Wow! It’s been a crazy year for JLS!
JB: I know we can just about believe it.
Marvin: We’re still pinching ourselves. I mean we’ve had the most amazing start to our career, more than anyone could have hoped for. A number one single, awards, it’s just crazy. 
Aston: When you’re in the X Factor house you don’t really get to see what is going on in the outside world. And now we get to go out and see people and we have girls running after us and writing on the car with their lipstick. It still doesn’t feel real though. 

It sounds like a lot of fun. 
Aston: It is, at the time though it doesn’t sink in. When we go to our beds at night that’s when you think okay, today was a nice day, 1,000 girls ran after me down the street! 
Oritsé:  Every single day we’re doing something that we enjoy. For a long time we’ve wanted to be in a position like this and finally we are getting to do it. As clichéd as it sounds, all our dreams are coming true. 

How are you finding all the attention?
Aston: It’s horrible, ha ha! It’s really hard.
JB: It’s great but the craziest thing is when fans cry. Or scream and cry. We were at a book signing and someone walked passed us crying and said: “I’m fine, I’m just really, really happy.” But she was in tears. I don’t get it. It makes me feel a bit awkward because we’re the cause of her being upset. 
Oritsé: There is a JB fan and they called her the phantom hugger. Everywhere we go she turns up and hugs you and won’t let go. 
JB: She is lovely though, she is really sweet. 
Marvin: We have a great relationship with our fans. We know a lot of them now, they are the same ones that have been coming to see us since the start.
