This Morning viewers couldn't help but make the same quip as S Club 7 made an appearance on the show. The pop group have been doing the media rounds after announcing their plans to reunite for a tour to mark their 25th anniversary.
The seven-piece pop group, who were originally created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller in 1998 and boast pop hits including Reach, Don’t Stop Movin’ and their debut Bring It All Back, disbanded in 2003 but briefly came back together in 2014 to perform a medley of their best-known songs for the BBC Children In Need appeal.
But this time they're full back in the pop business as they'll hit the road with a new UK and Ireland arena reunion tour which will see all the original seven members – Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett – performing together for the first time in nine years.

They will open their 11-date tour on October 13 in Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena before continuing to cities including Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester before The O2 in London will be the last stop on the tour on October 28.
Bandmates Rachel, Jo, and Bradley joined Dermot O’Leary and Josie Gibson on the This Morning couch on Wednesday (February 15) to discuss their upcoming reunion tour. Speaking after the seven-piece pop group revealed comeback plans to mark the band’s 25th anniversary, Rachel described the reunion as "insane".
Describing how the plans were kickstarted, she said: "We got an email from Simon Fuller at the end of last year so it all happened quite quickly. It was a very good email and to think we’re celebrating 25 years, which is just insane. We set up a WhatsApp group and we’ve been talking ideas and everyone was just [like], ‘yes, absolutely. Let’s do this!"
Asked by Josie if the group had remained close, Jo replied: "Yes, we have all like, dipped in and out [of contact] because obviously everyone’s got different lives and children and you know, so it’s always very busy. But we’re always so connected. I think we’ll be like that for the rest of our lives because we shared such a special thing together, that I think we will be together in some way forever. And we’ve fallen back into it."
Bradley said: "We’ve got that special connection where it doesn’t matter how long we haven’t seen each other. When we’re back it was like we were 16 year-olds again." Asked about their upcoming plans, Bradley commented: "We’ve got a lot of fans asking if we’re going to do new music and stuff. So you know, fingers crossed. You know - maybe."
Rachel added: "There are so many things we did like the TV show and everything. Like there’s so many opportunities and potentially we could do some." The bandmates also told how they were excited to attract a new generation of S Club fans, since becoming parents.
Bradley said: "We want people to bring their kids!" Rachel shared: "It’s so lovely for our children as well to be a part of it. We’ve got seven between us." Jo added: "My one’s 15 this year and he’s actually quite excited."
Speaking about his five-year-old son, Bradley sweetly commented: "He kind of understands. He was so excited to see me on the TV the other day. He was saying: 'Daddy’s on TV!'"
But This Morning viewers couldn't help but ask where the rest of the band were. @DavidMackayy tweeted: "S Club 3? Where’s the rest of them? #ThisMorning." @sparkloaf26 quipped: "Looks like s club 3 to me #ThisMorning."
