Girls Aloud: Off the Record

Episode 4 (1x4)

Air date: May 02, 2006

The Girls were in Athens for two corporate shows that are major paydays for the group. After having performed at the first show, the second show wasn't for another couple of days, so Sarah decided to fly back home to see her family, and then fly back to Athens for the second show. The other girls were bored doing nothing in their hotel, so their tour manager Drew decided to take them up to the highest vantage point in Athens - without the girls knowing where they were going. Unfortunately for Cheryl, she happened to be wearing spiked heeled shoes, which were not ideal for climbing up tall hills. Cheryl proceeded to moan her way up the hill, complaining about every small detail. Kimberley wasn't too happy either, saying that an experience like that would normally thrill her, but she didn't feel bothered about it. After they got back down the hill using a cable-car, they suddenly figured that they didn't know how to get back to their hotel, so they had to cram into a regular taxi - not exactly glamorous travel for Girls Aloud. To make up for a miserable trip, Drew took the Girls and their dancers to a Greek bar and restaurant, where they got drunk and merry, although according to Drew, not as much as usual. Returning home, Nicola drove back to her home town of Runcorn to see her family. First she went to the local park to see her little brother Harry playing football for his local team, coached by their dad. Harry's team won the game, and Nicola in rather biased fashion gave the man of the match award to Harry, signing autographs for the other members of the team. Nicola then went home and cringed as she was shown old videos of her as a little girl. After that, she took Harry and her other younger brother Clayton to a restaurant for a day out, with Nicola talking about the importance of staying close to her family despite being famous, and valuing having a family to come back to when Girls Aloud finish. The Girls then went to film the TV show Fifth Gear at Silve
