Top of the Pops November 2012

Perrie: We're so excited to have taken over Top Of The Pops Magazine this month! I've always wanted to work on a magazine, so this has been amazing! I loved doing all the fashion styling.

Jade: Our fashion advice is always totally honest - if something looks bad then we'd say so! And we're also being honest about all our party secrets. Look out for cringes!

Leigh-anne: I've always wanted to be an agony aunt, so my best bit has been answering all your life problems.

Jesy: We really, really hope you enjoy reading this issue of TOTP Magazine. And we want to say thank you so much for supporting us - we love you all so much!

Loads of love,

Little Mix x

GOSSIP2GO - WHO'S 1D'S BIGGEST FAN?

One celeb's declaration of love at Radio 1's Teen Awards proves One DirectiOn are a cut above!

We guessed the One Direction boys would bag a record number of trophies at this year's Teen Awards but we didn't expect them to also pick up a surprising new superfan while they were at it.

Radio 1's Gemma showed exactly why she's also one of TOTP Mag's fashion experts, by shaving 1D into the back of her head! But she didn't stop there. The stylish DJ snuck into 1D's dressing room (well, we did encourage her!) to have a snoop around. "It was quite big," she 'fessed, "but it smelled funny - it smelled of boy!" That wouldn't be enough to stop us from sticking around!

GOSSIP2GO - GOSSIP FROM RADIO 1'S TEEN AWARDS

LITTLE MIX DISH THE DIRT ON ALL THE CELEBS BACKSTAGE!

T IS FOR TERRIFIC

Perrie: "It was great to catch up with Tulisa again. She's been so close to us and she's been there all the time, so we're really thankful for her. Tulisa is a friend for life, definitely."

SHH!

London fashion designer Simon Preen custom-made some of our amazing outfits!

SHH!

Jesy was heard doing funny accents in the Little Mix dressing room!

BIG BROMANCE

Jesy: "Grimmy and Harry are inseparable at the moment - they've got a little bromance going on! It's really cute that they get on so well."

BACKSTAGE BANTER

Jade: "We chat to One Direction all the time, so we'll always let them into our dressing room. They're just normal lads, so it doesn't bother me if they see us backstage looking like tramps!"

SHY GUY

Jade: "Conor is lovely and really sweet, and he was a bit shy when we met him. He probably thought we were all really loud!"

GOSSIP2GO - RITA'S NEW SQUEEZE!

There are plenty of perks to being a pop star, but is being allowed to wear a snake around your neck one of them? When Rita Ora landed in Australia, a trip to the zoo was first on her to-do list. But it wasn't a normal tourist experience - she was given VIP access to koalas, kangaroos and a massive tortoise, so being a celeb opens doors... and animal pens!

MAKING A SPLASH!

Tom Fletcher nearly flashed a lot more flesh than he bargained for on a recent trip to Rio. At least Harry was there to offer support...

GOSSIP2GO - THE WORLD OF THE WANTED

TOM REVEALS THE WANTED'S LATEST JUICY GEMS!

THIS MONTH... I'VE BEEN GETTING VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE RELEASE OF OUR NEW SINGLE

Hi everyone,

Our South East Asia tour is over and we had an amazing time. We took in Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia, Argentina, Chile and Peru, and I'm sure there are more I'm missing out! I did a bungee jump in Malaysia, which was an amazing experience.

GANGNAM STYLE

I still can't get over our party at the Avalon Hollywood where we invited singer, PSY, on stage to get down, Gangnam Style! We were like his backing dancers. You're meant to dance like you're riding a horse - I had a go, but the other lads were better than me!

I FOUND YOU

I can't believe our new single is finally out! It feels like we've been working on it for ages, but we wanted to get it just right and we're really pleased with the result. We hope you all like it.

Love Tom x

BITTER FACTOR

I do watch The X Factor occasionally, but I've still got a bitter wound there because I got rejected! It's still entertaining Saturday night TV though!

RED ALERT!

When we were performing at the Z Festival in Brazil, one of our fans threw a pair of red, frilly knickers on the stage. When Jay picked them up and put them in his pocket, I couldn't believe it! I still haven't asked him what he plans to do with them... but he has been walking differently lately, ha-ha!

LOVEBIRDS

It's a bit cheesy, but I feel so lucky to have Kelsey! I can trust Kelsey because I knew her before I even got into The Wanted. I wanted to be with her over any other girl.

MY TOP 3 ARTISTS RIGHT NOW

1 Carly Rae Jepsen

2 Pink

3 The Wanted, of course!

GOSSIP2GO - THE ROGUES REPORT

We tagged along with the LOVEABLE ROGUES to show you what a week with the twinkly-eyed charmers looks like...

MONDAY

Sonny: Té really is the ultimate multi-tasker! He can simultaneously eat, listen to music and reply to fans messages at the same time.

