Britain’s hottest young boy band, are seated in a photographer’s studio in East London, catching up with the outside world on their laptops, iPads and mobiles.

With 1.2 million copies of their selftitled debut album sold, three No 1 singles and an awards cabinet filled with Mobos and Brits, the group have made the most of their time in the limelight since finishing as runners-up to Alexandra Burke on The X Factor in 2008.

Today, they’ve been on the promotional treadmill for their new second album, Outta This World. Earlier, they were in a nearby boxing ring where Aston, accidentally caught Oritsé in the jaw. Oritsé, for his part, was unruffled.

“I did martial arts, which I loved, from when I was a kid up until The X Factor,” the 22-year-old smiles. “Then my label boss told me I wasn’t allowed to do it anymore.”

“It’s his face, y’see,” quips JB, 23, the band’s musical maestro and quietest member. “We want to keep it that way.”

When JLS star Oritse Williams was 12, he should have been out riding his bike, kicking a ball or rehearsing the dance moves that would one day turn him into the idol of millions.

Instead, he spent his days juggling school with caring for his seriously ill mother, Sonia.

She developed multiple sclerosis and, Oritse, her eldest son, had to become the man of the house, looking after her and his younger sister and two brothers.

So, while other kids were out playing, the future JLS star was keeping the family together – helping care for his mother and making sure his siblings led as normal a life as possible.

In an emotional interview with the Daily Mirror, he reveals one terrifying incident when he saved his mother’s life when she had an attack while having a bath.

JLS member Marvin Humes has insisted that he and Rochelle Wiseman will remain friends following their recent split.

The singer told the News of the World that conflicting schedules caused their break-up, but described her as “an incredible girl”.

He said: “I’m on tour for two months and then as soon as I come off, she’s on tour for six weeks. We’re both very sad.

“It was a very tough decision but we truly believe – both of us – it’s for the best right now. We’re still very good friends and we still talk daily. She’s an incredible girl.”

Meanwhile, his band mate Aston Merrygold apparently said: “The wingman’s back! I took him out the other night.”

JLS hunk Marvin Humes has reportedly split from girlfriend, Rochelle Wiseman.

According to The Sun, Humes and The Saturdays star decided to part ways earlier this week, blaming work commitments for ‘driving them apart.’

The Love You More singer, who previously claimed that he ‘wanted to marry’ Rochelle, even moved out of his bachelor pad with fellow Jack the Lad Swinger, Aston Merrygold, to set up home with Wiseman in July.

A source told the newspaper: “Marv and Rochelle have decided to go their separate ways. Their work commitments mean they hardly see each other. It was a mutual decision to call time, they were like ships passing in the night.”

Rochelle is allegedly ‘devastated’ by their mutual break-up, understandably so after she once stated that Marvin was ‘The One.’

The couple’s split may come as a surprise to fans after the Missing You singer recently stated that Marv was ‘off the scale in bed’ and that she wanted to start a family with him.

Looks like it’s going to be a boy-band-fest on the X Factor later this month, with chart-toppers Take That, JLS and Westlife all confirmed to perform on the same show!

The trio of boybands will be special guests on Sunday, November 14th’s live results show, Simon Cowell has revealed.

The music mogul let slip that all three acts would be on the same programme during a judge Q&A last night, with a fully-reunited Take That performing their comeback single with Robbie Williams, ‘The Flood’.

Meanwhile, Louis Walsh’s Westlife will return once again to the show to sing their latest single ‘Safe’, and 2008 runners-up JLS will perform new track ‘Love You More’.

All three boybands will be competing over the next month for the prestigious number one spot in the UK charts – their campaign no doubt helped by a X Factor performance.

Next Sunday’s results show will feature appearances from Kylie Minogue and series two X Factor winner Shayne Ward.

ITV has confirmed that JLS will host a one-off Saturday night special later this year.

In a press release, the network revealed that “Britain’s biggest boyband” would star in This is JLS, which will be broadcast on ITV1.

The programme will see the ‘The Club Is Alive’ singers perform hits from their first self-titled album and its follow-up Outta This World. They will also surprise some unsuspecting fans with hidden camera stunts.

James Corden will also write and co-produce some of the sketches which will feature in the special – one of which will see the four bandmembers imagine what life could have been like if they had not joined the band.

“We are so excited to be doing a TV special with ITV!” the band said. “We couldn’t be happier to have been asked to it because it doesn’t happen to just anybody. It will be a real celebration of everything that has happened to us in the last two years. It’s going to be a great night!”

ITV’s controller of entertainment Layla Smith added: “JLS are the hottest boyband of today and such great performers so a whole show dedicated to them will be a huge treat for their fans and of course ITV.”

An airdate has not yet been confirmed, but it had been rumoured that the programme could be broadcast after The X Factor final in December.
