It appears the members of B*Witched and 5ive battled it out in more than just chart positions.
The iconic groups were rivals in the noughties, with the C’est La Vie stars and Keep On Movin’ singers both popular for their brand of upbeat pop.
Now B*Witched are back with new music as they celebrate the 25th anniversary of C’est La Vie –– and they’re reflecting on their journey so far.
Made up of twin sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch, along with Sinéad O’Carroll and Lindsay Armaou, the group partied with and , and toured with the likes of .
It wasn’t all smooth sailing however, as Edele revealed one band wasn’t the greatest fans of theirs: rival band 5ive.
‘They used to be really horrible to us,’ she told Vicky Pattison on her The Secret To podcast.
‘We’d be in the dressing room next door and they’d be throwing their beer over, bottles and everything, like oh my God!’
‘If you’re looking for wild stories just give them a shout,’ she added.
Despite their less-than-ideal relationship, she still praised the group, admitting 5ive had ‘great songs.’
Elsewhere Edele, joined on the podcast by Sinéad, spoke about how they often turned down the opportunity to party with some of the world’s biggest celebs as they wanted to focus on the music without burning out.
‘We loved what we did, we were working 18 hours a day – putting partying on top of that we wouldn’t be able to sustain it,’ she explained.
While B*Witched split in 2002, the band regrouped in 2013 on ITV2 reality series The Big Reunion and have .
B*Witched last released a cover single in 2019, but in celebrating 25 years since their debut have created brand new song Birthday – and are hoping to go on a headline tour very soon.
Lindsay revealed in a recent interview with Metro.co.uk that the band would ‘love to do our own tour again.’
‘That would be great,’ she added. ‘It’s definitely something on the agenda we’d love to look at in the next year or two.’
