Now Girls Aloud reveal plans to make their big screen debut

They've conquered the charts, now Girls Aloud want to turn their attention to the big screen. The band members want to star in their own film and have been turning away scripts left right and centre, just waiting for the right one to come along.

Now while everything the girls touch turns to gold, two words spring to mind: Spice World.

Let's hope they can produce a better effort than the cinematic travesty produced by the Spice Girls in 1997.

Girls Aloud have not decided whether it would be a biographical story of their lives or a drama, but Kimberley Walsh said: "We want it to be a Friends and Sex And The City kind of thing, all morphed into one."

This will not be the first time the Girls have appeared on our screens. Their latest TV series Passions Of Girls Aloud is currently on ITV2 - and the entire band made a cameo appearance in St Trinians last year.

Speaking at the launch of the new KitKat Senses chocolate bar, Nicola Roberts said the filming whet their acting appetite.

She said: "It was an amazing experience to be in a film that was in the cinema. It was exciting and new for us. We'd really like the chance to do some more acting.

"We've been given a lot of dodgy scripts - they were all awful. One of them was a horror film, where we would have been running through the woods in our underwear."

Nadine Coyle said the girls would only do a film if they thought they could really do it justice.

Looking at the hype surrounding the Sex And The City movie - and that's only with four attractive girls - a Girls Aloud movie wouldn't have anything to worry about as far as publicity was concerned.

Ever the thoughtful one, Nicola said: "If we did make our own film, it would be really special. It would be a great thing to show the kids."

When asked what actor they would most like to work with, Nadine and Kimberley both agreed on Denzel Washington, so it looks like the film might be more action-packed then we might have thought.

They girls are currently in the process of writing a band biography, to be published at Christmas, and they have promised that a lot of scandal will be revealed.
