The band was created on ITV's reality show 'Popstars: The Rivals' where each girl was voted into the band by the audience and then went head to head with the rival boy band to compete for the Christmas number one spot. Girls Aloud's single 'Sound of the Underground' won the top spot and was a huge hit. The band have continued to stay at the top with every single entering the charts in the top ten; a record that no other girl band has achieved. Band Members: Nadine Coyle,Cheryl Cole,Nicola Roberts,Kimberley Walsh and Sarah Harding Narrator: Paul Nicholls Producer: Vicky Crawley Episode Five The girls go to Shanghai at the request of Ken Livingstone to show China's young people what London has to offer. Although the girls are flattered it is clear that not all of them are keen travellers,Cheryl and Nicola find the culture shock almost too hard to bear and the Chinese's idea of a toilet almost sends them over the edge. The girls perform along with the winner of Chinese Pop Idol and say it was the worst performance they have ever done. Back in England Kimberley puts out some garden furniture on her roof terrace with boyfriend Justin and discusses how they have adjusted to living in London. Cheryl goes to see her family in Newcastle and comes away feeling down having been weed on by a puppy and after her nephew didn't recognise her. She talks about how difficult it is to get to see her family now that she has a life down in London with Ashley and a demanding work load.
