The group consisted of Jake Sims, Chris Leonard, Charlie Jones, Casey Johnson, Barclay Beales, Reece Bibby, and Tom.

‘I wrote the single within a day. I can’t come back to a song, I have to finish it.’

He went on to write songs for acts including JLS, Lewis Capaldi, Becky Hill and Mimi Webb. 

The group split up in 2015 just 10 months after they were formed on The X Factor.

A statement to fans on the eight-piece boy band’s Facebook page revealed they decided to go their separate ways after struggling to secure a record deal.

The group wrote: ‘We all feel the time has come for us to now continue our journeys individually.

‘We have learnt first-hand just how tough the industry is as an unsigned act. Unfortunately, due to these circumstances, we are no longer able to carry on as a band.

‘Please understand that there is nothing more that you could have done and that this is a situation completely beyond both your control and ours. We have considered endless ways of how we might try to make this work, but it is logistically impossible for us to continue as Stereo Kicks.

‘From the bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful for all of your hard work, support and love. We can’t thank you enough.’

‘Although this is really sad for us, we felt that we wanted to end on a high. You guys have been with us every step of the way and have been the first to hear our news, and we wanted to keep it that way!’ 

The group all performed a solo artists during the auditions stage of The X Factor in 2014, before being merged into a group by the judges.

Tom, who was 19-years-old when he auditioned, was a football coach from Southampton who sang the Cyndi Lauper classic, ‘Girls Just want to Have Fun’ during the Boot Camp stage on the popular ITV show.

Former panellist Louis Walsh then put the boys through to the live shows, where they stayed until they were kicked out after a sing-off with Lauren Platt in week eight.

Louis fumed at Simon Cowell at the time, insisting he would regret his decision not to save them when they became a huge hit.

He said to the Metro: ‘It was totally the wrong decision by Simon. The potential for these boys is incredible and time will tell who will do well between these boys and the girl.

‘I am never going to let him forget it. And when they sell all those records I will say, “Do you remember when you voted them off?”’

The group had been tipped to be the next One Direction, but suffered a series of scandals in the early days of their formation.

Barclay was the victim of revenge porn at the end of last year after an explicite naked photo was leaked online.

Meanwhile, Jake was caught up in two drugs scandals in a month after pictures showing him lying in a daze after allegedly snorting Class A drug ketamine emerged just weeks after he was accused of making several references about smoking drugs online.
