In 2002 they were derided as a mere creation of TV. Seven years and 20 hit singles later, Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts explains why silver tinfoil clothes are bad and it’s actually been a dog of a decade – dalmatian, since you’re asking…

When ITV launched its boyband v girlband show Popstars: The Rivals in September 2002, the stage seemed set for a briefly chart-bothering, less credible version of Atomic Kitten. The boyband, One True Voice, filled those boots while Girls Aloud struck oil with Sound of the Underground, the first of 20 consecutive top 10 hits spanning seven years that have also seen the Brit-winning five-piece release five platinum albums’ worth of boundary-busting, 21st-century pop music, from Love Machine to Biology to Something Kinda Ooooh.

So you might think it wasn’t a bad decade in which to be a Girl Aloud. But when I speak to Nicola Roberts she seems unimpressed…

What will this decade will be remembered for?

It’s odd. I don’t feel it will be remembered for much. The 60s had a real feel to them, so did the 70s, the 80s, even the 90s. And I don’t think the same can be said for this decade. What is this decade? WHAT IS IT?

Nicola Roberts claims reading about new trends and designers is a compulsion for her, and she hates it if she isn’t knowledgeable about a new fad.

She explained: “I’m just a girl who loves fashion. I’m obsessed to the point of having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder about clothes. If I walk out of the house and I’m not happy in an outfit, it can ruin my day. I have to change.”

The 24-year-old singer – who has her own make-up range called Dainty Doll – added her style is constantly evolving, and she doesn’t mind if she occasionally gets looks wrong.

She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “I’ve got completely immersed in this world of fashion. I’m looking at it, reading about it, talking about it. I’m finding my way, finding my style and whatever anyone else thinks I’m really enjoying myself.

“I’ve discovered this passion for 40s and 50s clothes and a fascination for all these up-and-coming designers. I’m just finding out who I am, what my style is. Everything I wear, I wear because I love it.”

Ever since he clapped eyes on fellow Apprentice contestant Kate Walsh, Philip Taylor has been smitten with the blonde business woman. But Phil’s also hiding a bit of a secret – he’s a massive Girls Aloud fan!

And he’s admitted Nicola’s his favourite. “I like Nicola’s pale complexion,” Phil admits. “She got a hard time, but now she has come good and has a stood up for herself. The fact that she wasn’t trying as hard as them (the other 4 members of Girls Aloud) made her more appealing.”
