Couldn’t you imagine it? Make-up and hair are already done, and they’ve got two hours to kill before the arena fills up. So they all dress up in their dinner jackets, and make sure their hand-tied bow ties are adjusted to perfection, before deciding between playing separate games of poker on websites like www.partycasino.com/, or pulling out their handy deck of cards. Then when time is up, they’ll do a quick change and jump out on stage.

Weird I know, but what fantasy is ever normal? You can’t deny it would be a funny thing to witness. Who do you reckon would be the superior poker player? As Aston fans we’d all like to think he could beat the other three easily. Then again, while you do need to be skilled to outsmart the competition, lady luck also comes into the equation. Likely the quartet are evenly matched.

Anything can happen in a JLS daydream though, so as far as we’re concerned Aston would win every poker game, even the online ones. If they did play poker on their days off and such, it would be a great excuse for us fans to learn how to play too. We’d have something to chat to them about, if we ever bumped into them in the street. And also if you don’t manage to get tickets for their next tour, you’ll have something to do on the days you would have gone.

JLS heart throb Aston Merrygold had to be resuced by lifeguards after getting his foot caught on a camera cable as the group filmed underwater.

Aston, 24, and his bandmates were all fully clothed in a swimming pool in Basildon, Essex, as they filmed footage to accompany their upcoming arena tour – which starts on Wednesday in Liverpool.

A source told The Sun: “Aston was really shaken up. He couldn’t untangle the cable and was underwater for some time.

“The other lads thought he was joking until it became obvious he was stuck. Luckily they had lifeguards on set who dived in to save him.

“In the end he was gutted that a couple of blokes rescued him instead of female lifeguards.”

I’ve added x03 medium quality images of Aston and the rest of the JLS boys in this weeks “Celebs” magazine where the boys are dressed in Addidas, Gio-Goi and Nike. Big thanks to @JLSUnlimited for the scans, make sure you follow them if you aren’t already.
