"We are PLUS, the real girl band"


We are a new girl band who will show the world that big can be beautiful as well as commercially successful. We want people to see beyond our size and respect us for being the fantastic singers that we are.


I'm Shirley Slaymaker and I'm single and loving it!! I would describe myself as super fun loving, honest, charismatic, laid back and spontaneous!

I'm Stacey-Lee - I have a long term boyfriend Lee and he is my soul mate. My inspiration is my Mum!

Hi I'm Rachel, I'm single and my celebrity crushes at the moment are Russell Brand and David Tennant, but Jude Law is a permanent fixture!

I'm Kate, I would describe myself as funny, excitable, generous, chatty & loving.

I'm Hannah I live with my Fiance who has encouraged me most throughout auditioning for PLUS.

  • Rehearsals

    Monday 8th October and it was time for the ladies of Plus to get together and rehearse. It has been a few weeks since we were last together, and we were all naturally very excited!

    It was lovely to see the ladies looking gorgeous and very relaxed ahead of our long day in rehearsal. We had much to chat about and as always there were jokes flying around before we got down to the serious business of singing.

    The plan for the day was to listen to the finished tracks and run through them with live vocals and dance steps. We were all seriously impressed with the end result from our two days spent recording in the studio.

    The first track is an uptempo one so dancing to this one was great fun and we all got into it very quickly. We all had to make sure we knew where to come in which meant listening to the track a few times over until we were all familiar with it. After dancing energetically we became rather hot and took a break for a drink. Water had never tasted so good!

    It was time for us to run through the second track. This track has an entirely different feel to the first and required a change in direction with the choreography. It was hard work switching styles and the transition took some time to get used to. We tried various dance moves to find the best steps to suit the track which involved much discussion. By 3 0 clock the rehearsals were in full swing and we were really getting into our stride. Although it was boiling hot under the lights and vocally challenging I feel the day was a success and now we are definitely more prepared for our live show!

    My sister, Sheila who is a make-up artist was on hand to give the girls each a sassy evening look. Stacey and Kate loved their smokey eyes!

    We rounded off the day by having a lovely lunch together in a local bar. We were keen to talk about the day's events and future plans for the band which includes the making of our video. The mood was upbeat and we were all looking forward to our next endeavour!



    Until the next time....Love from Plus...xxxxx

  • Fashion Show

    "Hi, you beautiful people!
    The fashion show on Friday was fantastic! It was so nice seeing all the girls again (miss you all, already!) and seeing all those plus-sized beauties strutting their fabulous stuff - you are all gorgeous! I loved all the clothes that were being flaunted there - especially the corsets! We saw
    a few girls modelling that were at the auditions for "Plus" as well, so it was great to catch up!
    We also were interviewed by Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby which was amazing - it's so strange meeting people off the telly because you feel like you know them!
    "Plus" are going to be recording on the 14th and I really can't wait, I'm so excited to go and catch up with the girls - and to go and sing, of course!
    I saw the article in The Sun Online and I loved it, I was so proud of us, especially Stacey - what you said was really great and funny! However, some of the comments that were made after were so pathetic, they made me laugh out loud! But, I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how
    small-minded and ignorant it is!
    Finally, I want to say thankyou so much for all your birthday wishes, I had a fantastic 18th, and your comments just made it even more special!
    See you all soon!
    Love Rachel xxx"
