  Blazin' Squad: 'We love the attention!'
Updated 23 August 2002, 18.58

They may be the new kids on the block - but Blazin' Squad are loving every minute of it.

In an interview with CBBC Newsround Online to launch their new weekly diary for us, they told us how things are going.

They've been really busy over the last few weeks promoting their new single, Crossroads, which was released this week, and looks set to go straight to number one on Sunday.

And the 10 mates from north-east London have appeared on loads of radio stations, TV shows and magazines.

"At first when people were asking for autographs we we're like 'what for?' But now we're used to it," DJ Tommy B told me.

They say they are coping well with the interviews too, which are getting easier as they get used to answering all the questions being thrown at them.

But as with anything, the good goes hand in hand with the bad. The boys have had to cope with some not too pleasing attention from other lads who might just be jealous of their success.

"Some boys do shout abuse and we have had some dodgy phone calls - but we just laugh them off," explains Flava, aka James.

All the female attention is obviously pleasing the single boys though.

"Performing is great," says Kenzie, "but we love meeting the girls too!"

Hear hear!

The boys will be writing us an exclusive weekly diary of their lives, so come back next Friday and find out what their first week has been like!
