Frankie Sandford shows off her legs in playsuit for The Saturdays TV appearance... before calling LA trip short to attend grandfather's funeral

It was back to business for The Saturdays on Thursday morning as they showed up to shoot their latest TV appearance during their trip to Los Angeles.
But while singer Frankie Sandford was the picture of happiness as she arrived at the E! Entertainment building dressed to impress with her legs out, she had to face some sad news shortly afterwards.
The 23-year-old has now called her LA trip short after learning that her beloved grandfather has passed away.

Making an impact: The girls have spent the last few weeks in America trying to conquer the market, but Frankie has now had to pull out of a show at the city's Roxy Theatre next week

Unaware: It seems Sandford was told of the news after appearing on the US programme

It is not known how much longer her bandmates are scheduled to stay Stateside but it's thought she could miss the rest of the American trip this time around.
Earlier in the day Frankie was concentrating on her latest task at hand, winning over the American audience as they continue their efforts to conquer the market.
Sandford oozed confidence as she strutted into the television studios showing off her legs in a minuscule playsuit with a cinched in belt and high heels.

Here come the girls: Una Healy impressed in a figure hugging minuscule dress for the show, while Vanessa White wore a slightly longer animal print skirt for the day

Legs eleven: All the girls showed off their impressive pins for the appearance, showing off their best assets, of course

The long and short of it: Rochelle Wiseman sported an interesting ensemble which hung low to the floor at the back but was cut short at the front to show off her legs

Covering her eyes from the LA sun she wore large shades before heading inside.
Mollie King wore a similar get-up as she joined Sandford by her side in a navy mini-dress and maroon heels with her blonde locks worn down and blow dried.
Una Healy, meanwhile, left baby Aoife momentarily to film the show while showing off her own perfect physique in a figure hugging dress.

In mourning: Frankie would have no doubt had her band mates around her comforting her after learning of the news

Vanessa White, meanwhile, opted for a slightly longer animal print skirt, although still showed off her pins with the design, which she teamed with a short sleeved black top and red lipstick.
And it was down to the fifth member, Rochelle Wiseman, to stand out in a quirky get-up which consisted of a navy mullet-type frock which skimmed the floor but was cut short at the front to again reveal her best assets.
