Saturdays star Mollie King looks great in her birthday outfit, but bandmate Frankie steals the show in a see-through number

By Daily Mail Reporter


Opposite ends of the spectrum: Mollie King kept it demure in her chic white number while Frankie Sandford maybe should have a little more covered up


Mollie King was joined by some of her popstar friends as she celebrated her birthday last night.

She took a large group of friends, including her Saturdays bandmates and members of boyband JLS, to Mahiki in Mayfair, London.

The birthday girl, who turned 24, looked great in a classy white number but it was bandmate Frankie Sandford who stood out like a sore thumb in a revealing black number.

Bottoms up: Frankie's male friend can't help but stare at her behind as they leave Mayfair nightspot Mahiki


The 22-year-old turned up in a see-through dress which made her underwear clearly visible to anyone who passed a glimpse at her - including a male companion who couldn't help but stare at her rear.

She completed the outfit with a matching pair of black ankle boots.

While Mollie sported a white dress with ruffled detail on the lower half, hemmed in with a metallic gold belt and accessorised with a pair of tan coloured peep toe heels.

Celebrations: The Saturdays singer was joined by friends and bandmates for the party which took place at Mahiki

Saturdays night out: Rochelle Wiseman and Vanessa White make their way out of Mahiki in Mayfair following Mollie King's birthday get together


With the two ladies juxtaposed with another Mollie was the clear winner in the fashion stakes, looking demure and classy in comparison with her bandmate who perhaps should have covered up a little.

The Saturdays singer turned 24 yesterday and hit London club Mahiki with bandmates Rochelle Wiseman, Frankie Sandford and Vanessa White.

Rochelle, 22, wore a figure-hugging black dress with black piping and Vanessa opted for a grey number.

Let's hear it for the boys: Marvin Humes and Aston Merrygold were also in attendance for Mollie's birthday

Three's a crowd?: Marvin leaves the Mayfair club hand in hand with Rochelle and her bandmate Vanessa


JLS members Aston Merrygold and Rochelle's boyfriend Marvin Humes, were also on hand to make sure celebrations went with a bang.

Rochelle held hands with her boyfriend as they exited Mahiki, in Mayfair, central London.

The two split late last year, but got back together and appear to be stronger than ever now they have reconciled.

The only member of The Saturdays missing from the equation was Una Healy, who had to miss out on the evening's events due to a wedding.

On her way out: Mollie and her friends are pictured leaving the May Fair Hotel en route to Mahiki round the corner


She did however treat her bandmate to a pair of beige coloured heels, and also tweeted an apology.

Obviously over the moon with her gift, Mollie tweeted a picture of the platform heels with the caption: 'I've just received the most amazing birthday present from @unahealy!!!! I'm a very lucky girl x'

On Friday the girls were pictured leaving a London studio after a gruelling 20-hour photo session for their 2012 calendar.

Overdone?: Frankie says her terracotta complexion is down to her recent holiday and not fake tan


Frankie's dayglo tan became a talking point as she left the studio appearing to be a bright shade of orange.

The singer later took to her Twitter account to argue that she simply had a very deep holiday tan and it was not fake.

A few weeks ago Mollie went public with her new beau David Gandy at the British Heart Foundation 'Tunnel of Love' party..

Mollie and her Essex-born beau - now one of the highest-paid models in the country - met at a party in March, and have been quietly dating ever since.

The singer split from ex-boyfriend Andy Brown earlier this year.

Gandy, who became a household name for the Dolce & Gabbana advertisement showing him in a tiny pair of white pants, has been linked with Lily Cole and Lindsay Lohan.

They might have ended their holiday in Marbella last week, but Maria Fowler and Samantha Faiers weren’t about to end the party once arriving back in Essex.

The Only Way Is Essex star Maria Fowler was spotted drinking Grey Goose vodka straight out of the bottle last night, while Miss Faiers was showing off a ring on her wedding finger.

Maria stumbled out of Nu Bar looking worse for wear at 2am before hitting the ground, while Sam dined with Joey Essex for a romantic date.


The 24-year-old reality TV star was falling over in her aqua blue dress by the end of the night and had to be helped up the stairs to leave the club by her male friend.

Maria initially walked out of the bar hand in hand with Ben Nathan, after encouraging him to drink straight from the vodka bottle too.

But when she walked up a staircase, Maria soon took a drunken tumble and was helped up by a mystery man.

While she was out last night, Maria wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Getting hammered in nubar.’

Can't stand up: The 24-year-old reality TV star was tumbling over after drinking too much vodka on her night out, a mystery man helped her out

Worse for wear: Maria Fowler needed to be escorted out of the club by a mystery man after partying with a friend earlier on in the night, thought to be her pal Ben Nathan (right)


And this morning tweeted: ‘Partying over. Being packed off to bootcamp for a week.’

