Channel 4 A Place in the Sun fans taken aback to discover host's pop star past

A Place in the Sun fans have been taken aback to learn of host Leah Charles-King's former job.

The star, who is probably best known for presenting the Channel 4 property hunt programme, took to Twitter on Tuesday with a throwback clip. Leah shared her popstar past as she revealed she was in a girl band in the 90s.

Sharing a snippet of a music video, Leah said she and her cousins were in a band called "Kleshay" back in 1999.

She said: "In the 90s I wasin a girl band called ‘Kleshay’ with my first cousins, Candii and Alani. 'Rush' was released by Sony Music 24 years ago today! 20-2-1999.

"Fun fact: This 'desert' scene was filmed in the Canary Wharf area before it was redeveloped to what you see today."

Replying to the tweet, Emma said: "Wow, I had no idea! A woman of many talents", while Claudia said: "Had no idea! This is brilliant" It's a banger still you know". Matt said: "Love this throwback! I’d forgotten about it but remember buying the CD", and Benjamin said: "This is a vibe!"

Kleshay had two top 40 hits. Their first single, Reason, went to number 33, while Rush entered the charts at number 19 in February 1999.
