They then giggled as Lee struggled to instantly recall the new dates.

Steps were formed in May 1997 and released four albums and seventeen singles, before leaving fans heartbroken when they split on Boxing Day in 2001.
Meanwhile the five piece of Claire, Lee, Faye Tozer, Lisa Scott-Lee and Ian “H” Watkins have ruled out a stint on Eurovision - with Lisa particularly adamant they will not put themselves forward to star in the talent competition.
Fearne Cotton, who was standing in for show host Lorraine Kelly, told them: "A lot of people are wanting you to do Eurovision," to which Claire looked doubtful and replied: "I love the idea of it but I think our (the UK) track record is not great.
"I don't think I would want to add that to our legacy."
Lisa seemed just as dubious and added: "I think it's a gamble
"We are really happy doing what we are doing," before cheeky H then quipped: "It's a no from Lisa."
Earleir in the show, he had lifted the lid on the details of their reunion and revealed: "It was never meant to be a comeback, it was always meant to be a celebration.
"It's our 20th year and we always knew we were going to do something.
"But the reaction to that has been incredible - a new single, album, tour, it has just blown us all away."
