Steps: 'Britney Spears split us up'

Steps: 'Britney Spears split us up', The deep, meaningful friendship between Britney Spears and H From Steps clearly passed us by (mind you, we spent most of 1999 mainlining black sambuca in the student union) but apparently it was one of the reasons the band split up. Insert "tragedy" joke here (we would do it ourselves but we feel too guilty about the "Oops! I Did It Again" reference in the headline).
According to tonight's Steps Reunion documentary, which we can't decide whether to watch or not, H (real name Ian Watkins, for people who care about such detail) became close to Britney when they supported her on tour in the US. But Lisa, Claire and... those other dudes... got cross when he started swanning around in Britney's fancy-pants private jet rather than slumming it on the tour bus, which probably smelled of Faye's dreadlocks.

"It got people's backs up," says Lisa Scott Lee. And that's all she said on the matter - you'd think she would have jumped on the opportunity to say something people are interested in for the first time since 2001.
