Goodbye Hollywood! The Saturdays fly home after a whirlwind week in LA

By Andrea Magrath

Photo-op: The Saturdays pose for one last picture before boarding their plane home to London after a whirlwind week in LA


It's been an exhausting week just watching The Saturdays shop, sunbathe, rollerblade and film their way around Los Angeles.

But their whirlwind adventure has come to an end, and Una Healy, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford, Vanessa White and Rochelle Wiseman jetted out of LAX last night - but not before posing for one last group photo.

The girls, as usual, did not dress for comfort for their long-haul flight. Rochelle looked as though she had been hitting the souvenir shops, and wore a cropped Beverly Hills top with jeans and heeled boots, while Una also played up the Americana theme with a cowboy hat, fringed boots and a slogan T-shirt which said 'Save a horse, ride a cowboy.'

Vanessa looked chic in a jeans and blazer combo with platform heels, Frankie wore tight skinny jeans and towering high heels, and Mollie wore a tight-fitting mini-skirt, T-shirt and a cute felt hat.

The girls took to Twitter before boarding their plane home, saying 'We'll back in the UK soon after an AMAZING week in L.A. We've missed you all, Team Sats!'

Una added on her personal account: ' Looking forward to getting back home and catching up what have I missed?! x'


Travelling in style: The band certainly dress for a long-haul flight, opting for mini-skirts, heels and tight skinny jeans instead


The girls were in LA to film the video for their latest single Higher, which wrapped yesterday. Una tweeted earlier: 'Hey everyone!! Long day shooting the new video yesterday but it was so amazing can't wait for you all to see it!!! :) Leaving LA today'

They were also followed by a camera crew as part of their new ITV2 reality show The Saturdays: 24/7, which premiered here on Friday night.

The Saturdays will undoubtedly catch up on some well-earned sleep on the 11 hour flight home. Since arriving in the US on August 23rd, the group have been spotted taking in the sights, shopping up a storm, and enjoying the Californian sunshine.


Shopping spree: The girls shopped up a storm on famous Robertson Boulevard, hitting celeb favourites Kitson and Intermix


Within 24 hours of arriving in Hollywood, the girls were rollerblading and bike riding around famous Venice Beach, and cruised the boulevard in a red convertible.

They shopped 'til they dropped on Robertson Boulevard at celebrity haunts Kitson, Intermix and Lisa Kline, and rubbed shoulders with one of the most famous faces in the world - a big purple dinosaur named Barney.

Rochelle spent time with boyfriend Marvin Humes of JLS, and after saying a tearful goodbye when he left town she cheered herself up by getting another piercing at an LA tattoo and piercing parlour.

They sampled American fare, eating a hearty American breakfast of pancakes at trendy West Hollywood spot the Griddle Cafe, and enjoyed Pinkberry frozen yoghurt.

The band also found time to catch up with blogger Perez Hilton, who they've known since they performed at a Liverpool concert he hosted two years ago, and chatted about their boyfriends, whether Cheryl and Derek Hough (branded 'gayface' by Perez) are for real.

'It seems like she just went on holiday with her best friend,' mused Rochelle. 'They don't look like they're romantically involved,' added Una. While they are happy to gossip about their fellow pop star, the girls didn't meet up with the Parachute singer while in town.

The British invasion of Hollywood is coming to an end though, as The Saturdays touch down in London this morning, and Cheryl is due back soon to resume judging duties on the X Factor.

Phew: Their exhausting schedule of shopping, eating, sunbathing, rollerblading and sightseeing will have tired out the group, who will undoubtedly get plenty of sleep on the trip home