TUESDAY

EddiE: When we're on the way to the studio, we like to keep ourselves amused with funny stories that give us inspiration for our songs.

THURSDAY

Té: Ever wondered how we come up with our unique and authentic sound? Guess no more.

SATURDAY

Sonny: Eddie is deep in thought on the train to Brighton for a studio session. While we were there, we also recorded some footage on the pier for our mix tape. Listen out for the results soon.

SUNDAY

Té: After spending a day rushing around, Eddie settles down to sleep with his cuddly Sonic The Hedgehog!

WATER BABY

Cher Lloyd looked every inch the Hollywood pop princess while filming the video for her American single, Oath, on California's Venice Beach. But by the look on her face, maybe the sea wasn't as warm as expected? Oh, diddums!

TOM'S ALL-OVER TAN!

There's one thing you should know about Tom Daley - he likes to keep things brief. And we don't mean his sentences, we mean his trunks! As Tom and his GB teammates played beach volleyball in Oz, he seemed more worried about his tan lines than the court boundary lines. But when you're bod is that ripped, who cares if it looks like you're wearing a nappy, right?!

GOSSIP2GO - 100% ONE DIRECTION

IT'S 1D'S OFFICIAL PAGE - ONLY IN TOTP MAG EVERY MONTH

ZAYN'S BEEN POKING AROUND IN OUR POSTBAG!

EXACTLY HOW TALL IS YOUR QUIFF?

ELLA

Zayn says: I think it's about ten to 12 centimetres. I don't pay too much attention to it, because luckily I have someone else to do it for me!

DO YOU MISS BEING ABLE TO GO OUT WITHOUT BEING RECOGNISED?

SASHA

Zayn says: Some days, I do a little bit. Sometimes you just want to be a bit scruffy - you can't be bothered, you don't want to shave and you just want to go out and wear whatever. I do kind of miss that. But other than that, it's cool because I'm being recognised for something that I love doing, so I've achieved what I've wanted to.

WHAT IS THE STRANGEST THING A FAN HAS EVER DONE OR GIVEN YOU?

BETH

Zayn says: Once we were in Liverpool doing a radio tour and when we pulled up in the car park underneath the radio station, we noticed that someone had stuck a sanitary towel with her name on it on the side of the car! It certainly got our attention, but we probably don't want anyone doing that again.

IF THERE WAS ONE THING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU COULD CHANGE, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

ABIGAIL

Zayn says: I'd like to be a bit taller. I'd never wear platform boots - I think they're embarrassing, but I'd like to actually be about 1.8m tall.

YOUR SHOUT-OUTS

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - JLS - "THE X FACTOR WON'T LAST FOREVER!"

GET READY FOR A SERIOUS GOSSIP AS JLS TALK TULISA, 1D AND REALITY TV

WHOO-HOO, LOOK AT YOU! WHAT'S WITH THE NEW IMAGE ?

ORITSÉ: It's our sexy swag image! I was sexy cool before, but now I've transformed into sexy swag!

MARVIN: We started out as an R&B act, then we entered The X Factor and we had to be quite commercial. We loved that stuff, but I think any artist who has a long career goes through elements of change and this is the first change for us.

AND YOU'VE GOT A MANLY BEARD , MARV!

MARVIN: Do you know what? I've never really been a fan of facial hair, so that's why I've never had one before. I've had the same hairstyle for three years and never changed it. Then I just thought, "Let me try something different!"

ASTON'S DOING A REALITY TV SHOW, BUT WOULD YOU EVER DO BIG BROTHER OR I'M A CELEBRITY ?

JB: I'd do my own thing like the Kardashians, but obviously I wouldn't call it The Kardashians, because I'm not a Kardashian! It'd be more a documentary.

MARVIN: I'd love to do Big Brother - to be locked in a house, just to see how I cope.

ASTON: I like the one I'm doing because it's more about trying to help other people than, I suppose, helping yourself.

ORITSÉ: I wouldn't say no to The X Factor! I think judging talent would be amazing, but I'm A Celebrity doesn't appeal.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF NICOLE AS A JUDGE ON THE X FACTOR?

ORITSÉ: Nicole is beautiful! The X Factor is an incredible show and it launches great talent, but I think people always want something new and exciting, and like any show, The X Factor's not going to last forever. But it's still enjoyable to watch.

WOULD YOU EVER WRITE A TELL-ALL BOOK LIKE TULISA HAS?

MARVIN: I haven't read it, but she's always been very open. Tulisa's gone through a lot more than I have. I don't think people would be that interested in my book.

ASTON: No - few people are actually that interested in me to read that!

WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO END UP LIKE SIMON COWELL, WITH A MULTI-MILLION-POUND EMPIRE ?

