How did Rochelle Humes start her career in music?
I made more money in Escobar Juniors than I did in the Saturdays. What? So at the time, you're the chosen one. So you never want to rock the boat because you're like, do you know how many girls would be whipping these extensions out ready to put them in there? We'd leave a club and photographers would be on the floor trying to get up our skirts. And it was that horrible era. And we weren't earning enough money. It wasn't like, OK, I don't like this anymore. Let's stop. It was not necessarily the life that I suppose people thought that it was. Sorry. Oh, you didn't know this? No. Hi, I'm Rochelle Humes and I'm in great company.
Marvin apparently took your phone, put his number in it, called himself.
What life lessons did Rochelle learn from her single mother?
He called my phone and then there's a number calling me that I don't know and I answer it.
It's like, hi, it's Marvin.
Do you know what I mean? I'm like, come on. Our first date, we just went for a drive. We went to a drive from McDonald's.
Did you fancy him?
How awful. And I married him.
Your dad wasn't around? No. And he left when you were one?
I remember waiting for him. That then being like, oh, he's not coming today. There were so many years that I was like, I'd be really upset about it or really angry.
What challenges did Rochelle face after The Saturdays?
My mum, she raised me and my sister solo. She had me in a hostel. What she did as a single parent, I never knew that we didn't have a lot. Life-wise, sort of financially, I never knew.

Guys, welcome back to another episode of Great Company. Really excited because we have Rochelle Humes on the podcast today.
How did Rochelle and Marvin Humes meet for the first time?
Okay, Rochelle is one of my friends within the industry and I've been trying to get her on the show for ages. She finally said yes. Let's go. Today we talk about so many things. She was born in a hostel and her mom, who's an incredible person, had to work so many jobs to keep everything afloat. Incredible story. Her uncle played a lot in growing up as well, and her uncle was Paul Ince, is Paul Ince, the England footballer. Incredible, I had no idea about that, which is amazing. We talk about joining S Club Juniors when she was 11 years old, and then joining the Saturdays as well, if you're a Saturdays fan. And the fact that she earned more money doing S Club Juniors than she did in the Saturdays. That is wild.
We talk about Marvin Humes, her husband, where they met when they first dated and everything around that. So much in the show for you. Okay, now before we start, I'm going to ask you just two things. If you haven't watched mine and Sophie's Disney Plus show called Raising Chelsea, it's out there right now.

This is no wonder I can actually sing. So I'm going to... Wow. And this is what I showed to my team this morning.
How does Rochelle balance her career with motherhood?
So I sing The Lion King. It's the only thing that gets my baby to relax.
Which song?
I'm going to sing it for you. And you have to judge if I can sing. Are you ready for this? I think so. Can you feel the love tonight? Okay, I'm actually surprised. That was good, guys. I know. I know. And I can go higher. Yeah. Ready?
What inspired Rochelle to create her brand My Little Coco?
And I'm going to go higher for you one more time. Okay. Can you feel? No, I'm not going to do it.
Oh, God.
I can't. I'm not mad at it. Wait, so he loves this?
Loves it more than anything. Loves it more than anything.
I mean, you found your fan.
Do you still remember S Club Juniors?
