She's six months pregnant with her first child, but The Saturdays singer Una Healy isn't ready to change into billowing maternitywear any time soon.

The Irish pop star, 30, still looked as sexy as her bandmates as she performed in a gold mini dress at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London tonight.

Joining Rochelle Wiseman, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford and Vanessa White on the red carpet, she proudly showed off her growing bump in her shimmering number.

A Jingle Bell smock? The Saturdays singer Una Healy shows off her growing bump in a gold mini-dress at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball at London's O2 Arena

All fired up: Una joined her bandmates (L-R) Mollie King, Rochelle Wiseman, Frankie Sandford and Vanessa White on stage

She complemented her bandmates, who were all dressed in gold and white creations to get into the Christmas spirit.

Blonde King, 24, showed off her tanned legs in a bottom-skimming white mini-skirt and gold sequinned top, while Sandford, 22, flaunted her toned figure in a white cut-out dress.

The fivesome performed hits from past and present albums, including Higher, Notorious, Ego, My Heart Takes Over, Forever Is Over and All Fired Up.

Busy: The girl group travelled down from Liverpool on Sunday specially for their performance at the Jingle Bell Ball

Charlie's Angels: The group put on quite a few poses as they worked the stage

Ahead of the Jingle Bell Ball, the group travelled 230 miles after performing at the Echo Arena in Liverpool last night as part of their All Fired Up tour.

Despite being pregnant, Healy hasn't let her expectant state slow her down during rehearsals over the past few weeks.

Mollie said last week: 'Una is such a trouper, she hasn’t missed one rehearsal. We can’t hold her down. There’s no sit-down or wheelchair for her. We’re all up there busting a move.'

Back in the fold: Sandford is enjoying being back in the group after taking time off for health reasons

Glam: The group looked suitably festive in their white and gold outfits

And Una admitted she's been loving the attention on her bump and doesn't even mind when people touch it.

She said: 'It's quite a loving thing. You feel it's because they know it's quite a special thing going on in there. I know some people get freaked out by it, but I like it.'

While The Saturdays looked festive in their gold and white, their contemporary Jessie J wasn't quite into the Christmas spirit yet when it came to her wardrobe.

That's not very festive: Jessie J wore shorts and a floor-length cardigan to the ball

The singer, 23, wore a pair of black shorts, T-shirt and floor-length black cardigan as she arrived on the red carpet.

The annual Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball was hosted by Lisa Snowdon, who presents the station's breakfast show.

She recently lost her partner-in-crime Johnny Vaughan, who is being replaced by Dave Berry.

Also performing at the gig were X Factor boy bands JLS and One Direction.

Their sets came as they hit the No.1 spot in the UK singles chart with this year's X Factor finalists with Wishing On A Star.

The boys are back in town; JLS - who are the new No.1 with the X Factor finalists - were greeted by screaming fans

Tween idols: One Direction (L-R) Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan wowed the crowd

They seem All Fired Up for their impending tour and judging from rehearsals they will be raising temperatures too.

The Saturdays got one final practice in before packing their bags for the groups first ever arena tour.

Taking inspiration from Father Christmas and his big red suit, the girls have a segment of the show where they dress up in some very sultry outfits.

Merry Christmas: The Saturdays rehearse for their arena tour in some festive costumes

Appearing on stage in red sequined jackets they give a whole new meaning to the phrase 'naughty and nice.'

The girls have been performing dress rehearsals for their first ever arena tour and have been feeling nervous about the experience.

Rochelle Wiseman said: 'The thought that we are about to take on arenas sends a shiver down my spine.

All wrapped up: Mollie King and Frankie Sandford add some sugar and spice to the concert

'It's everything we've ever dreamed of as a band,' she added.

The Saturdays, who have had nine Top 10 singles, have been practising singing new songs on their tour from their as yet unnamed fourth studio album.

Fans can expect a lot of bright colours and brightly coloured costumes as the group whip off their Christmas clothes and change into skimpy outfits.

Together again: Una Healy sings solo while Mollie and Frankie get closer to each other

Under the spotlight: Rochelle Wiseman and Frankie go through the motions

All that glitters: Short silver dresses were worked into the routine with Una's being a looser fitting than the rest

Mollie King can be seen dancing around wearing a pair of very short blue denim pants with a torn white vest and fishnet stockings.

The blonde singer then changes again into a sparkly silver and black mini dress.

In one routine Frankie Sandford, who has recently returned to the band after suffering from illness, flashes her red bra through a pink halter neck top which she teemed with a pair of black high-waisted shorts.

Ready to work: The Saturdays arrive on stage in a large elevator

We salute you: The girl group strike a pose in their sultry office worker costumes

The ladies also dress up as sexy secretaries and make a grand entrance via a large silver lift.

Kitted out in glasses, high heels, pencil skirts and bright bras they arrive on stage and strike a pose before starting to sing.

Una Healy tweeted about her excitement today and said: 'First night of our #AllFiredUpTour tonight in Bournemouth!! Sooo excited! The butterflies have set in! Get Ready, Get Set! Who's coming?Xxx.'

Less is clearly more: Mollie and Frankie show off some revealing outfits in the run-through

Corset girls: The ladies have brought plenty of variation and colour for their first ever arena tour

Rochelle, meanwhile, was feeling exhausted from all the preparation and said on Twitter: 'Just got back to my hotel room after a long day rehearsing on our arena stage eekkk! Its all coming together nicely! I am soooo excited :) x.'

Their 13 date tour will take the girls to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales as well as England and pregnant Una will be taking a special something with her for the ride.

She said: 'Having my pillow from home with me on tour is the closest thing to bringing my own bed on tour!'

