RTE viewers have all praised an “iconic” 00s girl band after their “brilliant” performance on The Late Late Show.
The Sugababes joined host Patrick Kielty in the hot seat to chat about their return to the spotlight and the enduring success of the band.

The original Sugababes line-up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy have a career spanning three decades, with 18 Top Ten hits including six No1s.
Now, the ladies are back better than ever with their new floor-filler single, Jungle and an album to follow.
Kicking off last night’s show, the band performed their hit, Push the Button, before returning to sing their new single, Jungle.
After their second performance, the pop trio chatted to the show’s host about their strong ties to Ireland.
Siobhan told how her dad’s family hail from Tyrone, while her mum’s side of the family is from Mountmellick in Co Laois.
The singer recalled spending many of her summer holidays in Ireland with her family.
She also revealed that the “real star” in her family is her cousin, Kerry footballer Kieran Donaghy.
The band opened for Westlife at the Aviva Stadium back in 2022, and remembering the gig, they said: “Westlife was wild, we love them so much.”
Siobhan said: “I thought the bus on the way back to the hotel was going to tip over at one point.”
Mutya added: “The audience was wild for Westlife as well, we were kind of taken aback.”
The Sugababes formed the band back in 1998 as schoolgirls.
They reunited for a headline performance at South London’s Mighty Hoopla in 2022 and were unsure what else would follow.
Next month they will kick off their biggest-ever European arena tour – starting off in Leeds on April 8 and making their way to the SSE Arena in Belfast on April 19 and the 3Arena in Dublin on April 20.
Speaking ahead of their upcoming tour, Mutya told Patrick: “It’s about having fun now. We had our years of being quite serious. Now it’s time to have fun.”
‘SO ICONIC’
RTE viewers raced to social media to praise the iconic girl band.
One fan said: “So iconic. Taking my teen daughter to see them next month. Can’t wait.”
Jack wrote: “They are the best trio ever and the queens of harmonies see you for the Dublin show.”
Ivan gushed: “Queens.”
Em said: “They were SO GOOD. Can’t wait for them to perform again.”
Another added: “They were brilliant tonight.”
