Pop group Liberty X has split up.

The five-piece, who formed after finishing as runners up to Hear'Say on Popstars in 2001, announced that they have no further plans to record together.

The group posted on its official website: "We want to let the fans know that Liberty X won't be doing any more recording together. All of us have separate projects we're working on and are excited about.

"We're still the best of friends and we'll still be doing all the dates on the current club tour. Also, we still intend to come together sometimes as Liberty X, for one-off events."

Liberty X scored eight top ten hits in its five-year recording career, including the number one smash 'Just A Little'.
