They flashed their figure in colourful festival attire as well as strutting their stuff on-stage in a series of fringed outfits.

Yonah Higgins is best known for being part of the girlwith her sisters Cleo and Zainam.

At the start of their career, the group was , with Cleo as the lead singer.

Their debut single Cleopatra’s Theme landed in at number three on the charts and their next three singles, from their famously named album Comin’ Atcha!, reached the top five.

It also meant that they got their own 60-minute Disney Channel special.

This led them on to perform at the BRIT Awards in 1999 and receive nominations for a BRIT and MOBO Award.

She now works as a complementary therapist and dance instructor.

Yet Yonah still keeps her hand in the music industry too.

In September, she featured on Atari Safari track These Feelings.

And in November 2023, she made a cameo in movie Our Kid.

Yonah, who often goes make-up free, has kept her fresh-faced complexion and youthful look ever since her popstar heyday.

She often sports dreadlocks and has maintained her signature trendy style.

FALL FROM FAME

Despite also finding success in the US, the band were dropped by their record label just before they were about to release their second album Steppin’ Out in 2000.

Cleo later went on to appear on The Voice and she made it to the semi-final with will.i.am as her coach.

Despite going their separate ways, the girls have carried on doing what they love the most.

They reunited in 2005 to perform on ITV’s Hit Me Baby One More Time.

All three also returned to our screen to take part in Pop Goes the Band in 2009, which was followed by a comeback show in London.

But in recent years the girls haven’t made any music together.

Cleo and Yonah have very much kept themselves in the spotlight.

The pair even took part in Celebrity Coach Trip back in 2019 alongside Vicky Pattison, Georgia Steel and Scott Thomas.

Cleo loves to share with fans what she gets up to on Instagram and is still singing on stage.
