On the show, Jon – who has been single for over a year - got to pick three out of five menus to go on a blind date with.

Speaking about his decision to be on the show, he said: “Dating in S Club didn’t really happen. I met people here and there, but you can’t just say ‘hi, I’m Jon, by the way I’m off for six months’.”

His first date, Curt, didn’t realise who he was at first, but when he revealed he used to be in S Club, he came over all-star struck.

He later admitted he had been a huge fan and knew all their songs and dance moves.

His second date, Kieron had no idea who he was until he said – but again was taken aback when Jon revealed the truth.

His final meal was with an American called Jordan, who Jon ended up picking because he had never heard of S Club.

Jon said it was “refreshing”, but unfortunately the pair never saw each other again.

Those watching at home were delighted to see Jon back on the telly and took to Twitter to comment on it.
