Girlband The Saturdays have bagged their own TV show on ITV2.
The show, which will go up against Katie Price’s new show on Living TV, will be called Just Can’t Get Enough.
The 60 minute documentaries will follow around Frankie Sandford, Mollie King, Rochelle Wiseman, Vanessa White and Una Healy – and see them ‘burst into song’.
The Sun quotes ITV2 as saying: ‘We’ll be with them in their dressing rooms, at home and on the red carpets.’
‘And in each episode the girls will burst into song to perform their latest hits.’
'Oh, every day," Una exclaims when I ask her if, in her days as a singer-songwriter gigging around Ireland, she ever thought, "This is just not going to happen."
"I'd be going, 'When is it gonna happen, when is it gonna happen?'" The 28-year-old Tipperary native says, smiling at the memory.
"I wrote songs about when is it gonna happen, why is it taking so long. So Long, So Long is a song I wrote," she giggles self-deprecatingly.
Was it tough, the years spent struggling in anonymity? "It was. Well," she pauses to qualify that, ever determined to see the positive side. "You feel, I wouldn't like to still be doing that, 'cause it'd be like, 'Where am I going?' You know? But I felt at the time it was necessary. And I enjoyed the place where I was at; I didn't want to be at the top or anything. I was enjoying getting there and that."
It's been a long day for Una. Having flown in to Dublin the night before, she has been on the go since half six in the morning. It's now almost four, and she's had only a 10-minute break between photo calls and interviews, promoting Diet Coke's Love it Light Roadshow.
In pictures of girl band The Saturdays, Una appears the beanpole of the group, all slender limbs; long, straight auburn hair and a narrow, slim face. In person, she's actually quite small -- 5ft 7in, which she tells me hampered her brief modelling career. She's wearing a hazel-green crocheted dress which matches her almond-shaped eyes. Una is a natural beauty, requiring none of the hard-edged French manicuring and hair extensions of your average pop wannabe.
