Where the Popstars The Rivals acts are now - Girls Aloud, One True Voice, Javine and more
A host of new singers burst onto the noughties music scene 20 years ago when Popstars: The Rivals aired on ITV.
Girls Aloud Cheryl Tweedy In Cheryl’s audition for Popstars: The Rivals, she sang S Club 7’s 2001 track Have You Ever, to judges Geri Haliwell, Louis Walsh and Pete Waterman and went straight through to the next round. Whilst still in the band, Cheryl joined The X Factor as a judge in 2008, just as the girls geared up to release their fifth album Out of Control and after she collaborated with Will.I.Am on massive chart hit Heartbreaker.
Away from the charts, Cheryl married Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini in 2014 but divorced a year later. Cheryl, now 39, then got together with Liam Payne, with the couple having son Bear together, before they split in 2018. Cheryl was last on TV in the second series of The Greatest Dancer in 2020, before the show was cancelled. Away from music and TV, she leads a fairly private life.
In the early 00s, Nadine also moved stateside to LA and with her family opened an Irish pub in Sunset Beach. Many will remember Nadine also famously dated Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe. Prior to her stint in CBB, Sarah appeared in Ghost the Musical, in one of the leading roles alongside ex Hollyoaks actor Andy Moss. In 2020, Sarah revealed the devastating news that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
Another Girls Aloud member who gave music another shot, Kimberley teamed up with Aggro Santos on top 10 hit Like U Like in 2012, before releasing her own album of musical classics - Centre Stage - which she previewed with a performance of One Day I'll Fly Away at the National Television Awards.
In between Girls Aloud taking a break in 2009 and them returning with Something New and their Greatest Hits in 2012, Nicola entered the charts as a solo artist with debut single Beat Of My Drum, follow up Lucky Day and critically acclaimed solo album Cinderella's Eyes. Anton went onto audition for The X Factor in 2006, but it was never seen on screen. Now going by Anton Romero, he often pleases fans by taking on their song requests and shares incredible singing clips on social media.
Jamie switched from music to TV and his Twitter bio has him as an Executive Production Assistant for IJPR, a PR agency who handle shows on BBC ITV Netflix and more. The dad-of-one found his own success when the band parted ways, and in 2006 he supported US band the Backstreet Boys on tour in the UK and also became an executive publicity assistant for the BBC's Doctor Who.
It was Javine who triumphed with her track Touch My Fire but it finished right near the bottom of the leaderboard in the Eurovision final. Javine later hit headlines for being 'the other woman' in So Solid Crew star Harvey and Alesha Dixon's marriage. Aimee, from Southport, also joined band Fanfair and supported The Wanted at the ECHO arena and fellow band mates Chloe and Lynsey have continued with their love of singing. In October, the band announced they were reuniting, with their first performance in 18 years together as a four piece band to debut in 2023.
