Popstars: The Rivals – where are they now?

While still a member of Girls Aloud, Cheryl started a solo career and released number one tracks like Fight For This Love and Promise This. She was actually the first British female solo artist to have five number one singles. In 2008, Cheryl became a judge on The X Factor until 2011 before returning in 2014 and 2015. More recently, Cheryl has appeared as a judge on The Greatest Dancer. Her personal life has also been pretty busy with two husbands (Ashley Cole and Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini - remember him?) and a short-lived relationship with One Direction's Liam Payne, with whom she had a son Bear. Phew!

Nadine released her first solo track Insatiable in 2010 before disappearing from the music scene for a while and had a baby with her former fiancé Jason Bell in 2014. Then in 2017, Nadine was back with an EP titled Nadine that reached Number One on the iTune charts. Most recently, she appeared on our screens in 2019 on ITV's I'm a Celeb, eventually coming in fifth place.

During Girls Aloud's initial hiatus, Sarah took up acting appearing in St Trinian's 2, Run for Your Wife and Coronation Street. Since then she's turned her hand to reality TV appearing in Celebrity Masterchef, The Jump and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017 (which she went on to win). In August 2020, Sarah was sadly diagnosed with breast cancer that had advanced to other parts of her body. In March 2021, she announced that her diagnosis was terminal and that she'd be unlikely to "see another Christmas". In September 2021, Sarah sadly died aged 39 after losing her battle with cancer. Alongside a candid photo of Sarah, Sarah's mum said, "It's with deep heartbreak that today I'm sharing the news that my beautiful daughter Sarah has sadly passed away. Many of you will know of Sarah's battle with cancer and that she fought so strongly from her diagnosis until her last day. She slipped away peacefully this morning. I'd like to thank everyone for their kind support over the past year."It meant the world to Sarah and it gave her great strength and comfort to know she was loved. I know she won't want to be remembered for her fight against this terrible disease – she was a bright shining star and I hope that's how she can be remembered instead - Marie x."

Unlike many of the other members of Girls Aloud, Kimberley didn't embark on a solo singing career once the group split and instead turned her hand to presenting and acting. Kimberley made her West End debut in 2011 playing Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical and most recently appeared in series two of Channel 4's Ackley Bridge. In 2012, she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and ended up in second place. She's also had a pretty busy personal life marrying her long-term partner Justin Scott in 2016, with whom she has three sons, the youngest of which was born in 2021.

Not only is Nicola the winner of the first series of The Masked Singer UK, she's also the reason why under-18s are banned from using tanning beds which increase the likelihood of skin cancer for their users. Nicola also released a solo album titled Cinderella's Eyes which peaked at number 17 on the UK albums chart and the catchy single Beat of my Drum (listen now if you haven't ever heard it).

After the One True Voice disbanded, Matt signed a solo contract with Jive Records but eventually left and joined his own label Tristar Records in 2013. In 2016, he released the single Get Over You but we'll be honest, he doesn't seem to have done that much recently. An Instagram deep dive has revealed that Matt has two young sons Elvie and Huwie with his wife Laura.

In 2006, Anton attempted to relaunch his music career and auditioned for The X Factor but failed to make it through the preliminary round. He has however since released tracks under the name Anton Romero including the absolute bop Hot Romance. Whilst he's not currently big on Instagram, he regularly releases song clips on his TikTok if you're curious to see what he looks like now.

After One True Voice split, Keith embarked on a solo career before becoming the lead singer of Chicago-based rock band 7th Heaven in 2006. In 2015, Keith auditioned for series nine of The Voice as part of Team Adam but was eliminated after the Top 24 round. He is now a member of the band SEMPLE and a father to two gorgeous girls.

Jamie, the Welsh member of the band, released his solo single Different in 2006 and actually supported the Backstreet Boys when they toured the UK. In 2014, Jamie turned his hand to television and for a while he worked as an Executive Publicity Assistant for the BBC. His Instagram is full of adorable pictures of his baby girl Mila-Rose and it seems he's a keen events photographer.

Daniel has probably had the most successful music career of One True Voice since Popstars: The Rivals having had a career as Dizzee Rascal's backing singer and founding the funk, rock and soul band Shuffler. It may also surprise you to know that Daniel provided the lead vocals for Sigma's hit summer track Nobody to Love in 2014. He's not an avid poster on Instagram but we will say that he looks exactly the same as he did in 2002.

Despite not getting into Girls Aloud, Javine has had a string of solo singles including Real Thing which debuted at at Number 4 on the UK Singles' Chart. In late 2003, she opened for US rapper Nelly on the UK leg of his international tour. Most recently, Javine appeared on our TV screens in 2012 as a contestant on Celebrity Masterchef. With regards to her person life, Javine gave birth to baby number three in 2021. She already has a daughter named Angel and a son named Xander.

Four of the girls who didn't make it into Girls Aloud (Chloe Staines, Lynsey Brown, Emma Beard and Aimee Kearsley) decided to join together to from the girl band Clea. Although they didn't have the success of their rivals, their first single Download It reached Number 21 on the UK charts. Aimee went on to join another group The Code who supported The Wanted on their UK tour and is now a music producer. Chloe now lives in Vancouver, Canada and occasionally releases music. Emma works in PR and has two adorable children. As for Lynsey... we have no idea...

While the girls formed Clea, the boys who didn't make the cut (Andrew Kinlochan, Chris Park, Mikey Green, Peter Smith, and Nikk Mager) became Phixx. Between 2003 and 2005 they had four top 20 singles but then split. Now, in 2021, Andrew still works as a singer/songwriter, Chris turned his hand to presenting, Mikey is now part of the rock band Pentasonic and appeared on Channel 5's The Farm, Peter has moved to Barcelona and Nikk still performs every now and again and is the proud parent of two adorable dogs.
