2000s boy band became unrecognizable years after chart success with Big Brother legend

Boy band NOUGHTIES lads now look completely different after scoring chart success with a Big Brother legend.

The British group, famous for hits such as Run For Your Life and All Around The World, formed in 1998.

The hitmakers were originally Lee Baldry, Dan Corsi, Andy Love, Ian Mason and Michael Sharpe.

But it was later, after some line-up changes, that the former Big brother Season eight stars Ziggy Lichman and Warren Morris joined the group.

They released three singles and one album, called Love On The Northern Line, which was also a single.

The group even toured with 5,6,7,8 hitmakers Steps in 2000 during their Steptacular tour.

At the time, fresh-faced singers often wore matching outfits – worn open to show off their rippling abs – with perfectly coiffed hair.

Singer Lee Baldry – who has carved out a career as a TV presenter, hospitality and business consultant since his pop fame – now has a completely different face.

The entrepreneur recently starred in Rylan’s new reality seriesMessy hot summer.

While the 45-year-old has kept the same ripped physique, he has now opted for a glowing tan and a close-cropped silver hairstyle.

Meanwhile, Dan Corsi changed jobs to become a DJ – with a few models and comedians thrown in for good measure.

He also replaced his dark locks with a neatly cut silver hairstyle.

Dan, now 50, also opted for a mustache and stubble for a cool, rugged look.

He can often be found DJing at events in London, including at trendy restaurants Gilgamesh and Sintillate.

BACK TO REALITY

Meanwhile, Dan recently opened up about life after the band’s huge fame.

Speaking about the post-2000 aftermath, he described his life story and said: “Getting married, having kids, being a DJ, being a model.

“I lived in Japan for a little while – I really did a little bit of everything.

“After Northern Line I went back to a normal life to be honest.”

He added to the website cantstopthepop.com: “When you start, they tell you that you are the best thing ever and that it’s going to be amazing.

“You’re young, you’re given money, girls, cars, drink, drugs – you just don’t think that one day you’ll wake up with nothing.

“I was a little older than some of the others, but I still went into it thinking it would never end.

“We were going to be like Take That, have millions of pounds and never work properly again.

“I thought we would all end up in a big mansion somewhere throwing pool parties for the rest of our lives.”

BIG BROTHER POSTER

Ziggy, now 43, has also carved out a successful career after Northern Line.

During the 2007 season of Big Brother, he found romance at home with fellow actor Chanelle Hayes and rose to fame on the small screen.

After making the most of the London party circuit, Ziggy suited up for a few naughty magazine shoots before settling into more normal jobs.

He worked as a doorman at Paper Soho and supervised Favela Rocks.

Ziggy has also tried his hand at running several restaurants in London, including a pan-Asian restaurant called The Shop NW10 in Kensal Rise.

He teamed up with Emily In Paris actor Lucien Laviscount to run the restaurant, and in 2018 the pair ran a soup kitchen out of the venue to raise awareness about the homeless.
