BBC 3's Liquid News scored something of a credibility boost yesterday when they managed to make four S Club members walk off in disgust by questioning them over those stories that their manager Simon Fuller essentially ripped them off (well, actually it was the band's PR who stopped the interview, but still, the end result was the same).
Presenter Claudia Winkleman said: "Lets talk cash. Mr Simon Fuller. Don't look at me like you are angry. He's got £90 million in the bank."
S Club member Jo O'Meara responded: "How much? £90 million now? It was 50 last week."
Winkleman replied: "It is 90. There are rumours that you are grumpy because you have not made a mint."
Fellow member Jon Lee said: "No That's not true," while Jo added: "I think we are all really, really lucky to be where we are today at our age and to have the bank balances that we do have."
That was the point that the band's promotions person walked on the set and halted the interview, saying: "Can you not talk about that please? I am not having that question asked. I tried to stop the interview; I've had to walk in here. We're going."
