Taking part in what was a whole day of festivities, The Cheeky Girls were also joined by former Hollyoaks star Andy Newton-Lee (who played serial womaniser Robbie in the TV series) and Lisa Marie, the Exeter singer who sang on the Yeovil Town single, Yeovil True.

The weather wasn't very good but so many people turned up to see us – more than 5,000 which was great. Everyone was up for it and no-one cared about the weather - and we didn't either! What happened on the night itself? "We're really happy to come back to any event in Somerset because we had such a great response from the crowd." | |
Monica: We sang five songs, two of which were new ones. We also sang our new single, Girls and Boys, which is released on the 6 December! Are you pleased with the new single? Monica: Yes, definitely. Shooting the video was great. We shot it in three locations and really enjoyed it. What's it like working with your sister all the time? Do you get on as well as you seem to? Gabriela: Yes, it's fine. When we were in college, we were in the same class all the time and so we basically grew up together. Believe it or not, we didn't spend more than 24 hours apart. Now we're working together, we're together non-stop, but it's fine. My sister has a boyfriend, but I don't. So the only time we don't spend together is when my sister is with her boyfriend. You're from Romania – tell me a bit about your country

Gabriela: It's so different from the UK, especially the weather. In the summer it's really hot and in the winter, it's really cold. The views in Romania look like Switzerland – it's so beautiful. You have mountains, the seaside, the Black Sea – it's amazing for tourists and worthwhile to spend a few weeks there. Do you miss home? Gabriela: I miss my family mainly but they come to visit us often, so we see them a lot which helps. Will we see you in Somerset again soon? Gabriela: Yes, definitely. We're really happy to come back to any event here because we had such a great response from the crowd – it was just unbelievable. The weather was awful but the people were up for it, which was great. We really enjoyed ourselves! |
