LITTLE MIX GET PERSONAL WITH TRAINING AT DAVID LLOYD LEISURE! Girl band film gym-inspired music video for Sport Relief charity single
(PRWEB UK) 4 March 2014 -- The UK’s most exciting girl band of the moment, Little Mix, added exercise to the mix when they filmed their new gym-inspired music video for the official Sport Relief single, Word Up, at David Lloyd Farnham, Surrey.
The girls, covering the 1986 smash hit by Cameo, are seen causing chaos across a gym, putting a variety of famous sports and entertainment stars through their paces in the club’s gym and sports hall during a group cycle class and aerobics workout.
And there were special ‘cameo’ appearances by a number of celebrities, including gymnast Louis Smith, Melanie C, actor Chris Barrie of ‘Mr Brittas’ fame, dancer Louie Spence, London Wasps and England international rugby player James Haskell and choreographer Arlene Phillips.
David Lloyd Farnham’s luxurious indoor pool also features in the video in a scene featuring synchronized swimmers.
Word Up by Little Mix is available to pre-order in the UK now from iTunes, and is available to download from March 16. The CD will be available to buy exclusively in Sainsbury’s stores from March 17.
Linden Henson, general manager at David Lloyd Farnham, said: “It was really fun to see Little Mix in action. The club was buzzing with excitement, with smiles all around – it is certainly not every day that our members come for their workout and get to see the UK’s biggest girl band filming their new video at their local club! We are proud to be involved, especially because it’s for such a great cause.”
Jade Thirlwall, of Little Mix, said: “We are so happy to be part of Sport Relief and want to help raise as much cash as possible for some truly amazing causes, both in the UK and around the world.”
