S Club's Jon Lee, 43, leaves fans swooning as he shows off incredible body transformation in shirtless snaps
The singer, 43, left famous friends and fans alike in awe as he shared before and after snaps from January this year and now after hitting the gym.
Alongside the snaps, he wrote on Instagram on Tuesday: 'I chose to make positive changes. I chose to move forward. I chose to be happy. I chose to love. I chose me.
'#health #fitness #fitnessjourney #positivity #love #change'.
He was instantly flooded with supportive comments, including from bandmate Jo O'Meara, who penned: 'Looking [fire].'
Others added: 'Jheeeeeeeez'; 'FIT!'; 'That's amazing Jon, well done!'; 'Wit woo! check you out you little hottie amazing well done! X'.
Jon soared to fame in the Nineties as part of hit group, S Club 7, performing alongside Jo, Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt and Rachel Stevens.
In 2023, the group delighted fans when they announced they would be reuniting for a tour, 20 years after they disbanded.
Yet tragedy struck later that year when Paul suddenly died from heart failure.
While the band continued with on their The Good Times Tour in Paul's honour, they performed without Hannah, who quit the group following his death.
Last month, Rachel shared how S Club 7 'grieved together' in the wake of the tragic death of their bandmate .
Speaking about how touring helped them grieve, Rachel told The Mirror : 'It was amazing to have the tour and be able to celebrate him.
'It gave us a chance to grieve and to grieve together as well, which was special, and share all our amazing memories of him. It was really healing.'
Rachel previously revealed that S Club had group therapy to help cope with the 'devastating' death of Paul.

Speaking on the Happy Place podcast, Rachel detailed how the band had therapy together to 'open conversations' and 'share memories' of Paul.
Opening up about the sessions, she told host Fearne Cotton: 'It was really good. I think talking is just the best thing ever and it can never be a bad thing.
'It opens up conversations and it helps you, it's as simple as that. It was just a really special way to celebrate him and his life, but it was just tragic.'
Rachel said there was no question the tour would not continue, but explained the experience brought her and her bandmates 'even closer together'.
She explained: 'It brought us even closer together. It was devastating but we just were together actually.
'Obviously the tour was all happening, there was no talk about it not happening but we just stopped and took a step back. We talked and we were there for each other and that's all you can do.'
The reunion tour then became a way to celebrate Paul, with the group renaming it The Good Times Tour in tribute to Paul's song Good Times on their third album.
Rachel said: 'We really wanted to just be mindful of his family and be respectful. We were talking all the time and sharing memories of him.
'The tour took on a whole different meaning and became a really beautiful tribute and celebration of him.'

Alex Reid's pals reveal 'final straw' that made him post bombshell Katie Price video
Former glamour model Katie Price has has been caught up in controversy after her ex-husband, Alex Reid, shared footage of her waving and counting a wad of cash while bankrupt Alex Reid 's friends have shared the final straw in his long-running feud with Katie Price that made him 'expose' a video of her waving a wad of cash while bankrupt. In the video, the former glamour model is seen lounging on the couch as she was "enjoying counting" the pile of money in front of her, saying: "There's loads here.. I'm just sorting it out." The star, 47, who was bankrupted twice over debts totalling more than £3m, was asked by daughter Princess if she would help pay her school fees and those of her second child with ex-husband Peter Andre. Price responded: "Your dad can sit on that' before lifting a middle finger. Wearing white jodhpurs and sat next to a Christmas tree, she continued: 'Does he go on about it a lot? Well it's tough because I'm in bankruptcy to next May now." It comes after Peter Andre's wife Emily reacts to 'cruel' Katie Price swipe in the bombshell video. Katie also refers to a property - 'my London flat' - which fans believe is the property allocated to Peter Andre as part of their divorce settlement. The footage was shared this week by Price's ex, former Big Brother star Reid, who said in a statement that 'the truth will now be heard'. The Mirror understands that the one minute and 38 second video, believed to have been filmed in late 2020, has been sent to Price's bankruptcy trustee who continues to 'seek realisations from various third parties'. Now, a close friend of Alex's has told The Sun that his final straw came when Katie defended herself amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Princess' new show, The Princess Diaries, and the details of a custody battle between Katie and her ex-husband Peter Andre. Katie's spokesperson released a statement responding to Peter's claims that Princess and Junior have been in his custody since 2018 for their safety. At the time, Katie's team