Mis-Teeq: 'The comments about us on Top of the Pops would never happen today'

Mis-Teeq returns to the spotlight 20 years after their peak, with Alesha Dixon, Sabrina Washington, and Su-Elise Nash reflecting on the era and a reunion after two decades of solo careers. The group marks the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Lickin’ on Both Sides, with a Wembley bridge show as part of a larger comeback planned for Wembley Arena later this year. They recall a pre-social media era when girl groups faced intense misogyny and racism, and note Telstar Records’ collapse in 2005 that halted further releases.

The trio discusses the evolution of representation and the industry’s shift toward mindfulness and fan engagement, while acknowledging memorable moments, including a controversial Top of the Pops moment in 2001. They emphasize agency and artistic voice in today’s climate. The reunion is framed as both a celebration and a renewed platform for their music and legacy.
