Jo told the audience: “We’re really just concentrating on the tour at the moment but I always say ‘never say never’ and when the fans want it and things are going really well [then] most likely.’
Jon added: “It doesn’t feel any different to be honest. We’ve known each other for a very, very long time – so we just slip into a natural routine, old habits, of who we are and how we get along.’
The group of buddies then started chatting heartily about their old dance and if they remember then.
Paul said: “I remember everything [the dance moves] Exactly – I was the master of the dance moves. There are definitely a few I can’t get right… think of the caterpillar!”
Tina quipped, “Brad used to do handstands… and all his loose change came out of his pockets,” and Hannah added, “And Jon did a backflip.”
Scott then asked, “Bradley, are we going to see that again?” He replied: “No, definitely not. It depends on what the insurance policy is on this tour!’
What can we expect?
S Club 7 have announced that they will shed their ’90s outfits of belly tops and headscarves for the upcoming 25th anniversary tour.
At a press conference announcing their tour, the group were asked by BBC presenter Scott Mills, “Do we think the outfits will change or stay the same?”
Rachel Stevens was quick to reply, “Some are going to have to stay firmly in their 90s.”
Recalling some of her iconic looks that will linger in the past, Bradley McIntosh added, “The Bandannas,” while Hannah Spearritt said, “The Belly Tops.”