Hot stuff: A pregnant Una and a slim looking Mollie dance on stage in matching fishnet tights

She's been waylaid with a mystery illness since September and Frankie Sanford still isn't well enough to appear with the Saturdays full-time.

Yesterday the 22-year-old remained absent from the group's public engagements including appearances on Daybreak and Channel 4's Album Chart Show.

However, she is getting involved with rehearsals for their upcoming tour, which kicks off in just two week's time.

Still struggling: Frankie Sandford is only permitted to attend tour rehearsals with The Saturdays but she's been advised to rest up and avoid overdoing it

Here I am: The singer has been out of action since picking up a mystery illness two months ago

In a statement, the band's press representative told the MailOnline: 'Frankie is still ill and she's taking her time to recover. under doctor's orders she is only permitted to attend tour rehearsals.

'She's easing herself back in to things with the group but will be appearing on the tour which starts at the end of this month.'

Yesterday the rest of the group, Rochelle Wiseman, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White kept up their pre-tour publicity trail with appearances on both Channel 4 and ITV.

On great form: Mollie King and pregnant Una Healy both looked great as they made their way out of rehearsals

Shady lady: Rochelle exits rehearsals with her eyes covered by a large pair of sunglasses

On Sunday Frankie had been up late, using her Twitter page to have a live 'webchat' with her followers, it's presumed she spent the early part of Monday resting up as she was absent from the group's television appearances.

Later that day however they were joined by Frankie at rehearsals in London.

The girls were all immaculately turned out as they left the studios where they have been practicing routines.

Still missing: Frankie Sandford (L) had two months off due to a mystery illness but was absent again today when the group performed on Daybreak

Frankie wore a colour-coordinated outfit featuring a pair of red jeans, with black trainers and a black jacket.

Underneath she wore a blue/grey hooded top and she carried a large black bag, covering her neck with a red and black scarf.

Rochelle, 22, wore a pair of PVC trousers, with a sheer burgundy top which exposed her white bra underneath.

What illness: Frankie Sandford looked happy as she went shopping with Wayne Bridge at Harrods last month

She matched the items with a grey coat and a burgundy to match her top.

Mollie King, 24, looked rather quaint in her green shorts, blue coat and matching hat.

She accessorised with a pair of fur-lined boots, a red box bag and a checked scarf.

Pregnant Una Healy looked more like a businesswoman than a pop star in her understated outfit.

The 30-year-old went for a chic blazer jacket, a white top with black hearts printed all over it and a black pencil skirt.

The girls debuted their new dancers and some new songs on the Album Chart Show, Una excitedly tweeted about their new routines.

She wrote: 'Album Chart show with our dancers performing songs from our new album really gets me excited for our upcoming tour! See you guys there!!'

The Saturdays have a new album due on November 21, entitled On Your Radar and their tour supporting the album begins in Bournemouth on December 2, finishing up at Wembley Arena in London on December 16.

Una Healy continues to maintain her fantastic figure as she prepares to go on tour with The Saturdays

Hiding her bump again: Una Healy continues to maintain her fantastic figure as she prepares to go on tour with The Saturdays

She may be over 20 weeks pregnant but Una Healy is still managing to maintain her fantastic figure.

The 30-year-old pop star was pictured arriving at the ITV studios with her band mates from The Saturdays today ahead of their appearance on Daybreak.

Una and her rugby player boyfriend, Ben Foden, 26, revealed this month that they are expecting a baby girl but she certainly showed no signs of a large bump in her glamorous outfit.

Still looking great: Una Healy arrived at the ITV studios today wearing an outfit that hardly showed off her growing baby bump

Stylish maternity wear: The Irish singer wore a black fitted skirt and blazer with a loose embellished top that hid the signs of pregnancy

Wearing a tight black skirt that showed off her tanned legs, the singer chose a loose embellished top that skimmed over her stomach and fell longer at the back.

She teamed it with a smart black blazer and purple strapped heels and wore hair hair down straight.

When Daybreak presenters, Christine Bleakley and Dan Lobb, asked her how she was and commented on her tiny stomach, Una laughed.

'She's hiding today,' she said. 'But she'll be joining us on tour.'

Her fellow pop stars joined in her in getting glammed up for the morning show.

Lady in red: Mollie King looked smart in a blazer which she teamed with a red leather skirt and carried a matching bag

Rochelle Wiseman, 22, arrived wearing a fitted black dress and matching platform heels with a long faux fur cardigan over the top with fitted sleeves.

Vanessa White, also 22, wore a dress as well but opted for a printed design and ankle boots.

The dark-haired wore a large pair of dark sunglasses despite it being a cloudy morning in London and also kept herself warm in a baggy grey cardigan.

Twenty-four-year-old Mollie King also looked smart wearing a blazer which she teamed with a red leather skirt, black top and unusual belt.

The blonde star carried a large red handbag and was more than happy to smile for the camera as she made her way inside with her band mates.

Braving the cold: Rochelle Wiseman (L) and Vanessa White both wore dresses and showed off their bare legs for their appearance on Daybreak

Noticeably absent was the fifth member of The Saturdays, Frankie Sandford.

The 22-year-old took two months off recently due to a mystery illness.

But when asked about her absence Rochelle was quick to answer saying: 'She’s doing well, she’s kind of easing herself back into work but she’s fine and we’re making sure she rests up for our tour in December. So yeah, she’s all good.'

Frankie reunited with the rest of the group last week when they were pictured arriving for workouts at the gym to prepare for their arena tour which begins next month.

But the group performed without her today as they continued to promote their latest single, My Heart Takes Over.
