Reformed pop group The Fizz were branded “embarrassing” by viewers during their live performance on This Morning today.
The band, made up of Buck’s Fizz singers Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Shelley Preston, appeared on the show to promote their new tour, 80s Invasion.
But they didn’t get the best reaction from some viewers…
As they belted out their tune The Land Of Make Believe on the ITV show, some viewers branded it cringeworthy. And others complained that they were out of tune.
“My ears are bleeding watching #TheFizz on #ThisMorning.
“It’s embarrassing,” blasted a viewer.
Another moaned: “God this is painful #ThisMorning #TheFizz.”
And others criticised their dance routine, with one unimpressed viewer tweeting: “Classic bit of Buck’s Fizz careering into each other in an ill advised microphone pre song dance routine #thismorning.”

Luckily, the group still had some diehard fans who enjoyed the nostalgia.
“Buck’s Fizz still got it xx #ThisMorning,” commented one, while a second tweeted: “I’m enjoying buck’s fizz doing the land of make believe on #ThisMorning far more than I should be.”

The group had to change their name to The Fizz when they reunited after a dispute about who owned the name Buck’s Fizz.

A judge ruled that former member of the band Bobby G’s wife owns the name.
Buck’s Fizz rose to fame after winning the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest, where the male singers infamously whipped off the female vocalists’ long skirts during the performance of Making Your Mind Up.
