Louise Griffiths Movies and Career Information

Louise Griffiths, (born 31 July 1978 in Hertfordshire, England) is an English pop singer, songwriter, model and actress. She is the daughter of a London taxicab driver, and she also plays the saxophone. She was a contestant in the BBC television series Fame Academy in 2003. Griffiths was a member of an all girl band, Orchid, who originally recorded the hit song "Sound of the Underground" in 2001. Their single was never released, but the song was later re-recorded by Louis Walsh's pop band Girls Aloud. In 2003 Griffiths was one of the first four students chosen by the public to appear on the second series of the BBC TV show Fame Academy when it was revealed in the press that she was the girlfriend of Formula One driver Jenson Button. Despite complaints that her celebrity boyfriend and former recording and songwriting experience gave her an unfair advantage, she made it to the final eight before being voted out. Although Griffiths did not get a recording contract after the show, one of the songs she co-wrote with fellow student Alistair Griffin, "The Heart Can't Lie", was included on his debut album Bring It On which reached #12 in the UK album chart in January 2004.