JB: I'm going to say Marvin will end up being the richest because, between him and Rochelle, they've got a lot more buying power!

ASTON: Not JB, cos he'll be spending all his money on his farm! Marvin will spend all his money on Rochelle, so don't ever count the youngest one out, alright?

ORITSÉ: I'd like an empire like his! I don't take time off, I work hard, I enjoy myself. I'm super busy, but the end game is for me to help the Oritsé Empire!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ONE DIRECTION 'S LATEST SINGLE?

MARVIN: I watched the video and I think that song is perfect for them. I played golf with Niall last week. I go and pick him up from his house because we live close to each other.

ORITSÉ: I think it's great! I spoke to Liam two days ago, and he's really excited. I was chilling out round his house the other day, playing computer games and eating fish and chips!

SOUNDS COSY! MARVIN, HOW ARE YOU FINDING MARRIED LIFE ?

MARVIN: Married life is just amazing! Obviously, it's been a little bit weird because Rochelle's been away a lot. We got married, had a week off and then she had to go to America for five weeks! But I Skype her every day - sometimes three or four times actually!

SO ARE YOU ALL LOVED-UP NOW THEN?

ASTON: Well, I'd been single for about four years so it was definitely time! I've known Sarah for over a year or so. You start out as friends and it just builds.

ORITSÉ: I'm still single, so if anybody is looking for a kind, loving, guy who sings, then I'm available!

YOU'RE ALL DJS NOW - HOW MUCH WOULD YOU CHARGE TO DO OUR BIRTHDAY PARTY?

MARVIN: I'm not going to tell you, ha-ha!

ORITSÉ: You can't put a price on it! Marvin plays - I just hype the crowd, dancing around and shouting down the mic!

SO, IS IT UNDER 100000 pounds?

MARVIN: [ Stern voice.] I'm not telling you. But would I ever DJ at your party? Yeah! We owe a lot to Top Of The Pops Magazine!

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - LITTLE MIX - HOW WE DO PARTY

DODGY FAKE LASHES, THREATENING NEIGHBOURS AND SMOOCHING A CERTAIN MR MALIK... LITTLE MIX SPILL ALL THEIR SHOCKING PARTY SECRETS!

LET'S DISH THE DIRT ON YOUR PARTY SECRETS! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO GET READY TO GO OUT?

JESY: About two hours. I spend the most time doing my make-up and trying to get my eyelashes on straight. They can go all wonky so I have to start over again.

JADE: It takes me all evening! I listen to music to get into the swing of things, and I usually change my outfit ten times. If you turned up and someone was wearing the same outfit, how would you react?

JESY: I'd hate it, but I wouldn't go home and change.

PERRIE: I'd go home and change!

JADE: Really? See, it wouldn't really bother me. I'd just say, "Snap!" and carry on!

LEIGH-ANNE: I'd get some scissors, run to the toilets and try to customise mine.

DO YOU PREFER TO HOST A PARTY OR BE A GUEST?

PERRIE: Definitely be a guest. When you throw a party you're always worried about whether people are having a good time, whereas if you're a guest you just let your hair down and enjoy it.

LEIGH-ANNE: I love throwing parties. I've had a party every year since I was 15.

EVER BEEN TO ONE THAT GOT OUT OF HAND?

JADE: When I was younger I ended up at a few parties where, by the end, the neighbours were knocking saying they were about to ring the police. But I've never had a party at my house that got like that - my mum would never let me! Leigh-anne: There's been an accident at every single one I've had! On my 16th birthday, my parents went crazy - they chucked everyone out. And my 17th got a bit out of hand as well... Oops!

DID YOUR PARENTS EVER STAY IF YOU HAD A PARTY?

LEIGH-ANNE: I had a New Year's Eve party once and my parents got back and started waltzing in the middle of the floor. It was the most embarrassing thing ever.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET A GUY TO NOTICE YOU AT A PARTY?

PERRIE: Dance in the middle of the room with your mates, and keep making eye contact. Smile at him and give him the look, then wait for him to come to you!

LEIGH-ANNE: Yeah, eye contact is very important. Not too much of it though - you don't want to look desperate.

IF YOU SPOTTED YOUR MATE'S BOYFRIEND GETTING COSY WITH ANOTHER GIRL, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

JESY: I'd tell her straight away. I wouldn't say anything to the boy - I'd leave it just to see how far it went.

LEIGH-ANNE: Slap him, ha-ha! Just joking! No, I wouldn't really, but I'd definitely say something. And I'd take pictures and show my friend the next day.

WHICH CELEB WOULD YOU LIKE TO SLOW-SMOOCH WITH ON THE DANCEFLOOR?

JESY: Plan B! I'm in love with him!

JADE: Usher, he's smooth.

