Early life

edit

Bridge was born in Upminster, Greater London, on 14 January 1989. According to Bridge, her parents are very "sporty" and she would hate Sundays due to them making her do sport,[9] therefore Bridge began taking dance lessons from the age of three at her local Community centre.[9][10] Bridge auditioned for Colins Performing Arts, a drama school in Romford, and sang a song from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,[9] which she practised daily with the school choir. She was successful in receiving a place at the school.[9] Bridge was inspired to audition for the school after seeing future bandmate, Rochelle Humes perform at the opening evening.[9] Bridge began auditioning for roles in television shows and adverts when she was just nine years old, and although she did well and often making the final, she didn't receive any parts she auditioned for and began questioning whether or not she was good enough, and therefore began taking an extra two private acting lessons a week.[9] She has a sister.

In her early teens she won a contest for her performance of "Macavity" from the musical, Cats and her mother taught her the song, choreographed the routine and made her outfit.[9] In the book The Saturdays: Our Story, Bridge revealed she was very poor at Mathematics in school and her school report revealed she was well behaved as a child and would only receive detention for forgetting homework.[9]

Bridge previously worked in a bar in her local town during the week and had a Saturday job as a sales assistant at an AllSaints concession in House of Fraser, Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex.[11][12] From a young age Bridge suffered from severe depression.[13] Bridge studied dance in her after-school hours. and enrolled at a stage school near Romford to study musical arts.[13] Her grandmother would call her 'Sunshine and Showers' because of her very upbeat personality when she is happy and very down personality when she is sad.[13] Following the death of her grandmother, Bridge got the words tattooed onto the bottom of her neck.[13]

Career

edit

2001–2005: Beginnings and S Club 8

edit

S Club Juniors were formed in 2001 through a reality television show, S Club Search.[14] The auditions were aired on children's television channel, CBBC. The concept of the show was to find a spin-off S Club 7. The show documents the auditions and formation of the group, with S Club 7 as the judges of the show.[15] The winning individuals of the show would be guaranteed a place in the spin-off group.[14] Although, the group were originally formed to only perform and support S Club 7 at Wembley Arena date of their Carnival Tour, S Club Juniors' appearance was considered a success and consequently 19 Entertainment, the management company that had created S Club 7 and auditioned S Club Juniors, decided they should perform as the support act at all of the venues on the tour.[16] The group made their debut television appearance as a group on Children in Need in November 2001. By the time the group had finished touring with S Club 7, they had earned a substantial following and with the encouragement of 19, Polydor Records signed the group. They released their first single "One Step Closer" in April 2002, the group promoted the single by featuring in a four episode television special S Club Junior: The Story, aired on BBC.[17] The song went head-to-head in a chart battle with the Sugababes' comeback single "Freak like Me". Eventually, the song debuted at number two in the UK, though the group were predicted to chart at number-one in the midweek sales, but dipped over the weekend selling roughly 73,000 copies in the first week, compared to the Sugababes' 85,000 copies. "Automatic High" was released as the second single from the band's first studio album, the single also reached number two in the UK charts selling 52,000 copies, and spent eight weeks inside the UK top 75. The group began working on their debut studio album in June 2002; working with Cathy Dennis, Carole King, Gerry Goffin Tracy Ackerman, Hannah Robinson and Mikkel S. Eriksen (of Stargate). Bridge was the only member of the band to get a solo in every chorus of the song. A third single was released from the album, "New Direction" and again charted at number two in the UK.[18] The Juniors released their debut album Together (2002) on 21 October; it reached number five in its first week of sale and sold 40,000 copies.[18] A fourth single, "Puppy Love/Sleigh Ride", was released in December 2002. The song was also featured in the soundtrack for film Love Actually.

The group announced their first headlining concert tour, S Club United: The Tour; the group would co-headline the tour with original band, S Club 7.[18][19] Where the group opened their setlist with the song "I Come Alive".[19] It was on tour the band announced they would be changing their name from S Club Juniors to S Club 8, due to members of the group getting older.[19] On tour the band added two new songs to the setlist of their tour; "Fool No More" and "Sundown".[19] "Fool No More" was revealed as the group's fifth single, released in June 2003, debuting at number four on the UK Singles Chart selling 26,000 copies in the singles first week. "Sundown" was announced as the second single from the album in September 2003 and the track became the band's sixth top-ten single, selling roughly 40,000 copies in its first week. Sundown (2003) was unveiled as the album's title in September and the album was released in early October 2003.[18] Sundown reached number 13 in the UK charts, falling to number 40 in the second week. Despite selling a total of 60,000 copies in the UK and 315,859 worldwide, the record company perceived the album as a failure.[20][21] A third and final single was released, "Don't Tell Me You're Sorry", which charted at number 11. The group went onto star in children's television show, I Dream for 19 Entertainment; where the group played "exaggerated versions" of themselves. They used their own names to play the characters in the show; Simon Fuller hoped this would increase the audience, seeing the life of S Club 8.[22] Each episode of the show includes several (usually two or more) songs and dance numbers involving both members and non-members of the band. Cast member George Wood called the show "a modern day Fame".[22] During this time, the band recorded the soundtrack to the show Welcome to Avalon Heights. The band announced their split in 2005.
