S Club 7 stars Jo O’Meara and Tina Barrett ensure there ain’t no party like a GHD launch party

One could be forgiven for thinking an S Club party was kicking off as Jo O’Meara and Tina Barrett reunited for an appearance at a central London launch on Monday evening. 

The pair were in attendance as luxury hair extensions brand Inanch unveiled a new collaboration with GHD Duet, but they were without their remaining five S Club 7 members as they let their hair down. 

Pop star O’Meara. 43, and bandmate Barrett, 46, were enjoying a night out after confirming the pop group are reuniting for a special 25th anniversary tour.

Opting for a striped blouse and high-slung leather skirt, Barrett ensured she caught the eye while greeting onlookers with her bandmate, who stepped out in a smart black co-ord. 

They were joined by former EastEnders actress Michelle Collins, with the three guests posing for photos shortly after making their way inside. 

Coming soon: All seven original members of S Club 7 – including Paul Cattermole, Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh and Hannah Spearritt – will come together for an 11-date arena tour

All seven original members of S Club 7 – including Paul Cattermole, Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh and Hannah Spearritt – will come together for an 11-date arena tour across the UK and Ireland.

But the group have made it clear they don’t have any current plans to release new music but added ‘never say never’.

They appeared on BBC Radio 2 in February to discuss their upcoming plans with host Scott Mills.

O’Meara told listeners: ‘We are just really concentrating on the tour at the moment, but I always say ‘never say never’ and if the fans want it and things go really well [then] very possibly.’

Confirming their return in an official statement, the band said: ‘After eight years it feels amazing to announce that we’re reuniting and performing together again.

Let’s go: O’Meara shielded herself beneath an umbrella as she made her way home, while Collins threw on a full-length leather coat 

She’s pleased: The pop star appeared to be in high spirits – and with good reason 

‘We’re so excited to bring the S Club Party back to our fans across the country to celebrate 25 years of S Club 7. We can’t even believe it’s been so long!

‘Music and friendship have always been at the core of everything that we’ve ever done. We hope everyone can join us for one big party!’

The 25th anniversary tour is an opportunity for S Club 7 fans of every generation to come together and re-experience the timeless pop hits that soundtracked the British charts for five years.

Collectively, S Club 7 amassed four UK number one singles with ‘Bring It All Back’, ‘Never Had a Dream Come True’, ‘Don’t Stop Movin’, and ‘Have You Ever’, as well as the UK number one album ‘7’.

They recorded 4 studio albums, released 11 singles that all entered the Top 5 UK charts, and went on to sell over 10 million albums worldwide.