PERRIE: My boyfriend Zayn from 1D [ giggles]. I couldn't say anyone else!

LEIGH-ANNE: Justin Bieber. He's hot!

EVER MADE A FOOL OF YOURSELF AT A PARTY?

JESY: I was at a party where my eyelash was coming off and nobody told me!

JADE: When I was younger I had a complex about my small boobs, so I wore 'chicken fillets [ bra padding]. But I was dancing at a party once and one fell out! I tried to kick it away, but all my friends saw and they were crying with laughter!

FINALLY, WHO'S THE FIRST TO LEAVE AND WHO DO YOU HAVE TO DRAG AWAY?

JESY: Leigh-Anne always wants to stay to the end. Perrie likes to go home, 'cos she likes to snuggle up with Zayn!

LEIGH-ANNE: Me and Jade are more the party animals, so we're definitely out until the lights come on. Perrie likes a night in in her PJs!

...MUSIC TO YOUR EARS

RATED BY FRIDAY DOWNLOAD'S AIDAN DAVIS

ALBUM: ONE DIRECTION - TAKE ME HOME

The way 1D have conquered the music world in such a short space of time is phenomenal. I'd say they deserve an award but they have a billion! The album is fun-loving and bouncy and, let's be honest, whatever they do will be amazing!

ALBUM: TULISA - THE FEMALE BOSS

I'm a big fan of Tulisa and will be buying this album. Although she's brought out dance tracks so far, there are some big ballads here, too, which are amazing and go with the other tracks really well. I'd still love to see an N-Dubz return though!

STOOSHE - WATERFALLS/SEE ME LIKE THIS

I never thought anyone could match TLC's Waterfalls, but this is definitely up there, while See Me Like This is more upbeat. I'm a big fan and even had the chance to teach them a move or three on Friday Download. I hope it does well!

VINCE KIDD FEATURING LADY LESHURR - SICK LOVE

Words can't describe how much of a Vince fan I am! It's a big song that makes you wanna dance, but with Vince's vocals it still has the ability to make you chill. Also, it's got my girl, Leshurr, jumping in to spice things up. Love this!

CELEB SECRETS - MCFLYING HIGH AGAIN!

THE BOYS ARE BACK! AFTER NINE AMAZING YEARS TOGETHER, WE ASK MCFLY TO TAKE US ON AN EMOTIONAL TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE...

YOU'RE BACK AGAIN, GUYS! WILL YOU STILL BE PERFORMING WHEN YOU'VE ALL GOT WALKING STICKS?

TOM: Probably. I can't really do anything else! I think we could do a tour every couple of years and make some money.

HARRY: I think the limit will be around 65.

TOM: I bet we'll all still be jumping around on stage then. I reckon we're the kind of people who will get to our 50s and will want to start getting really fit and healthy.

HARRY: Defy the odds.

REST: Ha-ha! That's like you now!

HAVE ANY OF YOU HAD TO PICK OUT ANY GREY HAIRS YET?

HARRY: Me and Danny! [ Starts poking around in Danny's hair.] Look at his! He's got loads!

IF YOU COULD RELIVE ONE PARTICULARLY AMAZING MCFLY MOMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

DANNY: Winning the BRIT Award for Best Pop Act in 2005 was pretty special.

TOM: We celebrated by going to the after party and trying to dance with Girls Aloud, but failed miserably. They didn't even know my name!

DANNY: After that, we went up to the studio in the band house and listened to our new songs. We were like, "They're so cool - they will definitely win us another BRIT..."

TOM: But we didn't win one ever again, ha-ha!

WHAT'S THE BIGGEST LOW YOU'VE HAD TO OVERCOME AS A BAND?

TOM: Probably constantly putting up with Danny every day for nine years.

HARRY: Tom's chin gets in the way.

TOM: My chin, Dougie's breath.

DOUGIE: That's why I'm sitting so far away right now!

DANNY: And Harry's bottom.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

DOUGIE: If you're too close, you try to touch it! It's too good!

WHAT'S CHANGED THE MOST FOR YOU OVER THE YEARS?

HARRY: We're all a lot more settled in our lives now. I'm engaged, Tom's married...

DID YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT TOM WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO TIE THE KNOT? AND WHO'LL BE NEXT?

ALL: Yeah, we all knew. He's been married for nine years!

TOM: Harry's going to be second, Dougie third and then Danny.

WHAT'S YOUR CRAZIEST MCFLY MEMORY?

HARRY: [ Points to Danny] He's your man.

DANNY: I once smashed a table, kicked a chair, somehow a load of spaghetti ended up on the ceiling and I got into trouble with hotel security. I did go down and apologise to them the next morning, though!

TOM: The next morning, I was woken up by our tour manager saying, "Tom, I think you need to come and see this."

