Most Embarrassing moment: A video clip of me farting on the Saturday Show

Having his name shouted out by adoring girls is something Calvin has had to get used to since joining the Juniors, but it still makes him feel uncomfortable. “It’s a really weird feeling having strangers call your name out,” shrugs Calvin. “Sometimes I’m not sure whether they’re shouting at me. I just don’t see myself as ‘the guy that everyone fancies’.” Calvin is by far the most laid back of the Juniors – he’s incredibly sweet ad easy to talk to. And what many fans wouldn’t know is that Calvin often wonders about the most bizarre things and is forever asking himself ‘what if’ questions. So Calvin, we’ve got one for you. What if Automatic High was the biggest selling singe of the year and what if you’re next single, New Direction, hit No1, and so did your album, Automatic High (Now changed to New Direction)? What would you do? “I think I’d cry,” smiles Calvin, Ahh, bless.

Calvin loves listening to Linkin Park and at heart he’s a real skater dude

Juniors Secret
"I hardly get any attention from the girls. They all love Aaron."

Fan Fact
"I’ve had a lot of people ask me for autographs on the soles of their shoes. I can’t help thinking that the autographs are going to come off anyway, so what’s the point?"

Advice
It’s always important to be yourself. Don’t ever pretend to be someone else and always set your mind to doing the best you can do.


Calvin loves...
Playstation: "I like shoot ‘em up games the best"
Roller-blading: "It's my favourite thing to do with my mates"

"Watching scary movies over and over again!"

A good curry. He loves them sooo much he could even eat one for Christmas dinner!

Aside from her studies Stacey also likes to practice an instrument that is very close to her heart.

What does she do in her spare time: Spending time with my family and friend

When Hannah got through the first stage of the S Club search she couldn't show her feelings because her sister did no get through.

I met Victoria Beckham and she was lovely,” laughs Hannah. “I was so excited I got an autograph for Roch and Frankie, but forgot to get one for myself.”
Hannah is the youngest member of the Juniors, but you’d never guess it. She’s incredibly bright for her age and in her spare time enjoys baking yummy treats. “I can’t really cook anything aside from cakes,” giggles Hannah, “but my all-time fave is chocolate cake with melted chocolate.”
Today, Hannah and the Juniors are learning the new dance routine to their next single New Direction. Dancing is something Hannah has had to work at but she also feels that it’s been worth the effort. “Although I don’t pick up a routine straight away I always try my best.” You’re best seems good enough to us, Hannah and there are plenty of fans out there who I’m sure would agree. So how about a slice of that chocolate cake sometime soon?

The story
This story is written by Amie Kershaw at http://www.gensteps.co.uk/sclubjuniors so if you would like a copy go to her website and email her and ask.


The juniors story is a remarkable tale of talent, tears, dancing, singing, touring and friendship. So where did it all begin for the 8 superstars we all know and love? Well.......

You may remember that just over a year ago cbbc went sclub7 mad! They were talking about something called the 'sclub search' it was going to be a nationwide set of auditions for a group of kids to become a 'junior' sclub 7 and support the band on the Wembley date of their carnival 2002 tour. Auditions were held all over England, Manchester, London, Birmingham- all the major cities and over 10,000 kids showed up to audition. People could also send in tapes, the response was phenomenal and so was the talent. The youngsters were whittled down and the final was held in London with sclub7 present! The kids, sung and danced their heart out- and in front of sclub 7, Nikki Chapman and their piers, it wasn't an easy task! Seven kids had to be chosen, and seven were, they were, Frankie, Daisy, Rochelle, Stacey, Calvin, Jay and Connor. Many kids were left disappointed, two of these were Hannah Richings and Aaron Renfree, little did they know that a day after their luck would dramatically change...

Back at the 19 management offices Nikki was discussing the juniors with the sclubbers and they decided to throw out the rule book, if they wanted 9 sclub juniors, they could have 9! Hannah and Aaron received phone calls telling them that they were wanted in the band! (Bet that was the best phone call of their lives!)