said: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. "This was in the past, and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was." According to Alex's close circle, it was this statement that drove him to leak the video of Katie counting the cash. Speaking to The Sun, the insider said: "When Alex saw Peter's statement last Thursday night, he wasn't necessarily planning to come out with his own damning takedown just days later, but then there was a comment that Katie's rep released after Peter's post that literally tipped Alex over the edge and set these wheels in motion." The insider added that it was the words 'Katie is at peace' that sent Alex over the edge. "Alex read that comment that 'Katie is at peace' over and over, and he was just crushed, because he most certainly is not at peace. "It was those words that touched such a nerve for him, out of everything Katie has said, because the trauma of everything he has been through since the end of his marriage to her is still very raw. "He hasn't healed from it, and he remains a very vulnerable person. It's affected not just him, but his entire family and loved ones. He feels like Katie just washes her hands of stuff and takes no accountability - saying she is at peace feels so dismissive, hypocritical and absolutely ridiculous." Following the release of the video, Katie released a statement of her own, explaining that the cash in the video didn't belong to the Mucky Mansion star. A representative for the star said: "This is a video that was shared with Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy several months ago and Katie has fully complied with the Trustee's investigations into the same. "The cash featured did not belong to Katie and the property referred to was dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings arising out of Katie's divorce from Peter Andre. "Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy is aware of the property and has undoubtedly investigated whether the same ought to be comprised in the bankruptcy estate." The former glamour model was bankrupted twice, first in 2019 over debts totalling £3.5m, including £970,639 to HMRC and then again last March over a second £761,994 unpaid HMRC demand for money earned while she was already bankrupt. Creditors include Alex Reid who is owed £175,000 in High Court damages and costs he was awarded after she revealed a sex tape he says was filmed without his consent. Along with the leaked footage, Alex shared a statement saying he was "spearheading a campaign to expose the truth". He said: "Over the years you have seen countless stories by Katie Price directed at me, Peter, Keiran and others. Today I want to be clear. I am spearheading a campaign to expose the truth. "This isn't about gossip but about evidence. It's not about rumour, it's about reality. After years of silence, the time has finally come to reveal all." The Mirror has approached Alex's representatives for comment on this story.

Christine McGuinness breaks down in tears as she quits Celebs Go Dating as she makes vow
Christine McGuinness broke down in tears as she made the decision to leave Celebs Go Dating before filming had finished Christine McGuinness broke down in tears as she made the decision to leave the Celebs Go Dating agency just days into filming. The reality star, 37, signed up for the latest series of the E4 dating programme following her divorce from Paddy McGuinness, and while she was trying to look for love again, things did not go to plan when she flew off to Ibiza with the programme and couldn't cope with being away from her children. She told dating agent Anna Williamson and her fellow relationship expert Paul C. Brunson: "I have been thinking quite a lot while we've been in Ibiza, I need to date in a natural environment. It takes me a long time to sit in front of someone." It comes after Strictly Come Dancing's Gorka Marquez pulls out of show. Christine is mother to ten-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and seven-year-old Felicity with the former Take Me Out star, and insisted that the 'only love' she needed was the kind she has at home from her children. She said: "I've found the outside attention too much and I've found myself finding that I'm hiding more and that's not what I want. I've found the outside attention too much and I've found myself finding that I'm hiding more and that's not what I want." Through tears, she added: "I thought 'Just rip the Band-Aid off' but I want to decide how much I want to share publicly. I've been missing the kids loads this week and all the love I need is waiting for me at home. I know I've only been here for a few days but I just need a cuddle from my kids." Things had not been looking too hopeful for Christine, as, earlier in the episode she was seen having a heart-to-heart with S Club 7 star Jon Lee. She told him: "You seem a bit more excited about having more dates whereas I'm petrified because I feel very unexperienced. The one date I've done, I don't know if I was a good date or not, I've got no idea." Despite the heartbreak, Christine admitted in a confessional that the reality show has made it clear about what she wants from her