The Saturdays star Una Healy is planning a move to the US — so there’s unlikely to be a reunion in UK
THE Saturdays reunion won’t be happening soon – unless it’s in the US.
Una Healy is planning to relocate her family there as rugby-playing hubby Ben Foden is close to signing a deal to play in the States.
I didn’t even know they had rugby league teams out there but, in an exclusive interview, she said: “There’s one in New York. He’s in talks with them now.
“We are committed to going as a family. I don’t think we could live different lives in separate cities across the Atlantic. It wouldn’t be right.”
The Saturdays haven’t performed together since 2014 but Una will sing one of their tunes on her debut solo tour, which will take her to Killarney, Galway, Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester and London over the next fortnight.
But on leaving the UK, she said: “It’s at that point where I’m ready to move on and do something different. Still music, but see what opportunities come along with that.”
Not even One Kiss
AFTER I told you One Kiss singer Dua Lipa’s boyfriend Isaac Carew was in hot water after being filmed with a mystery brunette, and it hasn’t taken him long to try to get out of it.
On Instagram last night he said he was “disappointed at myself for even dancing”, but insisted there was no kissing during the scene at London’s G-A-Y nightclub.
He added: “I wouldn’t want you to think Dua is in a relationship with someone who doesn’t love and respect her.”
More importantly, what does Dua think?

JURASSIC World: Fallen Kingdom scored a gigantic opening weekend, raking in £14.3million at the UK box office.
It was leaps and bounds ahead of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which grossed £1.2million in its third week, taking its total to £16.4million.
Anti-gun Campaign
Camila Cabello took a political stand at her first solo London show.
She showed footage of Black Lives Matters protests and anti-gun demos as she sang Something’s Gotta Give.
She said she wrote the song about wanting to escape a “toxic relationship” but said “the meaning of it has changed for me”.
Camila scheduled her solo gigs between dates supporting Taylor Swift but was joined by another friend, Anne-Marie, on hit single Rockabye at the O2 Academy Brixton.
All these celeb pals . . . Taylor’s taught her well.

IF there is ever a Deadpool 3, Kanye West is ready to write the score.
He tweeted: “I love both Deadpool movies . . . I heard tracks in it that sound similar to mine . . . bro I would have cleared my music for Deadpool.”
Stars come out to play
TV presenter Lizzie Cundy’s 48th birthday bash saw lots of stars come out to play.
Strictly’s Bruno Tonioli, Ola and James Jordan were with her at London restaurant Caramel, as were Anthea Turner and Eamonn Holmes.
Bruno was with toyboy boyfriend Matt Law and the lively party lasted well into the early hours.
Lizzie, far left with Melinda Messenger, teased that she has a new ITV show due soon, and managed to stay centre of attention in a shimmering bespoke Julien Macdonald dress which showed off her incredible figure.
If she’d said it was her 38th bash nobody would have batted an eyelid.

Kath's The Greatest Showmum
THE Greatest Showman rightly took home the soundtrack award at the Classic Brits, and the very glamorous Katherine Jenkins was on hand to help celebrate.
Katherine, who gave birth to son Xander in April, welcomed the opportunity to sing Never Enough at London’s Royal Albert Hall, saying: “It’s nice to get out of my pyjamas.
“It’s my first proper night out because obviously the baby is really small.
“It’s not easy but I love being a mum – it’s just the best thing.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber got a Special Recognition Award, Andrea Bocelli was Classic Brits Icon, while Michael Ball and Alfie Boe were the big winners with both Group and Album of the Year.

America buzzing for teen Courtney
Cheryl Tweedy, Take That and Boyzone have all struggled to make it big in America.
But now a youngster from the village of Hesleden in County Durham is poised to succeed where they all failed.
Courtney Hadwin, just 13 years old, has won a place on the next phase of America’s Got Talent.
Her incredible audition wowed the panel and saw her fast-tracked to the live shows.
Speaking about her awesome performance, Simon Cowell said: “Bloody hell, Courtney. You were this shy little thing when you first came out and then you sing and you’re like a lion.”
Insiders at the show believe Courtney could replicate the success of former teenage winner Grace Vanderwaal, who has gone on to make millions in the two years since she won the show.
Her appearance is expected to be downloaded 100million times over the next 48 hours, with Courtney guaranteed a huge future as music industry heavyweights Billboard and Rolling Stone got behind her.
One insider told me: “Courtney came to the US to try to become a global star and at this rate that is already becoming a reality.
“She’s taken on the biggest show of its type and triumphed, and the numbers speak for themselves.
She will have reached 100 million people in a couple of days, and that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the record industry.m There is real potential for her to make tens of millions on the back of this.”
Courtney got a standing ovation from following her stirring rendition of Otis Redding's Hard To Handle. Judge Howie Mandel was so impressed he even hit the golden buzzer to send her straight through ton the live shows.
Timid Courtney seemed to have her very own Susan Boyle moment after telling judge Mel B she was “nervous” ahead of her audition. But she soon had the judges on their feet as she belted out the 1968 soul track and jumped around on stage.

Courtney is no stranger to telly talent shows.
She appeared on The Voice Kids last year where her feisty version of Ike and Tina Turner's Nutbush City Limits prompted Danny Jones to spin his chair round. She went on to reach the final but lost out to Jess Folley.
Courtney will be hoping history doesn’t repeat itself when it comes to America’s Got Talent.
