Aloud And Clear

THEY'RE called Girls Aloud, but they were anything but loud when they relaxed after their sell-out concert.

After performing to a capacity crowd at the BIC on Saturday night, the pop starlets returned quietly to their luxury hotel on Christchurch Quay to wind down after the excitement.

The all-singing, all-dancing quintet stayed in the luxury suites at the Captain's Club Hotel, booking out the rest of the hotel for their backing dancers and entourage.

The group regularly grabs the attention of the tabloids, not least because of singer Cheryl Cole's rocky private life with husband Ashley.

But if it was privacy they were after, they most definitely got it in Christchurch.

Only one little girl recognised the girls and asked for their autograph, which they willingly gave, according to a spokesperson for the five-star boutique hotel.

"They were amazing, just really lovely girls. They came in after their gig and had a very relaxed drink in the bar with some of their party.

"They were saying how they had fallen head over heels for the area," the spokesperson said.

"With the lovely weather they said they realised just how wonderful Bournemouth and Christchurch were, especially with the beaches. They were well-behaved and very polite - the perfect guests!"

The band had been performing at the BIC as part of the group's Tangled Up tour following the success of their fourth studio album of the same name, released last year.

No strangers to success, the girls took the BIC by storm on Saturday, performing numbers such as Love Machine and Sexy No No No as well as the song that launched them on the road to stardom, Sound of the Underground.

Since they formed in front of our very eyes on Popstars: The Rivals six years ago, Girls Aloud have notched up 18 consecutive top 10 singles, the most for any girl group, beating the likes of Destiny's Child and the Spice Girls.
