But the group, put together by member Jenny Frost, who later replaced Kerry Katona on Atomic Kitten, was dropped by their record label when their debut album failed to chart.

After going their separate ways, the ladies, which also included Sophie McDonnell, Anya Lahiri, Louise Rose and Kalli Clark-Sternberg, attempted to pursue solo careers.

But nowadays Anya is completely unrecognizable and has chosen a completely different career.

She works as Barry’s bootcamp instructor and regularly posts snaps of her intense workouts on Instagram.

Anya also hosts fitness podcast The Red Room alongside Sandy Macaskill.

Before turning to fitness, she moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to break into Hollywood as an actress and model.

But a year later, Anya returned to the UK and got a five-part role in the Sky football drama Dream Team.

The Eurovision Grand Final 2023 takes place on Saturday 13th May.

The semi-finals before the big night will take place on Tuesday 9th May and Thursday 11th May.
