The Saturdays don't think they're sexy.

The British girl group - famed for their skimpy clothes and raunchy dance routines - can't understand all the male attention they attract but admit it's flattering to be considered attractive.

Singer Frankie Sandford said: "I don't think we are sex symbols. It's cool, but I don't really think of myself in that way. It's funny when you see things written about you. Our agent opened up a magazine the other day on the plane and there was a picture of me with my a**e hanging out. It was really awkward - we both sat there looking at my a**e! But it's cool. It's nice if people think we're hot."

Although they wear provocative outfits on stage, band member Una Healy claims they always look "classy".

She told Zoo magazine: "It's not exactly what you'd wear to walk down the street! It's very sexy and we're not ashamed of it. But we're not sl**s either. We're classily sexy.

"Every girl goes out on a Saturday night to be a sex symbol. When I walk into a bar, I never feel special because so many of the girls are stunning."

Frankie and Una are joined in The Saturdays by Mollie King, Vanessa White and Rochelle Wiseman.
