Nicola Roberts has a busy week ahead

Now, as you probably know, heatworld absolutely LOVES Nicola Roberts. From her ginger hair right down to her fancy shoes – she’s the Queen Of Ginge and we’d do a curtsey if she ever walked past us. Or throw our coat over a puddle so her feet wouldn’t get wet… that sort of thing. We love her so much, we even made a Nicola Roberts T-shirt the other week.

But enough of our love – Nicola’s just revealed her exciting plans for her second single, Lucky Day. She’s off to New York next week to film the video, and if the Beat Of My Drum video is anything to go by, it’ll be a bit ace (and fingers crossed there’s a dance routine too). But what’s it all about?

“The song is about a boy not playing along, but in the end you win him over and it's your lucky day,” says Nic. “You can take it however you want, though, maybe you won on the scratch cards and so you had a lucky day, that kind of thing.”

Nicola also spoke about her performance on Paul O’Grady's show earlier this month – and revealed it was filmed in the exact same studio as Popstars:The Rivals, the very same place where she first got into Girls Aloud back in 2002. “What was weird is that he films his show in the exact same studio as we filmed Popstars: The Rivals nine years ago, so I felt like I was stood on the same stage on my own again singing,” she says.

*sobs* You’ve come a long way, Nic. Thank you for making the pop world a better place. Now, can someone pass us a hankie?