SO WHAT'S THE SECRET TO YOUR LONG CAREER?

HARRY: I think it's because we're genuine friends. We take it seriously, but we have fun, too. And we're too scared to do anything else!

TOM: So many people go off the rails, but when we do, we go off the rails together.

DOUGIE: And then together we get each other back onto the rails.

SINGLE: Love Is Easy is out in November

ALBUM: Their greatest hits album is also out in November

BOOK: Their autobiography Unsaid Things...Our Story is out now

RADIO: Listen out for McFly on The Official Chart, Sundays, 4-7pm, Radio 1

HOW EMBARRASSING!

MCFLY FACE UP TO SOME OF THEIR MOST CRINGESOME TOTP MAG PHOTOSHOOTS (PHOTO SECTION)

DINER DAY

Tom: This was our first ever photoshoot day!

Harry: I really like this one. We all look genuinely pleased to be there, ha-ha!

SNOW JOKE

Dougie: Don't be fooled! This shoot was actually done in the summer. I'd just had my tattoos done on my legs and I was sweating!

Tom: And I look a bit fat.

FEELING ROPEY

Tom: I'm not liking this photoshoot!

Dougie: This photoshoot was on the same day as the sleigh shoot. It was boiling and climbing those ropes made us even hotter!

A BIT DODGE-Y

Harry: That's when I banged my nose!

Dougie: A couple of days before that Harry walked into a window. Is that a go-kart?

Harry: No, it's a dodgem. We got so bored of photoshoots...

LIGHTEN UP

Harry: [ Pointing at Danny's hair.] What is that haircut? Danny definitely had the worst hair back then.

Danny: It was cool back then.

Harry: You look like a dog - it covers your ears!

CELEB CRINGE!

FALL FAILURE

I was at Nickelodeon filming and the actor Josh Duhamel from Transformers was there for another show. He's so cute! I really wanted a picture with him so I gave my mum the camera and walked towards him, but I tripped right over a cable and fell in front of him. We were both laughing but I was so embarrassed!

I was in my boyfriend's bedroom and when he left it to go to the toilet, I was being nosey and had a look through his stuff - who wouldn't?! But when I opened one of his drawers it collapsed. My boyfriend and his mum ran in and I was caught red-handed!

KATIE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

HIGH KICK CRINGE

One day I was at school showing off my high kicks in front of my mates when I suddenly went too high and fell right back onto my bottom. Everyone was laughing and it really hurt too!

NIAMH, BIRMINGHAM

FAKE TAN FUN

My bestie brought some fake tan, but she's a totally different skin tone to me - and had got the fake tans muddled up! That night we put some on and when we met up the next day we looked really orange and patchy. Cringe!

CHELSEA, BRISTOL

TIGHT SPOT

Waiting at the bus stop I suddenly realised I'd put my tights on inside out. I looked around and nobody was about, so I quickly put them right. When the bus arrived I got on and saw people pointing and laughing at me - I had tucked my skirt into my tights by accident. Mega cringe!

JESS, DORSET

SPLASH SHAME

On holiday in the Isle of Wight I stood in front of a watermill, posing for a picture. I thought I heard someone shout help so I quickly turned around to see what was going on, but I tripped on my shoelace and fell head first into the water! Everybody was staring at me - I was so embarrassed!

CELEBS EXPOSED - 8 ALL-NEW BREAKING DAWN SECRETS!

THE FINAL FILM OF THE TWILIGHT SERIES HITS CINEMAS THIS MONTH, SO WE FERRETED OUT SOME INCREDIBLE FACTS TO CELEBRATE!

1 All the films have been shot in their own 'tint.

Twilight: Blue;

New Moon: Gold;

Eclipse: Grey;

Breaking Dawn Part 1: Red;

and Breaking Dawn Part 2: Yellow.

2 Breaking Dawn was the most expensive Twilight film, with a budget of 75 million dollars - that's 46 Million pounds.

3 Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone grew so close on set, Jackson recently named Nikki as godmother to his and girlfriend Sheila Hafsadi's baby boy, Monroe.

4 Both robotic and real babies were used for the character of Reneesmee, but Kristen preferred to work with real babies, saying it improved her performance and acting.

5 New cast member Mackenzie Foy stopped the cast from swearing! Mackenzie, who plays Reneesmee, had a 'swear jar and would fine other members of the cast when they swore in front of her!

6 R-Patz (Edward) had to wear an orange wig for film re-shoots, which he described as "like Frankenstein's monster". Nice.

7 Peter Facinelli, who plays Carlisle Cullen, tried to pinch a souvenir from the set, but got told off. "Someone called the next day asking if I had Carlisle's ring and that they needed it back, so I had to return it," he reveals.

