Summer's packed up and headed South, folks. So let's wave it goodbye with some of Girls Aloud's hilarious summer mishaps.

TOTP: So have you ever had an incident with lost luggage?
Nadine: Sarah has...
Sarah: Oh yes, more than once. I was coming back from Cyprus about two years ago. And I came back to Heathrow and my luggage went to Vienna. We had a gig the next day and I had a load of stuff in it for the gig so it was a nightmare. I had to buy loads of new stuff. And the other time was when we were coming back from Vegas to LA and I got stranded in LA and missed my connecting flight back to Heathrow. And my luggage, well I dunno where it went, but eventually it got found, like the next day, but I thought it had gone back to Heathrow without me.
Nadine: So she had to wear my dress for a major TV show.
Sarah: I had to go straight to Holland the next day because I didn't have time to go back to Heathrow and then to Holland with these guys. So that was a bit of a...
Nadine: Nightmare!
Lost Luggage TOTP: So you're lucky you have the other girls in the band to borrow clothes off then?
Nadine: Yes, exactly. That is a good thing that we're all ROUGHLY the same size.

TOTP: Have you ever returned from a holiday with any strange injuries?
Nadine: Yeah, and I've actually still got that injury. I went to Thailand this year. And I didn't get any bites at all. No mosquito bites, no nothing. Except for one night when I was in bed. I got like a bite on my big toe and it's never been the same since. Never been the same. And everything takes longer to heal out there for some reason. So I've still got some cuts.

TOTP: Really? Have you ever returned with any injuries from accidents while enjoying your holiday a little 'too much'?


Nadine: No.
Sarah: Well I get injuries without being drunk, I don't need that. I just fall over, I'm so clumsy. And oh, I haven't got the jeans on but...

Nadine: Oh yeah.
Sarah: My other jeans have got a nice big authentic rip in from where I fell over while I was in LA.
TOTP: That's cool, at least it's authentic, and not with designer cissors.
Sarah: Yeah.

TOTP: So what's the worst sunburn you've ever had on holiday?
Sarah: Pretty bad.
Nadine: I don't really get that burnt. Except for here on my cheeks. Sarah: You get really brown don't you Nadine. I go red before I go brown, me. I look a little bit tomato-fied. It's not good.

TOTP: Has anything embarrassing ever happened to you on the beach? Like being saved by a lifeguard?
Sarah: No but I wish I could if they're hunky. That's a good idea (laughs).
Nadine: Yeah, pretend. Do what they do on Baywatch. Go: (takes deep breath as if to go snorkling) "Ahh... Mitch Bucannon!"
Mitch TOTP: Something tells me you're not gonna have any shortage of guys trying to save you though...
Sarah: Well you'd be surprised.

TOTP: Have you ever had any holiday romances which have turned into holiday nightmares?
Sarah: Not really. Not Nightmares.
Nadine: Not after the holiday, but while still on holiday. In Thailand again (laughs) this guy, this London guy. He just followed me around the whole time. And then started telling people that I'd really hurt his feelings and made out like I was really horrible to him when I just didn't like him. So that was a bit of a nightmare.

TOTP: Scary, so have you ever had any GOOD holiday romances?
Sarah: Yes I did once when I was in Tenerife. And three months later we managed to get back in touch and he didn't live too far from me so we ended up going out. He was rapping out there so he came home and it was all good.
