I was a noughties one hit wonder – now I’m a Bollywood movie actor and on Dancing With The Stars Middle East

BEST known for their novelty noughties hit, one Fast Food Rockers member has twirled into the limelight once more.

The trio, made up of Lucy Meggitt, Ria Scott and Martin Rycroft, previously outsold Elton John and Justin Timberlake, but have largely been out of the public eye since their hit fifteen years ago.

Now, vocalist Martin has pursued an equally glamorous career.

Detailed in his Instagram bio, the ex-singer has a new role in the limelight.

He has recently starred in the 2021 Bollywood movie ‘Time to Dance’ as well as competing as a professional dancer on Dancing With The Stars Middle East.

Martin starred as ‘William Cottenham’ in Time to Dance, that followed the story of an injured ballroom dancer who strives to succeed whilst hoping to not lose her heart to her new teammate.

In January, Martin, 40, dusted off his dance shoes once more in aid of a Blackpool based mental health charity.

Explaining his work to his Instagram followers, he said: “Hi everyone, I’m really excited to announce I’m going to be dancing in the Blackpool winter gardens in the Emperors ballroom with Anne Jackson.

“We are going to be raising money for Tia’s crown, which is a charity that’s been set up to support mental and physical well-being through dance.”

Back in July, Martin and his Fast Food Rockers bandmates were pictured in a sweet reunion snap shared to social media.

The selfie thrilled fans with one exclaiming: “I simply like this! Amazing!” While another put: “This makes me SO HAPPY!!”

Martin captioned post: “Was lovely catching up with these two,” whilst posing alongside Lucy and Ria.

The Fast Food Rockers shot to fame in 2003 with the release of the Fast Food Song – a catchy tune that reinterpreted a traditional folk song by mentioning McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Martin works between Dubai and the UK and continues to work as a presenter alongside being a professional dancer on the Middle Eastern version of Dancing with the Stars.
