Cheeky Girls own label

The Cheeky Girls have reportedly bounced back from the collapse of their record label by setting up a label of their own.

The Mirror says Gabrielle and Monica Irimia, who were left high and dry when Telstar went bust last month, will be bringing out a new single this month and an album in October.

Both are recorded on XBN Music, a label they have set up with mum Margit.

Margit said: "Just days before Telstar went bust we'd been sent a letter offering us a new two-album deal and a £400,000 advance. The next thing we knew, it was all over.

"But I was determined that everything the girls had achieved so far would not be wasted.

"So we decided to start from scratch and set up our own label. I have become their record plugger, PR person, manager, promoter and kitchen cleaner all in one.

"But I know we'll succeed - the girls have a huge fan base. It's going to take more than that to get rid of the Cheeky Girls."

The new single, Cheeky Flamenco, is out on August 30.
