All Saints have admitted that they decided to split up because they all ‘kind of hated each other’.

The 1990s girl band, who have now reunited to make brand new album Red Flag, didn’t feel the need to stay together for ‘the money’ when they went their separate ways in 2001.

Speaking to Alan Carr on Chatty Man, the singers opened up about how fighting drove the band apart.

“We just weren’t really getting on any more and we kind of hated each other so we just thought ‘f**k it, let’s stop,’” said Mel Blatt.

“Which was the right thing to do, I think,” said Shaznay Lewis.

“We didn’t do it for the money. We didn’t carry on for the money like some bands even though they hated each other,” Blatt added.

Despite their earlier conflict, it seems that the band have put their differences aside this time around.

“It’s amazing. It’s just heart-eyes everywhere. Love. We just have the best time,” said Blatt.

Nicole Appleton added: “I think we just avoid it, purely just because we put everything on the table and say how we are feeling, but it’s not even got to that yet.”

Alan Carr is also joined by Steve Coogan, Rob Delaney, Michael Socha and Michaela Coel.

Alan Carr: Chatty Man is on Channel 4 at 10pm.