So the juniors were formed, 9 of them. Five gorgeous girls and 4 hunky boys, the talent was so good that the band was now a headlining support act for s club 7 and not just in London! The juniors were going nationwide to performing to thousands of people! But soon before the tour Connor quit the group, it left the juniors very surprised but they got back on their feet and practiced vocals and choreography! The tour went down a storm with the juniors picking up a fan base straight away!

It's now 2002 and the carnival tour is complete, the guys are best friends and have some stomping tracks under their belts, the question is what to release? The answer is obvious and 'One Step Closer' becomes the juniors 1st single, going straight into the charts at no2, and the members going straight into the hearts of fans everywhere. One Step Closer was a marker, and what a fab marker to have. The song sold over 250,000 copies and is one of the biggest singles of 2002! Not bad for a 1st single, but could they repeat this?

It's summer 2002 and the juniors are in Malaga, Spain, to shoot the vid for 'Automatic High' The summery track was different from One step closer, but it had one very important quality...once you hear it you want more! The girlies took lead on this single and the vocals were very impressive indeed, and oh how we all wanted school to finish so we could all go on holiday after seeing this vid. It was yet another pop gem and the juniors set out to promote it. It was another smash hit, going into the Uk official top 40 at number 2! People sit up and take notice...the juniors are here to stay!

Its summer....finally and the juniors take a new direction in the market...magazines! The s club juniors summer special 2002 was delivered to all good retailers and was swiped of the shelves as quickly as it had arrived! 34-info packed pages of scj! What genius!

Its August 2002, a year since the s club search and the third single is decided upon, a slightly more mature, Bollywood, inspired 'New Direction' the change worried some fans at first, what would it sound like, would it be able to match one step closer and Automatic high? What were they worried about? The 3rd single is anthemic, equally as catchy as the gangs previous two hits, even more so in a way. The video saw the juniors on a magic carpet flying over glamorous and beautiful destinations, like ocean views, deserts, cities at night and a car park!? How ever bizarre the car park thing is the single gave the juniors a hat-trick! It was released on the 7th of October and was ANOTHER no2 smash hit!

In the same month, on October 21st the gangs debut album was released nationwide, with faves such as One Step Closer, Automatic High and New Direction it offered 9 brand spanking new tracks. The album went straight in the official album chart at number 5!

Then there came the swoon some 'Puppy Love' It was the bands 4th single in a year-not bad going! The girls had taken the limelight and this time it was the boys turn to shine. Calvin sings lead on this track and if there was ever a song to send girls to jelly-Puppy Love was it and Calvin-was the guy to sing it. 'Puppy Love' was a HUGE success on music shows like 'The Box' and 'Smashhits' climbing to the no1 most selected song on BOTH channels at the same time!!!!! Puppy Love was given critical acclaim and many top music insiders said it was practically a sure-fire number1!! The gang released the single on December 9th 2002-up against another success story of 2002-Gareth Gates. Could the 8 piece beat the hottest solo star of the year? Let the battle commence!!! The juniors released puppy love and it reached number 6 in the charts! It was the 3rd highest entry of the week...and was only narrowly beaten to number 5 by Gareth Gates!

The juniors received some amazing news at the end of 2002. All four of the juniors singles released made it into the top 200 selling singles of the year, with One Steps Closer just missing out on the top 20! Also the gangs debut album 'Together' was in the top 100 selling albums of the year at number 54, beating BOTH s club albums 'sunshine' and 'seeing double' not bad going for a years work!

What more could we ask for? A tour? Well yes that too! The juniors embark on a tour of the UK with their chums s club (Paul left the band so they changed their name to sclub) The tour has sold out and see's the juniors traveling all over the country-yet again. Except this time it would be different-this time its personal!

Just over a year after their formation the juniors have 4 smash hit singles, a top 5 album, a top 20 biggest selling record of the year, an army of fans and by the end of April 2003-will have two tours under their belt-one as support act for the biggest pop group in the country- and one AS the biggest pop group in the country!!!

All that's left to say is who thought that the s club search would lead to all this? I'll leave you to answer that one! The future certainly looks bright for the superstars!
