Sofeminine talk to Sugababe Heidi Range

We talk to Sugababe Heidi Range

Sofeminine talk to Sugababe Heidi Range Heidi Range: Looks like it's going to be a red hot summer Heidi Range is the longest standing member of the Sugababes and is one of the most down-to-earth girls in the music industry. And as some of the longest-standing Sugababe fans we were more than excited when we had the chance to catch up with her. She's recently teamed up with Gallo Family vineyards to launch Gallo Summer - a red wine that you can drink chilled. The Sugababe has made a bold statement too by dying her usually blonde locks a striking shade of red - rocking the red trend as championed by A-listers Rihanna and Blake Lively. We caught up with her to talk about her dramatic new red-hot look and find out how she chills out in between launching a new album and planning for her wedding to MTV presenter Dave Berry. You've always been a blonde bombshell - how do you feel about going red? Do you think you will stay red?I’ve had a lot of fun trying it and it’s a great vibrant look for the summer! What is your best kept beauty secret/best piece of beauty advice you'd pass on?Cleanse, tone, moisturise. When do you find yourself enjoying a glass of wine? With friends? Over dinner? Night out?You can’t beat al fresco dining with a glass of wine when the sun is shining! I also like to invite my friends round, get some music on and try on my favourite dresses whilst sharing a bottle of Gallo Summer Red. Sounds like fun! But what about down-time? How do you chill out?With friends outdoors and always with food! I love spending time in the garden so you would probably find me there. Heidi is rocking the red-head look © Gallo Do you have a signature dish that you cook really well?I do a great soup with chicken, barley and vegetables. It’s really healthy and fills you up! Where do you shop for your wardrobe?As you can tell I’m really into jump suits at the moment, especially the different printed and floral ones. I recently bought a jumpsuit from French Connection that can be dressed up or down. It looks great with a tight belt and high shoes. I’m also a massive fan of Ray Bans, so I'm going shopping to check out the new styles soon. What is next for the Sugababes?We’re currently recording our new album and we’re planning to release our first single from it in the next couple of months. We’re very excited for everyone to hear it. We’ve got lots of gigs coming up this summer - the dates will be announced on the Sugababes website, so keep your eyes peeled! Are you tempted by a solo career?We’re all happy. As time goes on, you all grow in different directions and want different things from life. We’re all enjoying it now and hopefully it’ll all carry on harmoniously. Heidi Range is launching Gallo Summer Red, the fruity and refreshing red wine from Gallo which is designed to be served chilled. For more information visit: www.gallosummerred.co.uk

Heidi Interview with Asda Magazine Online

Thanks to @Heidi_RangeFan for the heads up

Heidi Range interview Asda Magazine Online’s Maxine Clayman speaks exclusively to the longest-standing member of the Sugababes How does it feel to be the longest-serving Sugababe? I’ve been in the band for 10 years now and I’m really proud of that, but I don’t really think it  matters how long each of us have been part of the group. What can we expect from the Sugababes this summer? We’re currently recording our new album and we’re planning to release our first single from it in the next couple of months. We’re very excited for everyone to hear it. We’ve got lots of gigs coming up this summer – the dates will be announced on the Sugababes website, so keep your eyes peeled! What’s your favourite track from your last album and why? It’s a ballad called Little Miss Perfect. I love that we all get to sing out on this track and, even though it wasn’t a single, we like to put it into our set. You’re also fronting a campaign for the launch of a new wine, Gallo Summer Red. Are you a bit of wine connoisseur? I wouldn’t call myself a wine expert. For me, it’s all about trying different wines until you find one that you like. I really like the new Gallo red wine because you serve it chilled, so it’s nice and refreshing on a hot day. And you’ll soon be tying the knot to TV presenter Dave Berry. How do you find time to fit your wedding plans into your hectic schedule? We’re not getting married till later in the year, so we’re not in a huge rush right now. We’re enjoying taking our time and looking at different venues. And I’m buying loads of bridal magazines for inspiration – I’m running out of room on the coffee table! Any tips for brides-to-be? From advice that friends have given me, just make sure your wedding day is about the two of you. They say you should try to schedule in half an hour on the big day so you and your husband can be alone to relax and take it all in. What kind of wedding are you guys planning – are we likely to see it in OK! Magazine? We want it to be an intimate, low-key affair, with close friends and family. We haven’t decided where we’re going to get married yet. It might be Liverpool or London, or it could be abroad. If it’s in England I fancy a winter wedding so I’m not disappointed with the weather. I hear that designer-to-the-stars Vera Wang is creating your wedding dress? We did a gig last Christmas, where we met Vera Wang’s daughter. She said Vera would love to make wedding dresses for the whole band. I wasn’t even engaged then, which was quite funny, as Dave proposed the next day! What about your honeymoon plans? I’d love to have a long honeymoon and visit a few different places rather than just one destination, so at least three weeks would be great. At the beginning of our relationship, Dave and I went to New York to celebrate New Year. That’s where we fell in love, so it’s a really special place for us. We’ve been back a few times since. You’re not a fan of flying – do you have any other phobias? I don’t like driving on motorways. I get a bit panicked by everyone driving too fast, so I usually try  to avoid them.
