Two members of the noughties boyband V have stripped down to their Speedos on holiday.
Aaron Buckingham, 41, and Kevin McDaid, 40, shot to fame alongside Mark Harle, Antony Brant, and Leon Pisani as part of the group in the early 2000s.
They enjoyed hits such as 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 over the summer, two of the stars posted a steamy shoot onto Instagram as they proved that their friendship is still going strong after all these years.
Aaron wrote: ‘Sun sea selfies sweat and s***head’, in a jokey dig to his bandmate and travel companion.

In one pic, the boys looked in great spirits as they posed in front of the sea with Aaron wearing nothing but a pair of striped speedos.
In another snap, Kevin stood tall on a boat in a pair of small black trunks before Aaron was seen sitting in what appeared to be a sauna in a pair of shorts.
Although he was not present for the steamy photos, Leon got in on the action by leaving a comment.
He wrote: ‘My boys’ and emblazoned his comment with two blue heart emojis.
The band was formed 2002 through auditions held by Prestige Management.
They selected 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 to Universal Records for their debut album and made their debut performance as a supporting act of Busted during their Arena Tour early in 2004.
Over the summer of 2024, the group took to the stage at the Mighty Hoopla Festival in London.

One lover of the group wrote underneath: ‘I can’t handle this can’t wait to find out what these guys have in store.’
A second penned: ‘Can’t wait!!’, while a third said: ‘Not really sure i have words!’
