00:00 Guys, are you happy? Are you enjoying yourselves?
00:02 -It's great. -Yeah.
00:03 -It's so exciting. -So much fun.
00:05 When was the last time you were on the bill for a big thing like this?
00:08 We were back at the O2. We was at the O2 a couple of months ago, so it's great to be back here.
00:12 Yeah, it's home. I forgot, Brad. Sorry, it's home, isn't it?
00:15 I was there and I just sang and danced and cried and just loved the whole thing so much.
00:20 I miss the kids though. They're the night after.
00:23 -Yeah. -We should have called as parents ever.
00:25 -We got some cool parents points for a few hours and then... -I think we actually are.
00:28 -Yeah. -Tell that to them.
00:30 Do they want to be on stage? Do they kind of get a taste for it?
00:33 -Yeah. -Couldn't get your one off.
00:34 Couldn't get mine off. He was just like, "Okay, yeah. I'll take over from here."
00:40 They've definitely had a taste of it now. I think they definitely would love to be up there more.
00:44 -We've created little monsters. Now we're happy. -That is so cute.
00:47 So is this everything you wanted it to be? Obviously, there's a huge tinge of sadness,
00:51 but is it everything? The comeback, was it surprising?
00:54 Do you know what? The fans have been just unbelievable. They've been so warm and welcomed
00:58 us back with open arms. So yeah, we feel really grateful, so lucky, and yeah, we're enjoying it.
01:03 -It's good. -So good.
01:04 What was it like when the curtains kind of came down and you saw those fans singing the
01:08 words, including me? Did it completely take you by surprise that everyone was still in
01:13 the room?
01:13 It's nuts. It really is. We did meet and greets before every show and hearing all the stories
01:18 of how our music helped people through if they were being bullied at school or something.
01:22 It was a positive vibe that helped them through a lot of times, so that to us was the biggest
01:25 thing. It was amazing.
01:26 And also, people probably had babies to your music and then had first dances.
01:31 Yeah, weddings. Our fans had their babies with them.
01:35 -You know. -So lovely.
01:37 And Miami 7 is back. We can watch it.
01:39 Oh my god!
01:40 -Oh, BBC. -Oh, BBC.
01:42 I was so surprised. I think it was on a Tuesday, was it? Or Thursday? I rushed home and it
01:48 meant everything to me.
01:49 It was Thursday at ten past five. Isn't it?
01:52 -Trust Jo knows all the fun facts. -I do.
01:55 -She does. -I just do.
01:57 Have you sat down and binged it together or have you already done that?
02:00 I've watched one episode with my son, but I know some of you guys have watched it.
02:03 I've watched it with my son and he's a big fan and I'm like, wow, that's a good test.
02:08 Seven year olds like it.
02:10 It's weird watching it back. I mean, you don't look any different.
02:14 I don't remember being that young.
02:15 -No, we look so young. -No, really don't. We were children when we
02:17 were little.
02:18 I feel like our voices, everyone's voices, are so funny.
02:20 Yeah, everyone is.
02:21 This stuff really like chipmunks.
02:23 I've got to say, I enjoyed it more. I felt like it was less cringe than what I thought
02:27 it would be.
02:28 Yeah.
02:29 It was really funny. You guys are really funny.
02:32 I know. I can't believe we're the awards.
02:34 So, I hear you're going to the awards in 2024. Are you hoping for like a Brits Grammys?
02:39 -Oh, let's do it. -Yeah, yeah.
02:40 -Let's do it. -Let's do it.
02:41 -Bring it on. -Yeah.
02:43 What are you thinking about music wise? Is there a new album coming?
02:46 There will be new music next year. That's for definite.
02:49 How do you go about writing together again? How does it work?
02:52 Well, we're just trying to get the right song at the moment. I think once we've done it,
02:57 we'll go that's the one. So, yeah, it's all about timing and making sure that it's the
03:01 right song that's going to fit with what we're doing.
03:03 And how often are you seeing each other when you're not performing? Is it like going for
03:07 a coffee?
03:08 We've got about 20 WhatsApp groups.
03:10 Yeah, we're constantly messaging on our WhatsApp.
03:14 We're doing it together next weekend. We're taking the kids to a Christmas thing next
03:17 weekend.
03:18 Yeah, yeah. And that's like... I don't think we've done that much really because back in
03:24 the day, we were so busy. So, like our days off would literally be...
03:28 -See you later. Bye. -Yeah.
03:30 I need a break.
03:31 It's so wonderful. Do you kind of wish you'd done it a bit sooner?
03:34 No, I think it was the right... Everything's about timing and I think it really was just
03:38 the right time.
03:39 Perfect, yeah.
03:40 So, we've got Miami 7, London 7. Let's get a new TV set.
03:43 -Hey! -I love it.
03:45 I like the sound of London 7. 100%.
03:47 I've been saying London 7 for years. I think this is the only place we haven't really done
03:51 like that and it's our hometown.
03:52 London 7 in July though. Only in July.
03:55 What about ITV at home with S Club?
03:58 -There you go. -There you go.
04:00 Would you do it?
04:01 -Yeah. -You've got all the ideas.
04:02 -Should we pitch it? -Yeah.
04:03 Why don't you pitch it? I think you just did.
04:05 And also, podcast. Let's do a podcast.
04:06 Come on, Wadda.
04:07 Let's just do everything.
04:08 We're global. You can do a podcast together, right?
04:11 Yeah, let's do it.
04:12 Guys, thank you so much. I mean, honestly.
04:15 Thank you.
04:16 Thank you so much.
