JLS' family Christmas

Dec 24, 2009, 10:09 GMT

JLS plan to spend Christmas cuddling their mothers.

The boy band - who have had a busy year after releasing their self-titled debut album and topping the charts with their first two singles 'Beat Again' and 'Everybody In Love' - can't wait to have a break from work over the festive period so they can spend time with their loved-ones.

Singer Marvin Humes said: "We've got a few days off over Christmas and we can't wait to go home to our mums for a kiss and a cuddle."

However, their break will be short-lived as they return to the stage in February and work on the release of their upcoming single 'One Shot'.

He added: "Then it's straight back into it with the tour in February and the release of our third single."

The foursome - also consisting of Aston Merrygold, Jonathan 'JB' Gill and Oritse Williams - had a disappointing Christmas last year.

They narrowly lost out on winning British TV talent show 'The X Factor', finishing as runners-up to 'Bad Boys' songstress Alexandra Burke.
