On Sunday night, Cheryl celebrated her birthday on stage at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, and seized the opportunity to reflect on a comment she made in an interview 20 years ago. 

Speaking on Off The Record, an E4 documentary that aired in 2006, Cheryl is seen pulling a face when asked if she saw the band still together in the future. 

She then responded: “Can you imagine a 30-year-old singing 'I'm just a love machine?' Nah. No thanks.” 

But on stage this weekend, Cheryl was forced to eat her words - while noting she had technically kept her word.

“I'd just like to clear a little something up, you might have seen a video floating around of me saying I would never sing Love Machine in my 30s,” she told the screaming fans. 

“Ok, but if we are going to go there, last tour I was 29… today I am 41!” 

The band then kicked in to the classic track, much to the delight of fans. 

Cheryl's remark previously led Nicola to see the funny side when she playfully jabbed at her bandmate on Instagram in response to a fan comment. 

Sharing a video of the tour, one fan wrote: “'I did not expect to be back in my fangirl life at 31 years old...but I am SO here for it”

Nicola then replied: “I don't think Chez expected to be singing Love Machine past 30 but she's so here for it!” 

The two-month long reunion tour of the UK and Ireland is the group's first since the death of bandmate Sarah Harding in 2021. 

At one point during the show, the girls pay tribute to Sarah by incorporating her vocals into their hit cover of I’ll Stand By You.
