The group are also famed for giving sexually-charged performances.

At a recent Belfast concert, Miss Harding straddled half-naked dancers and panted at fans: "Are all your fantasies coming true?"

During their Tangled Up tour the fab five began have begun each show suspended 12ft above the stage in superhero capes and clingy black Spandex bondage gear.

And Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Miss Harding all take turns to writhe with scantily-clad male dancers.
