JLS - X Factor 2008

X Factor’s JLS were forced to leave a recent Take That gig early after being mobbed by fans.

“It was really funny because when Jason [Orange] began to sing his solo, someone spotted JLS and loads of people turned their backs on the stage to take pictures and chant their name instead,” a source told The Sun.

“They had to sprint through the corridors to get out and were escorted to their taxi to avoid all the attention.”

Not surprisingly, the group hope that their career emulates Take That’s in both popularity and longevity.

“They are working non-stop right now sharpening their act, training with dancing and singing, getting ready for their new single. But they wanted to take a night out to see Gary and the boys,” a source added.

“Watching Take That brought it all home for them. They really want to emulate that success and admitted they hope to fill Wembley one day too.”
