Jade stars as Dee Dee in Tonight's the Night She became properly famous when she was added to the tumultuous Sugababes line-up later that year. She is currently starring in Ben Elton’s musical of Rod Stewart hits, Tonight’s the Night.
Here’s five things we learnt chatting to Jade...
They’re over
“I think, for now, it is the last of the Sugababes – but you can’t say anything for definite. It’s not like we can’t stand each other, it has just run its course.
“There was so much drama – the old line-up trying to reform – that the music got lost.”
Learning Rod Stewart songs is easy
“They are really easy because you don’t realise how much you know. You subconsciously absorb them because they are in the background of your life, like in adverts.
“I didn’t even realise how much I knew until we were in rehearsals.”
Overnight fame is surreal
“They were talking about me. I really wanted to say to the taxi driver ‘that’s me!’”
Succeeding at Eurovision can be ‘virtually impossible’
“It is so hard. Even though the songs can be great, it’s political voting.
“The year I did it, they (the UK team) were really supportive and pulled out all the stops. I was quite lucky. But if you haven’t got that behind you, it is virtually impossible.”
But afterwards, nothing is scary again
“It is the most nervous I have ever been. Because that was one of my first experiences, it makes everything else seem pretty easy in comparison.”
