* AccidentalInnuendo: When Cheryl made an appearance on ''Styled to Rock'' as the challenge of the week, she and Nicola met up with one of the contestants. When Nicola commented that she liked how the design of the pants had the word "lane" printed on the leg, Cheryl immediately started giggling and hit Nicola on the arm.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The video for "Something Kinda Ooooh". They've admitted that they ran out of time to properly film the music video, hence the dodgy green screen effects behind them and the fact that the cars they were in were obviously parked in stationary positions.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Life Got Cold" bears quite a resemblance to Oasis' "Wonderwall".
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: "Long Hot Summer" was intended for the ''Herbie: Fully Loaded'' soundtrack, but the plans fell through.
** "Hoxton Heroes" was intended to be on ''Tangled Up'', but ExecutiveMeddling relegated it to the BSide for "Can't Speak French".
** ExecutiveMeddling at the record label did not want "The Promise" to be the first single off of ''Out of Control''. They wanted "Rolling Back The Rivers In Time" instead, but the girls fought their label and won out.

** On one of the band's behind the scenes specials in 2005, Cheryl makes a crack about she and the rest of the girls don't really want to be singing "Love Machine" by the time they're 30. In 2013, all five of them are already at that age and they'll be touring on their greatest hits, which include "Love Machine."

* GrowingTheBeard: When the group was first formed, they were still considered a novelty, due to being formed on ''Popstars: The Rivals'' and there was no real successful act to spring from reality television. It wasn't until they released "Love Machine" and then ''Chemistry'' that critics started to take notice of their output.
