The Saturdays were one woman down for their first major gig of the year at the ASDA Tickled Pink Girls’ Night Out concert at the Shepherds Bush 02 in London.

Confusion surrounded the mystery why band member Vanessa White didn’t take to the stage last night at the Shepherds Bush 02.

One fan told Flyer: “We heard the sound checks and Vanessa seemed to be struggling vocally.” According to reports Vanessa left the building being consoled by band mate Rochelle Wiseman.

Vanessa was apparently fighting off an illness and therefore was not able to perform.

Meanwhile the remaining girls, Una, Rochelle, Frankie and Molly rocked a solid performance and greeted fans off stage.

Rochelle wearing a dressing gown to keep warm took to her phone. We imagine to chat about her performance with her boyfriend Marvin from boy band JLS.

JLS were snapped at Nobu Restaurant in Mayfair.

A heavily pregnant Una Healy under the watchful eye of Frankie Sandford greeted well-wishers before  heading back  to their Hotel.

     Celebs in tne city

Michelle Keegan was spotted leaving the Mayfair Hotel in London.

The actress was surprised to see over 100 fans waiting outside.

Michelle was relieved to find that the fans were not actually waiting for her but had been tricked into believing Leonardo Dicaprio was attending a premier at the Mayfair.

Designers including Julian MacDonald have embraced Shoniwa’s sharp sense of style which has helped reinforce Shoniwa’s status within the music and fashion industry.

Speaking to Flyer Newspaper at the launch Shingai said: “Fashion and style has played a key role in my development as a recording artist. The collaboration with Catherine Elizabeth began in June 2011 and I’m really happy with the result.

My biggest challenge tonight is getting my mothers approval. She appears to like the collection so I’m quite relieved.”

Celebrities who attended this event included Emmanuel, TV stylist Vernon Francois, BB, Janelle Oswald and X Factor’s Amelia Lilly.

     Celebs in the city

Five became two – rocked by internal issues Rochelle Wiseman and Vanessa White from the Saturdays were spotted at Capital Radio’s charity appeal.

The girls greeted fans but when asked by fans where Frankie Sandford was the girls remained silent.

The duo were joined by X Factor wonder boys One Direction.

The only way was Mayfair, yesterday as  a tiny sector of central London became the Mecca of attention as celebs either passed through or attended meetings in the area.

It was an early start for Kerri Hilson who had five wardrobe changes on her first full day of five in London.

Wearing customized figure hugging denim shorts Mis Hilson’s day started early with a trip to MTV. Radio, TV and brand promotions were on the books for Kerri today.

Kerri was joined by publicists Emmanuel, PR Director Daren Dixon and reporters for an evening meal at top Thai restaurant ORA in Portland Place.

    Celebrity round – up of the  day

Home help – XFactor Sinitta spotted shopping at Sainsburys.

If you thought appearing on XFactor was a greenlight to the finer things in life, think again. Sinitta’s feet are firmly rooted to the ground. The mum of two recovering from surgery on her ankle was spotted shopping at Sainsbury’s in Mayfair.

     The Saturdays head to the Mayfair

Frankie, Vanessa, Rochelle  and Una from the Saturdays spotted in Mayfair

Frankie Sanford from The Saturdays was spotted looking for a parking place in Berkeley Square. “Her number plate was spotted in Green Park so we had a fairly  good idea where she was heading.” said as Flyer spotter.

“We sat on the job and it was  only a matter of time before Frankie was joined by Rochelle Wiseman and Una Healey and Vanessa White, however Mollie was reportedly spotted by another agency photographer in a park with boyfriend David Gandy.” said the spotter.

      Avril Lavinge evades fans in Mayfair

Despite our great attempts to remain covert the girls were soon spotted by some fans who were waiting for Avril Lavinge.

However, pint-sized American diva Avril had other plans, meeting her fans was deffinately OFF the agenda. Avril was not about to do any press either.

London was on lock-down as the World’s most powerful man, President Barack Obama and his First Lady – Michelle Obama arrived in Downing Street, England for talks.

A red carpet was rolled out and No.10 was given a final polish. The President and his wife were met at the front of N0.10 by Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha Cameron.

From the outset the Obama’s cut a powerful presence and both David and Samantha’s attempts to mask their insecurities proved unsuccessful. “It was as if David Cameron was going for a job interview, he looked slightly in awe of the American’s presence.” said Flyer reporter Mark Weir.

The meeting at No.10 lasted for half an hour before the President and Prime Minister Cameron went for a drive leaving First Lady Michelle and Samantha Cameron to get acquainted. However the body language told a different story, ‘Obama was clearly a class above.’

Speaking in parliament a few minutes ago  Barack Obama said: “We are united by our ideals and not by our differences.” However the notion that immigrants are defined by ideals and not race will draw debate.

   Plus sized models set for runway success

Plus sized models moved a step closer to appearing on the runways of London Fashion Week when they took to the streets to gauge public support for their campaign in Covent Garden.

It’s tough being a pop-star, especially when you have to spend the day lounging around on a giant sofa and signing autographs but for these girls it was business as usual.

The Saturdays, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Wiseman, Una Healy, Vanessa White and Molly King  were in town as part of T-Mobile’s Big Sofa Night In advertising campaign.

T- Mobile’s latest nation wide campaign is hoping to encourage the public to participate.

Wearing tight-fitting charcoal and black dresses the girls tried hard to conceal their modesty as they bounced around the inflatable sofa.

Signing autographs with the public Rochelle showed she’s a natural especially with children. Rumours are rife that she is house-hunting with boyfriend Marvin from JLS. Judging by these pictures could Rochelle be feeling a teeny-weenie bit broody?
