Faye Tozer looked radiant as she gave her first TV interview since her split from husband of 16 years - but H stole the show with a jaw-dropping reveal about his famous blond hair.
Pop group Steps appeared on Tuesday's instalment of Lorraine to chat about Here & Now - The Steps Musical with host Lorraine Kelly, 65.
The band - who is made up of Faye, Ian "H" Watkins, Lee Latchford-Evans, Claire Richards and Lisa Scott-Lee - looked seriously chic for their telly appearance.
Faye looked incredible in a pink sheer shirt, white trousers and pink open toe heels.
She opted for a natural glamorous make-up look and styled her blonde locks into loose curls.
The singer failed to discuss her husband Mick Smith's relationship after sparking fears for their 16-year marriage after posting a cryptic post about his heartbreak.

Meanwhile Ian AKA H raised some eyebrows when he made a shocking revelation about his locks.
Right at the start of the interview, Lorraine praised the band for their co-ordinated outfits, with all of them wearing pink.
She turned to H and said: 'Well, you go without saying!'
Claire confessed: 'We're calling him Simon today. He's got his Simon Cowell glasses on.'
H added: 'They are rose-tinted.'
Lorraine told him: 'I'm loving the hair!'
H clapped back: 'None of it is real,' leaving the host open-mouthed and his bandmates in stitches of laughter.
It comes after the band took to the Britain's Got Talent stage to open the show.
The group performed with the cast of their new musical, Here & Now, which is based on the band's biggest songs.
The jukebox musical follows the workers and customers of a seaside superstore and is packed full of tunes from the group's back catalogue, which includes 14 consecutive UK top five singles.
Taking to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes snaps from their BGT show, Ian posted a snap of the band together in a lift, looking incredible in matching black and sparkly outfits.
Captioning the glamorous shot, he wrote: 'Serving @bgt realness. Shoutout to our glam squad'.
Ian also filmed a video of the group backstage addressing their fans, as he began: 'Hi, we're Steps and we are super excited to be opening BGT tonight.'
Claire took over to add: 'We are going to be performing with the cast of our brand new musical, Here & Now.'
Lisa continued: 'So, tune in from 7pm. It's gonna be a party!' before Ian signed off: 'See you soon!'
Fans were thrilled to see the group together, writing: 'OMG cannot wait for this'; 'We missed you so much'; 'Yay! My favourite 5 people on the planet together again'.
While even Rylan Clark couldn't hide his excitement, commenting on the post with a string of heart-eyed emojis.
Steps ruled the charts after forming in 1997, with mega-hits such as Tragedy, 5, 6, 7, 8, and Deeper Shade Of Blue, before parting ways in 2001.
The fivesome reunited in 2011 and then again in 2017 in celebration of their 20th anniversary, going onto release their fifth album, Tears on the Dancefloor.
Here & Now was written by Shaun Kitchener and is produced by the band themselves in collaboration with theatre company ROYO and music mogul Pete Waterman.
Announcing the project in January last year, the group said: 'We've been lucky to do many things together as a band, but the question we get asked again and again is "where is the Steps musical?" Well…it's finally here and we couldn't be more excited.
'We've searched for the perfect story for our music and we've found it in the aisle of a seaside superstore where four friends set out on their own Summer of Love.
'It's a story of friendship, romance and community; packed with our biggest hits and sure to have everybody laughing, crying and dancing in the aisles. We can't wait to open the doors this year, and see you there!'
Fans went wild for the announcement, with one quipping on X: 'Not getting a ticket would be a Tragedy.'
The musical follows in the footsteps of other jukebox musicals such as Greatest Days, which is based on Take That's songs, and ABBA's global smash hit Mamma Mia which is the sixth longest-running show in West End history.

Dani Dyer parties into the early hours after Bridgerton themed wedding in a racy lace mini as father of the bride Danny kicks off the reception with rude West Ham anthem
Love Island star Dani Dyer married West Ham ace Jarrod Bowen on Saturday in a lavish stately home ceremony surrounded by their celeb pals. And after the Bridgeton themed ceremony, it was time for the couple to let their hair down at a raucous reception. The bride spent Sunday reposting stunning social media snaps from her friends and family who gathered at the luxury five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire for the big day. After wowing in a £10,000 designer gown by Suzanne Neville for the ceremony, Dani changed into a stunning lace mini dress with new photos showing the beaming bride dancing late into the night. The fun was kicked off by father of the bride Danny Dyer who led a wedding breakfast chant of the rude West Ham anthem, 'Bowen's on fire and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer,' to the 1997 hit Freed from Desire. TOWIE star Georgia Kousoulou shared photos on Instagram as she shared drinks and the dancefloor with Dani. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Dani looked incredible in her second dress, whilst Georgia wowed in a custom baby blue gown. Speaking on her joint podcast with her dad Danny Dyer, Dani revealed she was keeping her first wedding dress a surprise from her dad until the big day to honour a special tradition. 'Have you not seen that first look when the dad sees their daughter in their dress and that? Oh, it's lovely,' she shared. 'Yeah, your dad's not meant to see it – it's a moment for the dad as well!' The wedding took place at the five star Langley Hotel, which sits on the estate of the third Duke of Marlborough, in former royal hunting grounds. Since the nuptials, Dani has shared a slew of snaps and videos across her socials, including one sweet image of her children, son Santiago, four, who she shares with ex Sammy Kimmence, and twins Summer and Star, two, who she shares with Jarrod, glancing out the window, while their grandfather Danny Dyer watched on. Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters were flower girls, with her son and brother Arty, 11, as page boys. Her sister Sunnie was one of six bridesmaids, who all wowed in matching one shoulder pink dresses. Sunnie, 18, also had a role during the ceremony as she read a poem from Sex and The City's wedding scene, which went: 'His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. 'His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do'.' Dani has had a whirlwind few months, filled with two lavish hen parties and all the excitement of getting ready for her big day. Speaking to Heat magazine earlier this week, Dani said: 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever - that's the only thing I've not enjoyed.' Dani also revealed she will take on a double-barrell surname after the wedding, becoming Dyer-Bowen. She said: 'I am going to keep the Dyer - I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.'
