was an instant success
with their 2002
Christmas UK number one

immense popularity
throughout their career
as a band. They also

in 2009.
In April 2009, Cole
officially confirmed
that she was going solo.
Her career has taken a
terrific start, with the
Fight For This Love
becoming the fastest
selling single of 2009
in the UK. The new album
3 Words was released on

ventured into a solo
career much earlier when
she featured on
Will.i.am’s Heartbreaker
in 2008. She also
appeared on the music

finds it harder to work
with the lads; being
