They had a string of top ten hits in 2004 before disbanding.
The band reunited as a four piece last year to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
They played at Mighty Hoopla in London and teased new music.
However just months later they have split again, and Kevin McDaid, who once was engaged to Westlife's Mark Feehily, is now working as a personal trainer - with a very niche offering.
He is offering fans hour-long sessions in the buff at a private London gym for £250.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Kevin, who is also a photographer, said alongside a naked photo of him lifting weights: "Who's booking in for your naked PT session this week?"
The boyband comprised of five members with Kevin, Mark Harle, Leon Pisani, Antony Brant and Aaron Buckingham.
Last year two members reunited and stripped down to speedos to enjoy a sun soaked holiday together.
Kevin and Aaron beamed for holiday pictures shared to Instagram, as they showed their friendship was still going strong.
Aaron shared a series of pictures of the pair including some of the lads topless enjoying the sunshine.

In one picture Aaron struck a pensive pose, staring into the distance in just a pair of board shorts.
Former bandmate Leon is also still close with the pair, who despite not being on the holiday commented on the picture adding "My boys".
Post band, V have gone on to very different careers after leaving the music industry.
Former bandmate Mark moved into the TV and film industry and has worked as an art assistant on TV series including Ghost Loop.
Leon has traded music for mortgages and is now a mortgage company owner and living in West Wales.
Aaron has stayed close to his music roots in becoming a songwriter for Spotify.
Despite the band splitting in 2005, they did reform for fans in 2023 without Harle and instead making up a four piece.
