STRING when your winning— and that's exactly what ESCALA are doing after signing a £1.5MILLION deal with SIMON COWELL.

The Britain's Got Talent girls put pen to paper just hours before they kicked off the BGT roadshow at the Hammersmith Apollo on Friday night.

I can also reveal that the girls look set to earn a whopping £5million each next year with svengali Cowell tuning the sexy string quartet into the new Il Divo.

Well, I think we knew that would be on the cards !!  No surprises there then 

 SC he does not always need talent scouts-----he got the programme and he got 1st pickings of those who enter

Nothing new when it comes to SC

Good for them, they're talented girls and were the best act in the BGT final IMO.  It was always on the cards that Simon would sign them as they were easily the most marketable of the finalists.

Could get rather interesting as Bond are planning a big comeback later in the year I believe? 

I am very pleased for them. They deserve a chance, even if it is with SC!! Thanks for posting Adrienne

I am really pleased for them. I enjoyed Bond...but I have not heard anything from them for a long time. There is room for both

Ooo excellent stuff :)

I really liked these. So hope they do well.

Hope to see em live if and when they tpour by themselves :)

Thanks for that Adrienne. I'm really pleased for Escala, they deserve it - they are an extremely talented and very entertaining group.

Looks like Simon's been a busy man, he's signed up Andrew Johnston as well!
