Not quite what we were hoping for...

When Girls Aloud's official website announced that they had 'exciting Nicola news', we were hoping that it would be tidings of her harp-infused, Medieval damsel-inspired concept album about the plight of ginger women in the 50s featuring her burlesque counterpart 'Cherry Cola'. Either that or those Vivienne Westwood adverts she was supposedly doing but never materialised.

But, no. As per always we didn't get what we want. The 'exciting Nicola news' in question was that Ms. Roberts would be doing "a brand new documentary for BBC3 all about the dangers of fake-tanning and sun beds." (!) Whilst we admire Nicola's campaigning on the behalf of pale people everywhere and are certain that this will make absolutely top-notch telly, it's not quite what we were hoping for. No news on when it'll broadcast unfortunately but 'we'll keep you posted'.
