Girls from a Morden guide troop have got up close and personal with their musical heroes.

Rising stars Girls Can’t Catch met members of 3rd Morden Guides last week. The troop were winners of a national competition to design stage outfits for the group.

Girls Can’t Catch - who recently toured with million-selling stars Girls Aloud - visited the girls on April 20.

The singers gave the guides fashion tips during the trip to their headquarters at St John Fisher Church Hall in Cannon Hill Lane.

A spokesman for troop said: “The band signed copies of the recent single Echo and posters which will be hanging in the girls’ bedrooms as reminders of their idols’ special visit.”
