So good luck.

Is that right?

16 or 17.

It's something around there.

Oh, that is hideous.

That's nine years ago.

Yeah.

babe simon cowell loves a girly of color okay i could i could have sung nish and i did sing it and simon went she's a star and i went oh amazing he was rooting for you no matter what he wanted me to be his sunita and i was and i said put me in palm leaves and make me a star that's what i said

no I'm fucking obsessed so when you were on you were in the band he said no was it your band or did they create you so basically this is actually I think people don't realise this because we were speaking about this me and Jack on our pod recently that most people think that if you go onto X Factor as a band you've like been doing the guitar with them since you were 8 in the garage in your mum's

I think everyone thinks that, but so many of those bands are put together for... By production.

Or for purpose of the show.

So I auditioned, it wasn't necessarily by X Factor production.

But I auditioned to be in a girl band, lol.

Like a year before.

And it was a totally like separate production company.

They put us together.

So these weren't my like childhood mates.

You didn't really know them that well.

And like I ended up really loving the girls.

Absolutely.
