But Claire says there’s no chance she’ll get Charlie on stage because he’s a teenager now! But we’ll see. We keep saying we need to do it again, because Lee’s since had his baby. My kids were little, H’s were really little, and that was such a beautiful moment. We organised it quite quickly, and at Wembley we brought all the children out for It’s The Way You Make Me Feel. They were all really up for it, which was super lovely. I suggested to the band that we brought our children on stage to perform a song all together. I live in Dubai, and my children were over in the UK during the Party on the Dancefloor Tour. We're happy to serve! Looking back, what's been your favourite Steps tour moment ever? We did talk about it, and we could’ve taken a break, but because it was such a tough time we felt like we had a duty to keep going and make people feel better. We did work though all that, and it wasn’t easy, but with technology we were able to record and film videos in different countries. Honestly, we don't know any pop stars who worked harder than you lot during the pandemic. It’s lovely to be able to spread happiness like that it’s a gift. It’s been a difficult time for people, with the pandemic, and to have people put our music on and have that pure escapism and reconnect through our music’s amazing. I’d like to think we’ve put a big smile on everyone’s faces. What do you hope Steps' lasting legacy will be in years to come?

I just love the drama of Scared of the Dark. I love those dance routines, too, and the crowd go mad for them. I have Deeper Shade of Blue as my favourite from the first era, then Scared of the Dark from the new era. One For Sorrow? Or Deeper Shade of Blue, maybe? Actually, it might be Scared of the Dark. What’s your favourite, if you could only pick one? Ooh, that's hard. It’s such a lovely musical journey on this album it’s got to be one of the top pop albums for parties! We always say our music is escapism, and this album is just pure pop. When you look at the ‘new era’ of Steps, as we like to call it, it sits so well on the album with the classic Steps songs. With this collection, the post-2017 songs really stand up against the classics from Steps' first time round. I’m pleased we can still spread happiness 25 years on. It warms my heart, because it’s such a lovely position to be in to see those faces smiling back at you. To have the back catalogue that we have, and to see the reaction from the audience when we’re performing those songs that’s the bit that gets me. 25 years on, we’re releasing another album. We’re pinching ourselves right now, we didn’t expect to be having this longevity.
