Inside JLS bandmates mind-boggling fleet of supercars – including Marvin’s £175k Mercedes & Aston’s £87k Audi R8
POP group JLS shot to fame on the X Factor before releasing five UK number one hit singles.
The band - made up of Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes, and JB Gill - have sold out arenas across the UK during various tours between 2009 and 2021.
At one point they were the UK's biggest boyband - until one day they announced they were splitting.
But away from their vocals and performances, the quartet have another love - for fancy motors.
The singers were quick to snap up a range of sports cars following their success on TV - a trend that has continued as JLS' popularity has remained sky-high.
Marvin Humes
Shortly after JLS' success on X Factor, he rewarded himself with a £157,000 jet black Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG equipped with winged doors.

He was seen driving the supercar to a recording studio in 2011, when the band were at the height of their fame.
More recently, Marvin has been seen alongside his wife Rochelle driving a white Mercedes SLS and a silver G-Wagon.
The couple have also been pictured driving a red Mercedes SLS, too.
Aston Merrigold
Following their rise to prominence on the ITV talent show, Aston was driving an white Audi R8 with a personalised number plate.

The then 23-year-old pulled up to a recording studio in the £87,000 sports car in 2011.
More recently he has been seen driving a blue Audi R8 and a matte black Audi R9.
In December 2020, he posed with his BMW 330e Plug-in Hybrid in a Facebook post.
He said: "This is the car I wanted, but this is the car Grayson told me to get.
"Been loving using the @bmwuk 330e Plug-in Hybrid! There’s nothing better than setting a good example for the kids by driving a more environmentally conscious car."
He also recently purchased a Range Rover Sport, which featured in the BBC series Yianni: Supercar Customiser in February 2019.
It followed how Aston, a "big fan of wraps" had worked with the vehicle modifier on a number of motors.
Oritsé Williams
Oritsé was first seen driving a black Mercedes jeep as post-X Factor life got underway.
But more recently, his Instagram includes a number of stories posing on Harley Davidson motorcycles.
He also purchases a Smart Car Roadster for £7,000, praising it in an interview with MailOnline as "efficient, practical, cheap on petrol and small enough to fit into any parking gap in central London".
Oritsé has also been seen driving a white Mercedes in recent years.
JB Gill
As Marvin pulled up to a recording studio in a jet black Mercedes SLS, JB parked alongside in a racing red version of the same model.

He recently revealed the first car he ever bought outright was a £43,000 black E-class Mercedes in 2010.
He now has a rather different career to the music industry, though, having opted for a quiet life on a Kent farm with his family.
