So, you're all following the latest pop feud, yes? In the blue corner are The Saturdays, you know, the all-female tat-peddling brand-partnership operation who occasionally sing songs. And in the red corner The Dolly Rockers, the slightly less polished girl group who first surfaced on the 'X-Factor' back in 2006 but who are back on everyone's radar as a result of Radio 1's Scott Mills bigging up their song 'Je Suis Une Dolly'.
Anyway, possibly aware that you can't beat a good feud if you want tabloid press coverage, one of the Rockers, Brooke Challinor, recently hit out at their somewhat more successful rivals, accusing them of being so manufactured that the actual identities of the group's members are irrelevant. Challinor told The Times "they could have been five completely different girls and nobody would have given a shit", before joking that perhaps her group should have some 'media training' before their next interview, remarking "you can see if that turns us into The Saturdays". Fellow Dolly Lucie Kay added: "We'd lose the will to live . If The Saturdays joined our band, they'd be ripped to pieces".
Responding, Saturday girl and former junior S Clubber Rochelle Wiseman posted the following Twitter message - "Dolly Trotters - aka CHAVS - don't like us, but use us for the press...wow...times are hard!", adding "anyway must dash, have a sold out tour to prepare for!"
So, that's fun.
