Hear'Say were one of the earliest major UK TV-created pop groups, formed through ITV's Popstars in 2000-01.The band were selected from thousands of applicants, with the formation of the band being documented on television.Their debut single, Pure and Simple, was a phenomenon and went to No1 in the UK selling 549,823 copies in its first week, setting a record at the time for a debut single. Hear'Say were formed on the same talent show as Liberty X, but split in 2002. Four of its original members are taking part in the tour (pictured Danny Foster, Noel Sullivan, Suzanne Shaw, Kym Marsh and Myleene Kym left the group in January 2002 and was replaced by Johnny Shentall. The new lineup released Lovin' Is Easy, but it didn't reproduce the group's earlier success.After being formed on Popstars in 2001, Liberty X released their debut single Thinking It Over, which reached number five in the UK charts.But it was their third single Just A Little that turned the group into global stars as it reached number one in the UK and became the ninth best-selling single of 2002.The band split in 2007 after their final album failed to make an impact, though they did reunite as part of ITV show The Big Reunion in 2013. Both bands also sat down for an interview with The Sun, and Kelli admitted the idea to reunite was something they came up with themselves.She said: 'Jessica and Michelle came up with the idea and then we took it out there. I started talking to a few people, but actually, really, thought it was best to just approach the guys ourselves.'We slipped into the DMs of Suzanne first and then Noel, and then it rolled away — we kind of got it going ourselves, to be honest.'Referencing Liberty X's famous PVC outfits and sexy routines, Kym added: 'I'm a 50-year-old grandmother, so for me to be doing those kinds of dance routines that we used to do...'They may not be as energetic as they used to be, but there will be a nod to it, for sure.'
