FIVE fans have been left shocked to learn they've been spelling the band's name wrong for TWENTY FIVE years.
Fans were thrilled when band members Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon recently announced their comeback, with tickets onsale today.
The iconic boyband thrilled fans in the late 90s and early noughties with hits like Keep On Movin', Got The Feelin' and When The Lights Go Out.
It's always been thought that the band spelt their name with a "5" at the beginning instead of an "F", which would spell 5ive.
Over the years, this has been the way that fans would spell their name.
However, the boyband have now revealed that this infuriates them when their group name is written in this way
In a new TikTok video, the band showed fans exactly how much it infuriated them when their name was written like this.
Sharing a hilarious video called "When people call us 5ive not Five", the band can be seen kicking bottles and pretending hit their head on the wall, as they demonstrate how much it annoyed them.
Writing next to the video, the group said: "25 years of dealing with this bulls**t!"
Taking to the comments, one fans wrote: "I defo remember it being 5ive!"
While another added: "I defo remember it being 5ive."
This fan pointed out: "I've got the album that says 5ive on it!"
THE BIG REUNION
In 1997, Five – who were all teenagers at the time – were handpicked from 3000 hopefuls, by the same people who put the Spice Girls together.
However, after a breakdown in the group, they split in September 2001.
That's why Five fans were thrilled when they revealed they were getting back together AND going on a huge tour.
Last week, they announced they would perform 12 dates in cities including London, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Cardiff, and Birmingham with tickets going on sale today at 10am.
However, much like Oasis found on their reunion tour, today fans were left disgruntled after prices soared as demand for tickets went through the roof.
As fans logged on to bag themselves a place on the tour they were faced with long queues and price hikes.
While ticket prices were initially listed between £50.75 to £114.90, The Sun spotted seats going for £130 to £316 at London's O2 – with the highest price at the venue going for £577 for a Row A ticket.
Ahead of the tour, which kicks off on October 31 in Brighton, the group have said they are focusing on getting back to their best.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Richie said: "I'm not saying our bodies will be temples but we're back in the gym."
J added: "I've been walking around my living room going over lyrics but it's mostly all there."
