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

Yet it was later on, following a few line-up changes, when former Big Brother season eight star Ziggy Lichman and Warren Morris joined the group.

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

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

At the time, the fresh-faced singers often donned matching outfits - worn open to flash their rippling abs - with perfectly-styled hair.

Singer Lee Baldry - who has carved out a career as a TV broadcaster, hospitality and business consultant since pop fame - now looks completely different.

The entrepreneur recently starred in Rylan's new reality TV series, Hot Mess Summer.

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

Meanwhile, Dan Corsi has switched his job to be a DJ - with some modelling and acting thrown in for good measure.

He also switched up his dark locks for close-cut silver hairstyle.

Dan, now 50, has also opted for a stubbled moustache and beard for a cool, rugged look.

He can often be found DJ'ing at events in London, including at trendy eateries Gilgamesh and Sintillate.

BACK TO REALITY

Meanwhile, Dan recently opened up on life after the band's huge fame.

Talking of the aftermath post-2000 he laid out his life history and said: "Getting married, having children, DJing, modelling.

"I lived in Japan for a little while – I’ve done a little bit of everything really.

"After Northern Line, I went back to a normal-ish life to be honest."

He added to website cantstopthepop.com: "When you start, you’re told you’re the best thing ever and 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’re going to wake up with nothing.

"I was a little bit older than some of the others, but I still went into it thinking it wouldn’t ever end.

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

"I thought we’d all end up in a big mansion somewhere having pool parties for the rest of our lives."

POST BIG BROTHER

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

During the 2007 season of Big Brother, he found romance in the house with fellow contestant Chanelle Hayes as well as rocketing to small screen fame.

After making the most of the London party circuit, Ziggy got his kit off for a few saucy magazine shoots before settling down into more normal jobs.

He worked as a doorman at Paper Soho as well as overseeing Favela Rocks.

Ziggy also tried his hand at running several eateries 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 eatery and, in 2018, the pair ran a soup kitchen out of the venue to raise awareness for homelessness.
