The Saturdays >> Vanessa White
Vanessa was born in Somerset and attended the famous Sylvia Young Theatre School in Central London. She’s appeared in several theatre shows, including the West End production of The Lion King. Rochelle describes her as “our Christina Aguilera – but ridiculously modest”. Her favourite saying is ‘cringe’. She’s cute with a feisty side and is very clear about what she does and doesn’t like. She laughs at anything and everything, and even though she may come across as a bit shy at first, she can often be found getting into trouble with her partner-in-crime, Frankie. She can be hyper, loves bright clothes and hates rude, arrogant or bitchy people.

What age did you know you wanted to be in a pop band?
I always knew I wanted to sing since as long as I can remember, It didn't matter whether I was in a pop band or not. I was always going to sing no matter what, I'm just lucky enough to have this opportunity!
What led to you being in The Saturdays?
I trained at a theatre school and met our manager when I was 14 so that was lucky for me because that's one of the reasons that I would have known about the audition in the first place.
Top 3 highlights of The Saturdays so far!
There are so many highlights so far but the top three would be, watching our video for the first time. It felt so surreal and it took a while for me to believe it was me on the screen! Also going on tour with Girls Aloud! We got to play huge stadiums like the O2 and performing to such huge crowds so early on was insane, last would be getting 3 top ten singles!!
If you could go back in time where would you go and why?
If I could go back in time I would go back to the first time we performed at the O2, I was soo so nervous I would have just loved to enjoy it more!

I try a new trend everyday I get so bored of doing the same one!
What’s your biggest fashion dilemma?
I don't really have any personal fashion dilemmas! There's just two options for me which are the comfortable look which would be my uggs and leggings or tracksuit bottoms with a jumper or hoody (this is normally when I am travelling in the car all day lol) or heels and an outfit!
