I love Ben's ball control
POP babe Una Healy has confessed that watching her sporty boyfriend performing on the pitch turns her on. The Saturdays' hottie admits she Just Can't Get Enough of rugby star Ben Foden's pitch perfect physique.
She said: "He's so talented at what he does and has a great body. I find watching him play really sexy."
Una, 27, recently moved into a plush London love nest after a whirlwind romance with the rugby union scrum-half. The besotted couple hooked up late last year when Ben, 23, saw the Tipperary singer strut her stuff on TV. The Northampton and England player was so smitten he contacted her agent, who arranged their first date. Sexy Una had Issues with her first boyfriend, who cheated on her when she was 17, but the Thurles beauty won't be kicking rugged Ben into touch any time soon.
Witty
She said: "I have a real witty side and he knows how to bring that out -- unlike other boyfriends who just kind of repress that.
"We both laugh at, and with, each other all the time.
"He's fantastic. He's quite romantic and says nice things all the time, but the main thing is he really makes me laugh."
Rising star Una has penned a string of hits like the catchy Up for her bandmates Vanessa White, 19, Rochelle Wiseman, 20, Mollie King, 21, and Frankie Sandford, 20. And she is looking forward to showcasing them on her home turf when The Saturdays play Oxegen at Punchestown on July 12. But the feisty singer, who has been nicknamed Fierce by fans, reckons independence has been key to making her love and showbiz lives line-out so well together.
She said: "It is no fun to be in a relationship with someone insecure and clingy.
"When you have your own interests and haven't revolved your whole life around a man, if things go wrong and you get dumped, then it won't be so bad.
"You have your own money, your career and you can get on with it."
