Two members of 1990s boy band V stripped down to their Speedos on holiday.
Aaron Buckingham, 41, and Kevin McDaid, 40, rose to fame as part of the group along with Mark Harle, Antony Brant and Leon Pisani in the early 2000s.
They enjoyed hits like Blood, Sweat and Tears and Hip to Hip before calling it quits in 2005 after just two years on the music scene.
They reunited in 2023 – without Mark – and hinted at plans to record new music and tour again.
But last summer, two of the stars posted a steamy shoot on Instagram, proving their friendship is still going strong after all these years.
Aaron wrote: “Sunsea selfies sweat and s***head,” in a joke to his bandmate and travel companion.

Over the summer, two of the stars posted a steamy shoot to Instagram, proving their friendship is still going strong after all these years.
In one photo, the boys looked cheerful as they posed in front of the sea, while Aaron wore nothing but a pair of striped speedos.
In no time Kevin was standing up on a boat in some small black suitcases before Aaron was in a pair of shorts in what looked like a sauna.
Although he wasn’t present for the steamy photos, Leon joined in by leaving a comment.
He wrote, “My boys,” and embellished his comment with two blue heart emojis.
The band was formed in 2002 after auditions from Prestige Management.
They chose the band name ‘V’, suggested by Antony as the Roman numeral for five, corresponding to the five members of the band.
In 2003, the band signed with Universal Records for their debut album and made their debut performance as the opening act for Busted on their Arena Tour in early 2004.
In the summer of 2024, the group took the stage at the Mighty Hoopla Festival in London.

Fans went crazy with the news that they could reunite 18 years later after creating a brand new Instagram page

They played all their classic songs, as well as a cover of Jackson 5 hit Can You Feel It.
Before that, they teased fans with a snippet of their logo, hinting that a comeback might be on the way.
One fan of the group wrote underneath: “I can’t handle this, I can’t wait to find out what these guys have in store.”
A second wrote: ‘Can’t wait!!’, while a third said: ‘I’m not sure I have words!’