After partying in the Spanish island last week, Maria had declared that she would book herself into boot camp once arriving home.

She wanted get into shape after too much drinking and eating unhealthy foods since the ITV series finished its second season.

Meanwhile, Sam and Joey, both 20, had dinner at The Brickyard Bar and Grill in Romford, Essex, and Sam shocked onlookers by wearing a ring on her wedding finger.

On to the wine: Maria then grabbed two bottles of wine and started drinking from the bottle again

Irresponsible drinking: Maria was given vodka from the bottle from a blonde girl friend she was out with at the bar


She couldn’t wipe the grin off her face as she held her hand out, boasting a little diamond ring on her left hand.

But her new accessory raised the question over whether Joey Essex has proposed to his girlfriend of only a few months.

Miss Faiers later confirmed that she is not engaged but it is merely a promise ring instead.

But she looked very much in love as she strolled around with Joey in a gorgeous strapless dress.

Cheryl Cole's American dream back on? Singer 'invited to rejoin X Factor USA'

By LARA GOULD

Friends again? Simon Cowell has managed to convince Fox executives Cheryl Cole is right for X Factor USA


Cheryl Cole was offered her job back on the X Factor USA last night – less than two weeks after being axed from the show.

The 27-year-old Girls Aloud singer and former judge on the British series was dropped amid claims that viewers couldn’t understand her Geordie accent and criticism of her performance on the panel.

But in a shock U-turn, Fox Television executives have given her a second chance after a personal intervention by X Factor supremo Simon Cowell.

Last night it remained unclear whether she would accept the offer, with a source saying: ‘The ball is in her court.’

The US network and Cowell have been criticised after it emerged Fox’s President of Alternative Entertainment, Mike Darnell – dubbed

the Rumpelstiltskin of Reality TV because of his 5ft 2in height – ordered Miss Cole off the show after he watched footage of her on the panel last month.

Significantly, since then, neither Fox nor Cowell’s representatives have released a statement confirming that Miss Cole had been sacked.

If Miss Cole – who has not been seen in public since she was axed from the show – decides to accept the offer, she could be back on the panel when auditions resume in New Jersey this week.


Back in the line-up? Cole with X Factor USA judges Antonio 'L.A.' Reid, Paula Abdul and Cowell and co-hosts Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger


If she agrees to the move, it would see Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger – who was given Cheryl’s place on the panel after her sudden exit – relegated to her original role as co-host with British TV pre¬senter Steve Jones.

But there was speculation the offer could be a plot by the American TV network to stave off any legal claim that Miss Cole could make for compensation against her sacking.

She was expected to receive a £1.2million payout in compensation despite filming only four episodes of the £100million series. However, if she then chooses not to accept Fox’s offer, it could reduce any payment the network would have to pay out.

Last night a spokesman for Miss Cole did not return calls.


A judge or co-host? Cheryl's return will mean Scherzinger - who performed on Britain's Got Talent last night - will revert to presenting


Miss Cole, one of four judges on the panel alongside Cowell, Paula Abdul and record producer L. A. Reid, flew back to Britain two weeks ago.

No official explanation has yet emerged as to why Miss Cole was dropped and sources close to her said she was not told why.

However, Fox executives were said to have complained about the ‘lack of chemistry’ between her and fellow judge Miss Abdul and concerns were raised about Miss Cole’s accent.

She was also criticised for her fashion sense and hairstyle after she arrived for her first day on the panel in purple trousers, an orange top and a backcombed hairstyle which Simon Cowell later said looked as if it was created in a wind tunnel.

Last week, British television executives gave Miss Cole the chance to resume her place on the ITV show – but she declined their offer after failing to respond to a deadline set for midnight last Saturday.

A source close to Cowell said last night: ‘Simon is staying out of this now. He has offered an olive branch but he is leaving the decisions up to Fox and Freemantle, the production company.


New panel: Louis Walsh is joined by Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Contostavlos and Gary Barlow at the Birmingham auditions of X Factor last week


‘Cheryl was offered the UK show because it was thought that would have made her happier. He just wants whatever is best for Cheryl.’

Her U.S. manager, Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.i.am said last week: 'Cheryl always comes back stronger, and she always comes back bigger. Cheryl has been through rougher things than this, so this is going to be no problem for her.

'It's easy to imagine Simon as this one-man empire, but that's not the case.

'He has people he needs to answer to and sometimes his hands are tied. I can only tell you what I've seen first-hand, that's a guy who deeply cares for her.'

The latest development comes just a few days after it was confirmed Mrs Cole would not be returning to the original UK X Factor.

Instead Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland joined the only remaining judge Louis Walsh on the panel at the Birmingham auditions last week.

Walsh said he had spoken to Cole and she was doing 'fine'.

He said: 'I talked to Cheryl today - we’ve been texting all day and we’re having fun. I think she’s going to be fine.

'Listen, from her texts today she’s absolutely fine.'
