Hear'Say shot to fame in 2001 after they won the hit sining competition Popstars – but where are they now?
In 2000, thousands of hopefuls attended auditions for ITV's Popstars talent show.
They were judged by Nigel Lythgoe, Paul Adam and Nicki Chapman, who had worked with the Spice Girls.
The five chosen singers formed Hear'Say, while the five unsuccessful finalists went on to form the group Liberty X.
The pop group and their accomplishments ended up paving the way to success for the band members - Danny Foster, Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw and Noel Sullivan.
While the band were together, they topped the charts with their hit Pure and Simple and the album titled Popstars – both the single and the album took the number one spots at the time.
2001 saw the band achieve so much – going from strength-to-strength and garnering an impressive fan base.
But due to Kym's unwavering popularity, she fast became the most famous member – which was partly down to the fact that she was dating EastEnders ' actor Jack Ryder at the time.
Everything fell apart for the band when Kym announced she was leaving in 2002 – but what have the Hear'Say members been up to since they went their separate ways?
Kym Marsh
As we discovered earlier on, Kym left the band in 2002 to 'pursue solo ventures' – but she later revealed that not all was what is seemed.
Rumours have often swirled around whether or not there were feuds among the bandmates, and apparently this was the case.
Kym apparently clashed with Myleene Klass and Noel Sullivan – which is part of the reason the band split.
Jumping ship from music to acting, Kym moved to the cobbled streets and joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2006.
Fans will remember the brunette beauty joining the soap as Michelle Connor – where she was a part of some huge story lines.
She ended up staying in the soap for 13 years and announced her departure in 2019.
Last year, Kym got hitched to her long-term beau army major Scott Ratcliff, in an intimate yet lavish ceremony.
Myleene Klass
Mylene is another successful former member of Hear'Say and has gone on to have a glowing career since the band broke up.
One year after the band split she signed a a five-album deal with Universal Classics and Jazz, with a classical music album being released a year later in 2003.
She's had number ones and number twos in the UK chart – going from strength-to-strength as a classical music artist.
Myleene has also had a glowing career on TV and has often popped up on our screens.
Most will remember the stunning brunette star for appearing on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in 2006 – yes, she was responsible for the slew of iconic shower scenes!
In 2010 she hosted Popstar to Operastar – keeping her work within the realm of her classical music expertise.
And you may recognise her dulcet tones from presenting her own radio show on Smooth Radio.
Suzanne Shaw
Suzanne Shaw was just 21 when Hear'Say split, but this didn't prevent her from making a name for herself and hitting the bit time.
She went on to perform on the West End and was the narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 2005.
After that she then starred as Janet in The Rocky Horror Show national tour.
A couple of years after her theatre stint she went on to star in The Bill in 2007.
Fans of the band or those who love the soaps might recognise her from her role of Eve Birch in Emmerdale, or from when she won Dancing on Ice in 2008.
More recently she's dipped her toe into panto and in 2021 she played Belle in Beauty and the Beast at Chesterfield's Pomegranate Theatre.
Danny Foster
Danny Foster hasn't really stayed in the public eye since the breakdown of the super band – but he's doing pretty well.
He's still singing though and does so in a band which is named: Danny Foster & The Big Soul Corporation, which has a focus on performing Motown songs.
His dream of making it big has never gone away though and in 2013 he auditioned for The Voice but sadly didn't make it through.
Danny's social media presence is very low-key and he only has around 3,000 followers on Instagram.
Posting snippets of his life with wife Victoria Goddard, Danny appears to be incredibly spiritual and his bio says that he meditates daily, practices self love and eats plants.
Noel Sullivan
Noel Sullivan is a Welsh singer and actor who has gone on to have a brilliant career since his stint in the band and its subsequent downfall.
Like Suzanne, he has gone on to star in many stage productions including Fame and as Danny in Grease on the West End.
In 2010 he appeared in the hit rom-com TV series Gavin and Stacey.
Noel announced he got hitched in 2017 to his husband James.
