Flower Power! The Saturdays turn on the charm to raise money for Marie Curie's daffodil appeal

Flower Power: The girls gave up their Saturday to help raise funds for the Cancer Care Daffodil Appeal in Westfield


They have only just finished their U.K. so you would think that The Saturdays would like a weekend off.

But the hard-working singers, who are more used to strutting their stuff on stage, than standing around a shopping centre, gave up their Saturday to help a good cause.

Frankie Sandford, Mollie King, Una Healy, Vanessa White and Rochelle Wiseman got into the fundraising mood at Westfield earlier in the day to help Marie Curie raise money for their Cancer Care Daffodil Appeal.

And while the girls are used to sexy sequined numbers stepping out in their best the girls were happy to don bright yellow plastic bibs to help encourage shoppers to coff up some cash.

But the girls got off lightly as other volunteers dressed up as the bright yellow flowers in order to raise more money.


Turning on the charm: The girl group made every effort to make sure shoppers didn't get away without making a donation


Come on dig deep: Mollie cornered a male photographer and used her feminine charm to ask him to donate to the appeal


The girls showed off their trim figures – which must be seriously their U.K. tour – in skinny jeans and all girls wore heels to teetering around the shopping mall.

The girls took to Twitter to encourage fans to make their way down to Shepherds Bush ans Vanessa posted: ‘Looking forward to collecting a LOT of money for @mariecurieuk today! Make sure you all donate! every daffodil helps!!!’


Photo opp: As well as raising funds the girls also made some time to pose for picture with happy fans


And the girls were certainly on a mission as they approached lots of shoppers and turned on the charm.

Fans were also eager to meet the girls and they happily obliged taking pit stops posing for photos with a number of shoppers.

Later Rochelle, who is back together with JLS hunk Marvin Humes posted: ‘We were collecting money in Westfield, for our charity Marie Curie! We raised a lot I think :) x

The 21-year-old jetted back from a romantic trip to Dubai with her man and the pair looked more loved-up than ever as they arrived back in Heathrow on Wednesday.
