The Girls Aloud Party was a one-off Christmas variety show starring British girl group Girls Aloud, produced for ITV. The show was aired on 13 December 2008,[1] in between The X Factor series finale and its results show.

All five members took part in the Show unlike their previous TV effort. The Show generally consisted of the group performing singles and unheard songs as well as intercepted with sketches and interaction with the audience.

Background

Girls Aloud performed some of their biggest hits, as well as some tracks from their latest album, Out of Control.[2] James Morrison performed his track "Broken Strings" with Girls Aloud, while Kaiser Chiefs led into "Sound of the Underground" with their own track, "Never Miss a Beat". Along with performing, Girls Aloud performed comic skits[3] in which Cilla Black and Julie Goodyear starred as Nicola Roberts's grandmother and Sarah Harding's mother.[4]

Promotion

On 11 November, the official Girls Aloud website ran a competition in which 100 entrants would win tickets to the show.[5] The show was filmed in London on 2 December, as stated by the announcement.[5]

The programme was first advertised during The X Factor on 29 November 2008.[6]
