Lauren told us: 'You just have to accept as an artist that what you do isn't going to be loved by everyone.
'There are people out there that don't like Taylor Swift. I think they're a bit crazy, but they do exist. So, you know, we can't be for everyone and that's fine.'
They are the first girl group to represent the UK since Precious, who finished in 12th place in 1999 with Say It Again.
Holly explained: 'We're a band that have been together for over 14 years and we pride ourselves in our genuine friendship.
"I think that's our superpower — how much we love each other and no matter what happens, we'll still be solid at the end of it.

Tyson Fury's plane forced to land shortly after takeoff as ‘problem found' with boxing star & family left ‘terrified'
TYSON Fury was left "terrified" after a jet he was travelling on was forced to land shortly after takeoff due to a "problem" with the aircraft. The retired heavyweight boxer was travelling with his family after marrying his wife Paris for the third time, 17 years after they first tied the knot. 3 Tyson addressed his fans on Instagram, explaining how his plane had encountered a 'problem' Credit: instagram/tysonfury 3 The jet was forced to 'turn around' mid-air and return to where it had taken off from after travelling just '100 miles' Credit: instagram/tysonfury 3 The retired heavyweight boxer had been travelling with his family when their travel plans were scuppered Credit: instagram/tysonfury However, their transport plans were scuppered after the jet they were aboard was forced to turn around mid-air and return to where it took off from after travelling just "100 miles". Speaking to his fans on Instagram, Tyson explained how there had been a "problem with one of the wings" on the aircraft, meaning it had to "turn around". He said: "So, we've travelled 100 miles on the plane and the captain's come over to me and said 'we've got to turn this plane around because there's a problem with one of the wings and it won't fix on the computer so we gotta try and get back and turn around'". The Gypsy King, 37, filmed the clip while onboard the aircraft, saying he was left "terrified" by the flight scare. He said: "Talk about totally sh***ing yourself. So we're now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying." Clips from his stories on Instagram show the family aboard the aircraft as it turns back to where it took off from. Tyson captioned the video as "bad news". This comes after the retired heavyweight boxer tied the knot for the third time with his wife Paris. Fury first wed Paris in 2008, with his beloved wife having been by his side throughout his incredible career. The couple have seven children together; sons Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, nine, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, and Prince Rico, two, and daughters Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four. 'Third time lucky' - Tyson Fury marries wife Paris again in intimate ceremony in France 17 years after first nuptials All seven kids were by their parents' side in France as they renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony. Posting several pictures from the special occasion to his 6.7 million Instagram followers, the Gypsy King wrote: "Paris Fury and I got married again; third time lucky. "We had the most beautiful day in the South of France, it holds a lot of special memories for us." Fury accompanied his post with Bruno Mars' 2011 hit "Marry You". Paris, 35, appeared to wear a bespoke white dress by self-portrait for the occasion while the Gypsy King wore a relaxed cream shirt, white shorts and sandals. The event took place in a picturesque French church and it appeared to be a family affair, with just the couple's kids in attendance. HAPPILY RETIRED... FOR NOW Fury announced his retirement from boxing in January following his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk Last month, however, the Gypsy King's promoter Frank Warren said of his man: "He's made it clear he wants to fight Usyk." But asked about a potential retirement U-turn while out at Doncaster Racecourse earlier this month, Fury said: "Never. "Too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing is a young man's game."

'I don't want to be Gary Lineker': Kelly Cates on Sky, Match of the Day and social media
Kelly Cates is about to begin the busiest year of her career. That, to be fair, is an estimate, because the football presenter and broadcaster has always been a grafter. From Setanta Sports to Channel 5 there are few places where she has not applied her blend of deep knowledge and emotional warmth, and as of this weekend she will be the face of the BBC's and Sky's coverage of the Premier League. The action gets under way at a second home, Anfield, from where Cates will host Sky's Friday Night Football coverage of Liverpool v Bournemouth. This follows two preview shows for the BBC, and precedes her first shift on Match of the Day. Asked whether her schedule might be daunting, Cates appears almost bemused. 'I've just got busy weekends, but I work in sports so I expect to have busy weekends,' she says. 'It's not as complicated as you think — there's a very fast train to Manchester.' Cates, speaking at Sky's HQ, says she doesn't want to sound cliched but 'it's good to keep doing new things'. Her new roles are a chance to 'keep things fresh'. Having worked in the industry for 27 years, starting with a presenting role on the opening morning of Sky Sports News, 'to get a chance to do something new and still have the live football and have so many live games, it's just really lovely to have that balance'. For many years Cates had to endure questions that her colleagues don't; from being a woman in a man's world to being the daughter of a football legend, Sir Kenny Dalglish. She has long since carved out her own place in sports broadcasting, however, so when she was approached for the role of Match of the Day host, alongside Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan, Sky immediately brokered a deal that would keep her on its roster too. While her male colleagues may get more attention, usually adjacent to some controversy, Cates's less combative approach has helped to shape contemporary coverage of football on TV (and radio). Her more approachable and conversational style is suited to the age of podcasting and long‑form interviews. Gary Lineker hosted Match of the Day for 26 years. 'I think that the tone generally has changed to become more conversational on air, and I think that's probably because that's come from digital,' she says. 'A lot of that was fan-led and a lot of it was just people starting up on their own at the beginning. But I think you can have a conversational tone without having a conversation, and you can still interview somebody while having a conversational tone.' Cates offers another distinction from many of her peers; she is not an avid user of social media. She has no account on X and tends to use Instagram to promote her work rather than share her worldview. 'I haven't ever really used my social media for that, so it isn't something that I'm going to have to change,' she says. 'I think that in a lot of cases, I'm not the best-placed person to talk about some of those issues. And I think there's a tendency to believe that if somebody isn't talking about something they don't care about it. I think it's perfectly possible to care about something and keep quiet and let experts talk about it, which I think is a lot of the time better. I always feel like if I couldn't cope well with being challenged heavily on it, then I shouldn't be putting my opinion out publicly.' That she should be asked about her posting reflects the Gary Lineker-shaped presence in the room. Cates, Chapman and Logan are being asked by the BBC to team up to replace a broadcasting legend, with all the public scrutiny that entails. Cates says she has not spoken to Lineker about the job, but defends his reputation despite his being a 'controversial' figure. 'He hasn't got in touch and I haven't got in touch with him, but not because we're avoiding each other. We just don't know each other that well. I think [Chapman] was saying that Gary said: 'Why would I tell three broadcasters how to do their job?' Which is very lovely of him because he was brilliant at the job. And as much as he was a controversial character at times, any focus group that researched these things would tell you how much he was adored in that role.' On how she will approach following in the footsteps of yet another football legend, Cates is matter of fact. 'I don't want to be Gary. I think there's a temptation to try and be someone else, and I think that you get a job because of yourself. If then you try to be someone else, it can all just get a bit confused. I don't need another thing to think about. I don't need to be sitting there thinking: 'What would Gary do?'' Cates has enough the talent and experience to help her adapt to her new prominence. Britons will see a lot more of her on their screens and she will be watching even more football. Is there any possibility that more could become too much? 'If it was going to happen, it would have kicked in by now,' she says with a smile. — Guardian