8 Taylor Lautner (Jacob) cried after watching the uncut version of the final instalment. Cute!

FILM: Breaking Dawn: Part 2 is in cinemas from 16 november

LYDIA: FASHION EDITOR

CHARLIE: AGE 16

MOHAMMAD: AGE 17

CAROLINE FLACK AND VICTORIA JUSTICE BATTLE IT OUT IN ROCK TEES

CAROLINE

LYDIA: I love how Caroline has proved that rock tees don't only have to be worn with jeans. The way she's paired it with a cute striped mini skirt and bright white blazer is fashion genius. The boots and lippy tie the whole look together. Bravo, C-Flack!

CHARLIE: I'm a real fan of Caroline's style here. I love the mixture of casual and chic. I kind of think she's wearing a bit too much make-up though, you can't put too much on both the eyes and lips!

MOHAMMAD: I like both the blazer and the T-shirt - they look really cool. I do think the skirt is a bit short, but on the whole she is looking good.

VICTORIA

LYDIA: Miss Justice totally rocks this David Bowie tee, going for a red, white and black combo. The fitted blazer is really flattering and the jeans mean she really stands out. Maybe a black court shoe would have added the finishing touch instead of the harsh black boots though.

CHARLIE: I don't really like faces on T-shirts, even if it is David Bowie! This look is a little too rock 'n roll for me and seems very focused on red and black - it's almost a bit too colour coordinated.

MOHAMMAD: This look is way too flashy! I think her eyebrows look a little dark here and, I agree with Charlie, there's way too much red and black.

AND THE WINNER IS...CAROLINE

WE'RE TOTALLY CRUSHING ON THE COOL STYLE OF KRISTEN STEWART!

Going for a casual and dressed-down vibe, K-Stew rocks a yellow bodycon skirt and cropped white tee. It's a look anyone can copy. Hi-top trainers will always be on trend so it's a good idea to invest in a pair.

Go for classic black like Kristen or try something brighter - there are loads in the shops right now.

ALL ABOUT YOU - YOUR PROBLEMS SOLVED!

WHAT'S NORMAL

Dear Aled & Little Mix,

I'm 14 but only wear a size A bra. All my mates have bigger boobs than me and I haven't even started my periods. Am I normal?

WORRIED WANTED FAN, EMAIL

Aled says: Try not to worry as no two girls are the same and everybody develops at different times. If you're worried about anything to do with your body, you can always speak to your school nurse or a doctor.

Jade says: I'm only a size A as well and I'm 19 so join the queue! It doesn't matter what size you are. There's a lot of pressure on girls, but just embrace who you are. You've got plenty of time as you don't stop growing until you're about 21.

YOU CAN START YOUR PERIOD AT ANY AGE BETWEEN 8 & 20

DISTANT DAD

Dear Aled & Little Mix,

I've never met my real dad but now he wants to see me. The thing is, my dad lives in America and I'm scared of flying, as well as missing my mum and friends when I'm over there. What should I do?

SIAN, EMAIL

Aled says: Ask your mum what she thinks and tell her you don't want to go on your own. Maybe somebody could go with you or your dad could visit you instead.

Perrie says: Talk to your mum first and see what she thinks. Mums nearly always know best. You could Skype your dad and get to know him a bit more first before deciding whether you'd feel happy visiting him. You could have a great time, and once you get to know him, you won't worry so much about missing other people.

DOWN IN THE DUMPS

Dear Aled & Little Mix,

I've been with my boyfriend for a month and it's not what I expected. The conversations are boring, I'm always busy with school and clubs, and I don't feel ready for a relationship. Should I call it off?

JADE, EMAIL

Aled says: It sounds like you have a lot on your plate, but well done for putting school work before boys. If you're not enjoying the relationship, you should finish it, but try not to hurt his feelings. Be honest and explain that you're just too busy and that you think you'd be better off as friends.

Jesy says: If you're not enjoying it, you're too busy and you're not ready, then you should end it. Your boyfriend could really like you and it's not fair to lead him on. Enjoy being single and don't feel pressured at all.

MY TRUE STORY - "I HAD BAD SPOTS"

LEIGH-ANNE EXPLAINS HOW HER SPOTS GOT HER DOWN

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED DEVELOPING BAD SPOTS?

I was about 13 or 14.

HOW DID IT AFFECT YOU?

It never stopped me from going out, but I had to cover my spots with make-up, which just makes them worse and then you feel even worse.

SO YOU GOT REALLY DOWN?

Yeah, you feel terrible because they're right there on your face and everyone can see them. But spots are treatable and there are things you can do to make them better.

HAVE YOUR SPOTS GONE NOW?

Well, we wear such thick make-up on stage that when we sweat under the lights, it makes our skin really bad, so I still have them. I have to try to eat healthily and get enough sleep, otherwise they can get out of control.

DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE MEDICATION TOO?

Things were was so bad I ended up having to go to the doctor and now I'm on antibiotics, which have really helped.

A lot of teenagers suffer from acne – it’s nothing to worry about. Using spot treatments and washing your face twice a day is a simple way to avoid it. For more advice on acne and what you can do to get rid of it, go to this BBC advice site: www.tinyurl.com/230surgery-acne.

FRIEND OR BOYFRIEND?

Dear Aled & Little Mix,

My BFF's brother is cute and I really like him, but she gets annoyed when he flirts with me. I'm worried that if I go out with him, it might ruin our friendship. Do I risk it?

RUBY, ESSEX

Aled says: Have you spoken to your friend about this? She might be a bit jealous, or she might think you're not serious. If she realises you're both properly into each other, then she might be happy to have two people she loves going out together.

Leigh-Anne says: I'd choose friendship over boys, any day! I don't think it'd be worth it because it might not even work out and you don't want to risk losing your friend. Think about also talking to her brother and explaining that the flirting needs to stop.

REAL LIFE - "BULLIES KICKED ME AND CALLED ME A LEPER"

AFTER SUFFERING YEARS OF ABUSE BECAUSE OF HER ECZEMA, EMILY FINALLY FOUND HELP AT A CHARITY SUPPORTED BY BBC CHILDREN

IN NEED

EMILY'S STORY...

She started being picked on for her eczema, which causes skin to become dry and cracked.

Bullies attacked her, but the teachers didn't really help.

After discovering Kidscape, she's facing the future with confidence.

I was sobbing so hard, I couldn't even tell them to stop. I thought the group of boys in the playground wanted to be friends with me, but instead they took me to a quiet area, pushed me to the freezing cold ground and kicked me.

"Yuck! You look like a leper! You need to leave school before we all catch what you've got!" they yelled. I was only six years old, and I was terrified.

HURTFUL NAMES

A lot of my time at school was like that. In fact, I went through seven years of hell and all because of my eczema - a condition that caused my skin to become red, itchy and dry. Although there were times when it cleared up, it was hard to miss when it appeared on my face, around my lips and on my chin. A lot of students in my school in Stroud, Gloucestershire, teased me for it, but it was mainly the popular boys who would call me hurtful names and exclude me from everything.

I'd cry when my parents tried to make me go into school, but I wouldn't tell them what was happening because I didn't want them to worry. I did confide in Dorothy though, the only girl at my school who stuck up for me and understood - and my only friend. She knew what was going on so it was really easy to talk to her.

A few years after the bullying began, she told her mum what I was going through, and her mum told my parents. Even though I never wanted them to worry about it, I was relieved when they found out. Mum was desperate for me to move schools, but nowhere had a place.

The teachers thought they were helping out by telling everyone that my eczema wasn't contagious, but that didn't stop the cruel taunts. "Don't go near her, cos she's got rabies and she'll give you her disease!" they'd say. Gradually, I started to believe what they were saying, which left me feeling small, dirty and diseased. Once, the teacher made me sit down with a bully for peer mentoring, but I was so scared of them, I hated every second.

GAINING CONFIDENCE

Joining secondary school wasn't much better. I was still picked on, but luckily my big brother was at the same school and he stood up for me. There were still some snide comments, but I gradually made more and more good friends through going to after school clubs and moving up in school sets.

I also went to Kidscape, a project supported by money from BBC Children In Need that helps kids and teens tackle bullying. I have mum to thank for suggesting that I go there, and it really helped me to open up about my problems and talk to people. Certain teachers became a lot more helpful, too, if I ever had a problem or if someone was picking on me because of my skin. And of course Dorothy helped - she was always there for me, whenever I needed her. I could call her at midnight and she'd always answer the phone.

I still suffer from eczema now, but it's nowhere near as bad. One of the things I learned from the bullying was that, instead of looking at all the negatives, you need to look at all the positives - what you're good at and all the great things about you. You shouldn't blame yourself if you're being bullied because it's not your fault. Anyone who finds themselves being bullied should speak to someone: a parent, an older brother or sister, or even their cat! It's important not to bottle things up inside, as that can really affect you.

It's hard to be happy when people are constantly bringing you down, but things will usually work out in the end. I have a great group of friends now - I'm happy, confident and I have a strong sense of right and wrong. I wouldn't change my childhood, because it's made me the person I am today.

HELP & ADVICE...

IF YOU’RE BEING BULLIED IT’S IMPORTANT THAT YOU TELL AN ADULT WHO YOU CAN TRUST.

If you’re worried about any issues in this story, talk to a counsellor at ChildLine on 0800 1111 or get advice at www.childline.org.uk.

Emily’s visits to Kidscape are made possible thanks to donations to BBC Children In Need. To find out how you can get involved, visit www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey.

