Saturdays are insisting that they will get back together again once the time is right.

The Saturdays have a rapid make-under heading home in comfy clothes after looking glam at GQ Awards

Not so Fired Up? The Saturdays have a rapid make-under heading home in comfy clothes after looking glam at GQ Awards

They stepped out onto the red carpet looking polished to perfection and sporting seriously stylish looks.

But while The Saturdays wowed at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards ceremony they weren’t in the mood to stick around for the after-party.

Rochelle Wiseman, Una Healy, Frankie Sandford, Vanessa White and Mollie King were quick to exit the plush bash heading for the May Fair hotel.

Not in the mood to party? Frankie Sandford and her bandmates left the GQ Awards and had a make- under at the May Fair hotel before heading home

And within minutes the band emerged following a quick make under stepping out in the day-to-day clothes.

Frankie emerged from the hotel covered up in a pair of jeans, knee high boots, a leather jacket, a red leopard print scarf and was carrying a black Hermes Birkin bag.

And while the singer still had her red-carpet ready make-up on her ensemble was a far cry from her glamorous asymmetrical LBD which boasted a dipping back and ruffled detail which she teamed with a pair of sparkling silver sandals.

Mollie, who had also opted for a little black dress which she had teamed with bright pink lips and peep toe Louboutins, emerged from the hotel in jeans and a Lavish Alice blouse.

Dressing down: Mollie King who had opted for a little black dress for the awards ceremony emerged from the May Fair hotel in a pair of jeans and a blouse

Heading home: Una emerged in jeans and a floral blouse after looking glam in her daring dress at the awards

Una Healy had opted for a daring and different look at the GQ Awards in a sparkling black and pink dress with cut out neckline and piping detail.

The Irish singer emerged from the hotel in a floral blouse and jeans as she headed for home carrying the goody bag, which contained a whole host of men’s grooming products.

But after a quick dress down post-party she headed for home in balck and white checked skirts and a leather jacket.

Vanessa White had stepped out in a supershort black dress with grey patterned detail, a wide waist belt and Aldo heels, teaming her ensemble with dramatic purple lips.

Glamour girls: At the GQ Man Of The Year Awards bash the singers had put their best style feet forward but they got changed quickly after the ceremony finished

Red carpet royalty: The girls looked stunning as the posed together ahead of the party

Only Rochelle, who had showed off her wild side in a plum leopard print dress by Dolce and Gabbana which she had matched with a pair of dramatic heels and dark vampish lips remained in her awards ceremony attire to make the journey home.

While the girls didn’t stay at for the after-party, which is likely to be down to their busy promotional schedule for their new single All Fired Up, they nearly didn’t make it at all.

The girls were waiting for their outfits at the May Fair hotel earlier in the evening but with the clock ticking down the singers were told their ensembles had been sent to their record label in Kensington instead.

Feeling tired? Vanessa also dressed down from her glamorous outfit and had an early night no doubt tired form the girls grueling promotional schedule

Heading home to show Marv? Only Rochelle didn't change into comfy clothes and wore her stunning Dolce and Gabbana leopard print dress home
