The Big Reunion Let the bickering begin! Atomic Kitten, 5ive and 911 all reunite for ITV2 show

Bitching, backstabbing and bawling... why would anyone want to re-form their defunct pop band?

For our entertainment, of course (and a wad of money).

Some clever ITV2 bigwigs have rounded up a gaggle of former chart stars for its new show The Big Reunion.

Hilariously, Atomic Kitten (the original line-up) started bickering mid-interview.

Liz McClarnon claimed she was the group’s main songwriter, prompting gobby Natasha Hamilton to bulldoze in: “Er, no.

"We’re all songwriters, thank you very much. Liz is not the band’s songwriter.”

5ive are now, um, four since the fit one, J, didn’t fancy it but they’re not changing their name.

Scott Robinson argued: “Westlife didn’t change their name when Brian McFadden left.”

Yes, but their name didn’t relate to the number of people in the band.

Undaunted, he added: “Our catchphrase can be ‘5ive go four-ward’.”

Vertically-challenged 911 win the prize for being the most crazy back in the day.

Pocket-sized Lee Brennan boasted: “We got deported from Bahrain because we were all naked in the hotel pool.

“We nearly got 10 years, never mind being thrown out of the country.

"The authorities put us on the first plane out of there.”

Eat your heart out, Oasis.

Meanwhile, Lee’s ex-wife Lindsay Armaou from B*Witched came along for the ride with her band, too.

And threatened to don denim again. Brilliant.
