Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton caught up in Whole Again 'bathroom sing-0ff'
Natasha Hamilton got caught up in a 'Whole Again' "bathroom sing-off" at a gig. The 42-year-old Atomic Kitten singer, who has performed solo at many festivals over the years, needed to go to the toilet at one event, and when she opened the bathroom door, she burst out laughing when she was greeted by "15 people" singing the 90s girl band's most popular track at the "top of their voice". Natasha told Scott McGlynn on 'Celebrity Skin Talk': "There's so much nostalgia around Atomic Kitten. A lot of people, now when they're out and they hear it, it just takes them back to their youth. "When I get to do these gigs, and I have the privilege of singing Atomic Kitten songs, it's always an incredible crowd, everyone's got their arms around each other, they're back in Y2K, living their best young life. "So - that nice as well, I went to the bathroom, I went to the toilet, and as I opened the door, there's about 15 people singing 'Whole Again' at the top of their voice. Like having a bathroom sing-off. It was quite funny. "So, yeah, good times." 'Whole Again' sold over 1 million copies in the UK - making it the fourth best-selling single by a girl group of all time, after the Spice Girls' songs, 'Wannabe' and '2 Become 1' and 'Never Ever' by All Saints. According to Natasha, the song was placed in the "Guinness Book of World Records" for "increasing sales week-by-week". The star said: "If you were to go down the statistics route, it's one of the biggest-selling girl band songs of the 21st century. It smashed records in sales. "It ended up in the Guinness Book of World Records for increasing sales week-by-week, and the person to do that - previous to us having that accomplishment, the last person to do it was Michael Jackson." And Natasha - who also told Scott that she would "love" to reunite with Liz McClarnon, 44, and Jenny Frost, 47, who replaced Kerry Katona, 44, after she left Atomic Kitten in 2001, one day, but does not think working with Kerry would happen again - said she will never get tired of singing the much-loved song, and is excited to see what happens with 'Whole Again' in the future. She said: "The song is mammoth, it's huge. It's just one of them songs that never gets old, never gets boring and continuously just breathes a life of its own. "It was reimagined in the world of football, it became 'Gareth Southgate You're the One' and you think, why are all these men in pubs watching football, singing an Atomic Kitten song from 25 years ago? But, somehow, it just worked. "Who knows what will happen with it next!" Follow Scott McGlynn on Instagram - @scottmcglynnofficial - to watch his 'Celebrity Skin Talk' show.

Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton had skin cancer in 2024
Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2024. The 42-year-old singer had a Basal-cell carcinoma removed from her back after an itchy red mole was spotted following a holiday, and Natasha has now described the health scare as a "massive wake-up call". The 'Whole Again' hitmaker - who thinks the skin cancer stemmed from her days of using sunbeds in the 90s - told Scott McGlynn on 'Celebrity Skin Talk': "I actually had skin cancer last year. I had a Basal-cell carcinoma removed from my back, and it was a massive wake-up call for me. It was like, 'Oh.' "I have burnt my back so much over the years, and I used sunbeds when I was younger, you know, back in the 90s, it was like everyone used a sunbed before you went on your night out on a Saturday, and the repercussions of that is now I have to be super vigilant in the sun, like I need to have my high factors on, I can't be burning. I have to check my skin religiously for changes in like moles and freckles. "And, you know, there have been things since then that have come up, and I've had to go and have a look, you know, the microscope on and keeping an eye on a few things. "So, like a massive wake-up call, and I'm just a big advocate now - get your SPF on! Protect your skin!" Natasha's health scare has made her realise she's "not invincible". The singer - who is now cancer-free - said: "I'm fine, honestly. It was found, it was cut away and, yeah, we move on. But it was a, kind of, 'Oh, I'm not invincible moment.' "These things do happen to you sometimes, and you've just got to look after yourself." Natasha now fears for "young girls and boys" who use sunbeds, and she's actually calling for them to be banned in the UK. The pop star said: "Even though it's 18 or over, you're still a kid. You still don't understand the consequences. "So, yeah, I would call for them to be banned, but that's probably not a popular opinion - but it's mine!"

'I starred in last episode of Gavin & Stacey – and learnt one thing about cast'
'I starred in last episode of Gavin & Stacey – and learnt one thing about cast' An actor who starred in the last ever episode of Gavin & Stacey has revealed what the cast was really like to work with. Scott McGlynn, 37, was an extra in the unforgettable episode Scott McGlynn had a minor role in the final ever episode (Image: scottmcglynnofficial/Instagram ) While hearts were breaking across the world at Christmas when the final ever episode of Gavin & Stacey aired, one actor's dream came true. This is because he bagged a role in the show. After 17 years of waiting, we finally got to learn the outcome of Smithy (James Corden) and Nessa's (Ruth Jones) love story, and it certainly didn't disappoint. It was all the more special for Scott McGlynn, 37, who was an extra in the unforgettable episode, and he said the experience was like no other. It's clear his time with the cast will always hold a special place in his heart, and he looks back on the time fondly. Who could forget working with Nessa, after all? As the Welsh sitcom is nominated at the TV Baftas on May 11, it seems like the perfect time to take a trip down memory lane. Scott revealed exactly what it was like to work with the cast during the last ever episode. The actor actually grew up in Barry Island (Image: scottmcglynnofficial/Instagram ) Article continues below Scott said: "It was incredible to work with so much talent - the creativity in the room was a buzz and you could feel it. Joanna Page was just a sweetheart going around being so kind and complimenting everyone's outfits. "I was with Russell Tovey, which was insane to even stand next to him. He's an incredible actor, and I've been watching him since I was a teenager. It was great - emotional moments too. "We celebrated Ruth's birthday on set, which was lovely to be a part of. She was feeding me the cake." Earlier this year, fans couldn't get over the fact that the The Finale didn't receive many nominations for the Bafta TV Awards, even though the episode pulled in a record 19.3million viewers. Following much hype, the much-loved BBC comedy saw Ruth Jones, 58, nominated for her performance of "Nessa" in a comedy category. As well as this, the show has also been nominated in the publicly-voted Memorable Moment category. Gavin and Stacey came to an end last year (Image: BBC ) Viewers praised Mick (Larry Lamb) during the moment he stood up to show he thought it was an awful idea for Smithy to marry Sonia (Laura Aikman). The moment had comedy viewers in tears on Christmas Day last year. Even though the sitcom only receieved two nominations at the big bash, Gavin & Stacey fans are keeping their fingers crossed for the cast. As for Scott, he's just delighted he got to be a part of the show - for a very special reason. Describing what it was like to be a part of the final ever episode, Scott added: "Being a part of Gavin and Stacey was incredibly special to me, especially because I grew up in Barry. My dad was a huge fan of the show too - he loved everything about it. Article continues below "Sadly, we lost him suddenly last year - a few months before filming, and getting the chance to be a part of the Christmas special felt like I was doing it for him. He would've been so proud. "It was surreal to step onto a set with iconic characters who I grew up with since the first episode - it was giving me family vibes on set. It was an emotional and unforgettable experience for everyone creating this amazing episode."
