All Saints’ Melanie Blatt and Nicole Appleton give it some bump and grind on stage at the V Festival

The girls certainly seemed happy to be back together again!

ALL Saints stars Melanie Blatt and Nicole Appleton put on a less than angelic display at the V Festival today as they showed off some sexy dance moves.

The girls bumped and twerked against each other as they performed for the crowd at Weston Park in Staffordshire on the first day of the weekend festival.

Melanie and Nicole, both 41, bumped bottom and pelvis as they performed one of their new songs along with band mates Natalie Appleton, 43, and Shaznay Lewis, 40.

And they were clearly just having a laugh as the pair hugged and laughed after the routine.

 They saw nothing wrong with a little bit of bump and grind!

All four looked happy to be back together as they took to the stage this afternoon ahead of their reunion tour later this year.

And they left the younger performers to flash the flesh as all four came onto the stage looked smart but sexy monochrome outfits.

The foursome looked in high spirits as they treated the audience to some of their classic songs and some new ones from their latest album Red Flag.

All saints shot to fame in 1997 with their song I Know Where It’s At which was followed by Never Ever which went straight to number one in the UK singles charts and brought them international fame in the process.

They went on to have four more number one singles - including Pure Shore which was written for the 2000 smash hit film The Beach - and a number one album.

But amid in-fighting among all four members, they split in 2001 but reformed in 2006 and released their third album which unfortunately bombed in the charts and the girls went their separate ways again three years later.

In 2014 they were reunited once more for a number of live shows, prompting them to sign another record deal and release their fourth album Red Flag and announce a UK tour.

Tomorrow they will jet down to Essex to perform at the V Festival’s other site, Hylands Park in Chelmsford.

Other artists who took to the stage today and will be performing at the simultaneous festival this weekend – which is being headlined by Justin Bieber and Rihanna – included X Factor runner-up Fleur East, who got very hands on with her backing dancers in Staffordshire, as she performed an energetic routine, her blue curls bouncing around.