WE ASKED THREE LADS:

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR IDEAL DATE?

"A metal concert first, then on to Gourmet Burger Kitchen for a bite to eat, before finishing the evening playing video games at home."

JAMES, 17

"A game of tennis followed by a moonlit dinner."

DOMINIC, 15

"Having a picnic by a lake, in the evening when the sun's starting to dip in the sky."

ARTHUR, 15

UP-TO-DATE DAD

Dear Dick & Dom,

I walked into the living room the other day to see my dad sat reading my TOTP Magazine! I was very proud until he told me that One Direction ruined it. Oh well!

NICOLA, EMAIL

Dom says: I once caught my mum singing along to JLS on Radio 1! I have no idea how she even got into the building, but I've never quite forgiven Fearne Cotton.

PEN PRANK

Dear Dick & Dom,

When my friend and I drew on our legs as a joke, my mum went mad at us, until she realised we had drawn on our tights instead. It was so funny!

LIDIA, EMAIL

Dick says: Oh, the fun you can have playing jokes on your parents. Like the time I told my mum and dad I'd passed all my exams and they bought me a new bike to celebrate.

TULISA'S TOPS

Dear Dick & Dom,

I love Tulisa's look, so lots of thanks for Steal Her Style in issue 227. I got some great tips and I think she looks much better as a brunette - just like me!

JOLENE, EMAIL

Dom says: I took inspiration from that feature too, Jolene. In fact, I went so overboard on 50s glamour that I can't leave the house without my hair back-combed into a beehive and two shillings for the bus!

CELEB SECRETS - STOOSHE'S SLEEPOVER

SNUGGLE UP AS TOTP MAG GOES UNDER-COVERS TO REVEAL WHAT SLEEP-TALKING STOOSHE GET UP TO WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF...

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU ALL SQUEEZED INTO A BED FOR A SLEEPOVER?

ALEXANDRA: After the MOBO Awards last year there were three of us in one small bed - Courtney dived into the middle.

COURTNEY: It was not cool. I was so squashed. Karis is a joke when it comes to sleeping. She's not content unless one part of her body is touching your body.

KARIS: I just want a cuddle!

YOU COULD GO TOP AND TAIL TO GET MORE BREATHING SPACE?

KARIS: I don't want someone's feet in my face - no, it's not happening!

COURTNEY: But your feet in my face might be better than your feet trying to wrap around my legs!

ANY MORE BAD BEDTIME HABITS YOU WANT TO CONFESS?

KARIS: I am the worst at fidgeting. I steal the covers when I turn over and everything.

ALEXANDRA: If I'm falling asleep and you're still talking to me, then I will talk about anything. You can get any secrets out of me in that mid-sleep. Or I just come up with nonsense!

COURTNEY: I sleep talk and sometimes I catch myself snoring a tiny, tiny...

ALEXANDRA: You snore!

COURTNEY: No I don't!

ARE YOU DRIBBLERS?

COURTNEY: Karis is! We all dribble in our sleep though. The worst one is when you are on a plane and have those nylon pillows - dribble doesn't sink in, it just sits there. Disgusting.

ALEXANDRA: I hate waking up dribbling!

KARIS: Oh my goodness, we are such an attractive girl band! You lot are hilarious! Do you keep each other awake all night with all your mad ramblings?

ALEXANDRA: Courtney does. When you want to go to sleep she is just talking, talking, talking. At one in the morning, you're like, "Just stop!" I won't even be giving answers and she'll still be talking!

COURTNEY: I will still keep talking until you lot fall asleep. Got to keep them entertained at all times!

WHO DO YOU NORMALLY SNUGGLE UP IN BED WITH?

COURTNEY: Our partners.

KARIS: You know you have blankies? Well, in my family we called them gosies. I had mine until I was about 11. I don't have it any more.

ALEXANDRA: They were called noo-noos in our house. Mine was like a dirty white blanket because I didn't like letting my mum wash it!

SLEEPOVERS USUALLY MEAN A GOOD GOSSIPING SESH, RIGHT?

KARIS: It's true. When I was younger, my mates and I would have sleepovers and we'd talk about our first kiss and stuff like that. I'd be really honest, but then they'd end up telling everyone my secrets!

DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR DREAMS HAVE HIDDEN MEANINGS?

KARIS: I hope not - I dreamed that I killed some people! It might mean I was angry during the day...

COURTNEY: They say that if you dream about someone dying, they are actually going to live longer.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT DREAMS CAN COME TRUE?

ALEXANDRA: I hope so! One day I want a big white fairytale wedding. Courtney: I have dreams all the time that I think come true. Dreams can come true - if you attract the positive energy then things will happen.

KARIS: I used to dream about being in a girl band, so that's a dream come true!
