Bradley McIntosh
Bradley often shows off his amazing body transformation in a series of shirtless snaps on Instagram.
The singer was notably slimmer back in the day when the band first found fame in the 90s.
The S Club 7 star, 41, displayed his chiselled gym physique on social media ahead of the band’s reunion tour later this year.
Determined Bradley said he ‘never quit’ the gym but he previously ‘lost months worth of hard work’ due to taking a break.
After the end of S Club 7, Bradley went on to form another band on the show MTV’s Totally Boyband.
The boyband was called Upper Street and included members from other disbanded groups like 911, Steps and Another Level.

Jo O’Meara
Jo, who previously revealed she quit smoking and booze as part of a lifestyle, has surprised many viewers with her drastically different appearance.
The singer, 43, previously took to Instagram Stories to share a glimpse of her transformation after giving up cigarettes and alcohol.
She wrote at the time: ‘Just goes to show you [what] dedication can do! Eating clean, training hard, quitting smoking, and quitting alcohol! I feel like a different person!’
The singer took a break from the spotlight after being at the centre of Celebrity Big Brother’s race row with Jade Goody and Danielle Lloyd in 2007, when the trio were accused of racist and bullying behaviour towards fellow contestant Shilpa Shetty.

Hannah Spearritt
Hannah looks completely different to back in her S Club 7 days as she ditched her trademark blonde locks and now rocks bright pink hair.
The songstress, 41, also ditched her signature bandana’s and sporty ensembles and is now known for her edgy sense of style.
Hannah previously underwent breast implant surgery that left her suffering from chronic fatigue, memory loss and hair loss, as well as depression and anxiety.
Since the group disbanded in 2003, Hannah has gone on to build a career as an actress, starring in major productions on both sides of the pond.
Hannah, who was reportedly paid a salary of £150,000 a year during her time in S Club 7, was forced to move into an office after losing her house just before Christmas.

Paul Cattermole
It’s hardly a surprise that Paul, 38, has changed somewhat since he was in his early twenties.
But fans have been left in shock at how unrecognisable Paul looks compared to back in his S Club 7 days.
Paul, who was previously in a relationship with band member Hannah, has ditched his buzzcut and now has long greying hair.
In 2002, Paul sent shockwaves through S Club 7’s global fanbase when he spectacularly announced he was quitting the group citing ‘creative differences’.
He had a rocky road after leaving the band, becoming bankrupt in 2015 and even putting his Brit Award up for sale on eBay for £650 and saying: ‘There’s bills to pay’.

Tina Barrett
Apart from her noticeably longer locks, Tina looks very similar to how she did on stage all those years ago.
However, Tina’s style has changed compared to the revealing ensembles she used to wear – yes, we’re talking about that iconic red dress from 20 years ago.
These days, the mother-of-one is seen dressing more conservatively when out and about.
She also opts for a more natural look now compared to her previous bold makeup looks.
She welcomed her son Roman in 2016 with her ex Paul Cashmore, who she dated for six years until 2019.

Rachel Stevens
25 years on and Rachel doesn’t look all that different from back in her hey-day.
The star has switched up her style slightly, going from dressing quirky and cool to chic and elegant.
Rachel’s radiant complexion has left fans shocked and failing to believe she’s 44.
While she was a pin-up to many during her pop career, Rachel recently confessed that she feels more confident with her appearance than ever, now she is older.
Speaking to The Sun last year, she said: ‘I definitely feel like I’ve got more confident and sexier as I’ve got older.
‘Your body is always changing, which is great, but you know more what you want out of life too, and that inner confidence gives you more sexiness.’

Jon Lee
It’s fair to say Jon has changed quite a bit since he joined the famous pop band in 1999.
The star now has a collection of tattoos on his arms, while his hair is noticeably shorter from back in his performing days.
He was often seen wearing oversized shirts on stage but appears to have swapped that for a more casual look.
Jon went from S Club 7 to the theatre, where he starred in Les Miserables, Aladdin and Jersey Boys.
In 2010 he came out, telling Gay Times: ‘It’s never needed to be a huge change that I’ve had to tell everyone about.’
