Pop star turns on paparazzi

As girl band The Saturdays tour Ireland and Britain, singer Mollie King regrets her loss of privacy,says Ed Power

BACKSTAGE in Birmingham, The Saturdays’ Mollie King takes a deep breath. She is describing life as a pop star. It seems scary.

“We’re at the stage now where we have paparazzi outside our homes,” she says. “It’s really disturbing actually. You want to nip out for a pint of milk and there are all these photographers there. You’re not going to go out all glammed-up when you’re running down to the shops, are you? You’ve got to live a regular life.”