love life going forward. She said: "These last few days in Ibiza have confirmed for me that I just need to take things a little bit slower. "I am ready to date and I am excited about meeting somebody in the future but right now I need to do things in baby steps." Last week, the former Real Housewives star headed on a date in Ibiza with Leanne. Christine and Leanne met during the first mixer, but it seemed like the mum of three was out of her depth. Viewers saw Christine struggle to make a decision on who to take to Ibiza from the mixer, revealing that she hated letting people down. Christine's date didn't hold back, getting straight into the deep questions, by asking: "How are you finding this, dating in general?" "I haven't dated an awful lot," the model replied. Emotionally opening up, Christine added: "I was married for a long time. It took me a while to even think about spending time with anyone." The occasional Loose Women panellist, who has dated women since her divorce, continued: "The women that I've spent time with in the last couple of years, I already knew them. So I didn't have that anxiety," she laughed as the pair spoke about how daunting dating could be. Leanne is also a mother of three, as she told her date that she was having "me time" away in Ibiza. Do you feel okay about it?" Christine asked, as Leanne confirmed she did. "Me too," Christine continued. "I think I carried mum guilt for far too long. Every now and then, it creeps back in." As Christine's first date at the agency came to a close, she told the camera "it went really, really well," and gushed about how Leanne made her feel comfortable. The feelings were mutual with Leanne, as she told the cameras she wanted to go on another date, although Christine wasn't sure whether the connection could grow into anything deeper. It came after Christine opened up to celebrity dating agents Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson about her split from ex-husband, Paddy McGuinness in 2022. "Anyone can make mistakes but I think the trust was broken," she explained. "I'll always love him, he's the father of my children and I think he's the only man that I'll ever love," she said. "A lot of people make mistakes and mess up, and when you're in a couple who is quite well known in the industry, obviously then everyone knows your business. He was getting a really, really difficult time in the press," she continued - although she didn't expand on the 'mistakes'.

Katie Price and boyfriend JJ Slater clash in new video promoting 'Turkey teeth'
Katie Price and JJ clashed on camera while promoting their new veneers. Katie Price, having been the centre of several scandals lately, clashed with her boyfriend JJ Slater in their latest online video, where they promoted their new veneers. Katie, 47, and the MAFS star, 32, were promoting Triodent's veneers after they recently headed off to Turkey together. During the clip, Katie took the lead in promoting the veneers and said she was giving out a huge discount, before JJ jumped in and emphasised how 'huge' the discount was, reported The Mirror. Katie said: 'Well, you don't have to go over the top'. The couple clashed again at the end of the video, where JJ said the discount was from 'Us to you', as Katie then said: 'From me to you'. JJ then looked surprisingly at Katie and then corrected her to 'Us', to which she replied: 'Alright' and sighed. It comes after Katie released a statement regarding her ex Alex Reid's leaked bombshell cash counting video. The video of the reality star couple follows after Katie recently showed off her brand-new face after going under the knife for another round of cosmetic surgery. The mum-of-five was spotted in Istanbul last week with her face heavily bandaged following her latest procedure. After forking out a whopping £10,000 on a facelift earlier this year, Katie has had a string of more procedures, including a lip lift correction, brow lift, and a new eye lift as part of her ongoing transformation. A plastic surgeon and Senior Medical Director at CREO previously spoke to The Mirror about the dangers of having too many surgeries and cosmetic procedures. He issued a warning about the risks involved with surgery, saying: "Repeated surgeries can lead to scar tissue build-up, nerve damage, and skin thinning, which may complicate future procedures.' It comes after Katie is at the centre of an alleged new legal row with her exes, as Alex Reid leaked a video of her counting a wad of cash while bankrupt. The footage was shared yesterday by Alex, who said in a statement that 'the truth will now be heard'. Following the release of the video, Katie released a statement of her own, explaining that the cash in the video didn't belong to the Mucky Mansion star. Katie was declared bankrupt twice, first in 2019 over debts totalling £3.5m, including £970,639 to HMRC and then again last March over a second £761,994 unpaid HMRC demand for money earned while she was already bankrupt. Peter Andre has also reportedly called his lawyers following the release of the video, where Katie deemed his kids with his wife Emily 'irrelevant'. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
