Liberty X sent fans into a frenzy when the original line-up reunited 10 years after their final shows together.
The group – starring Michelle Heaton, Tony Lundon, Kevin Simm, Jessica Taylor and Kelli Young – scored a run of hits between 2001 and 2005, including the No. 1 single Just A Little.

After releasing their third and final album the group split and, despite a brief 2013 reunion for ‘The Big Reunion’, Tony and Kevin departed in 2016 – after the latter auditioned for ‘The Voice UK’, before joining Wet Wet Wet as Marti Pellow’s replacement – leaving the remaining members to tour as a trio.
However, after the original Fab Five enjoyed a night out, fans went wild at the sight of the 2000s stars together, with Kevin sharing a snap on Instagram and writing: “I haven’t laughed as hard in ages!
“Sharing amazing and hilarious memories with equally amazing friends.”
Sharing the same picture on her feed, Michelle wrote: “Liberty X… Reunited… after 8 years…”
“The reunion you didn’t know you needed to see till now…” she added on X.
Taking to the comments, fans of the Being Nobody hitmakers shared their excitement, with one declaring: “OMG! This picture made my day better. Liberty X is and will always be my favorite band.”
“Wow this is so amazing to see!! Come back boys, let’s get the full line up of Liberty X performing again,” said another, while a third added: “This is my Roman Empire.”
Others were quick to call for a full-time reunion, questioning, “Whats this about then?” and declaring the band to be the “creators of some of the best pop music over the last 30 years”.
