They've become the biggest boyband in the UK.
So it comes as no surprise that JLS reportedly enjoyed some serious VIP travel treatment for their escape to Antigua.
Jonathan 'JB' Gill, 25, Marvin Humes, 26, Oritsé Williams, 25, and Aston Merrygold, 23, were all spotted relaxing beach side in the Caribbean resort of Carlisle Bay last week.

They had reportedly enjoyed their own private check-in desk at Gatwick airport before they flew out for their well-earned break.
They were then whisked to their hotel in a stretch limo accompanied by a police escort.
The boys were said to have brought a 16-man entourage, which included JB's girlfriend Chloe Tangney, to celebrate JB's birthday.

Tweeting from paradise: Williams took to the band's official account to describe just how perfect their holiday is

Carlisle Bay is one of the Caribbean's most talked about resorts. It is set on a white sands beach with a backdrop of lush rainforest-covered hills. 
They have been tweeting non-stop about beach parties, dancing and drinking.
Williams wrote on the band's official account yesterday: 'Dancing, drinking and eating with the local people all day on the beach!!! "this is the LIFE" *he jumps in the sea* woohooooo!!!!! ORI xxx
It's three years since JLS lost The X Factor but their record sales dwarf those of winner Alexandra Burke.

Their first three albums have sold two million copies combined, while their singles sales are at around 2.2 million units.
In their short careers the boys have made, at a conservative estimate, £2.5 million apiece.
‘You know what, sometimes it’s good to be under-rated, to not actually win,’ the band’s mentor Louis Walsh said recently.
