In the early 2000's there was an Australian girl band that everyone was obsessed with, they were called Bardot. And Belinda Chapple was one of the members.

Chances are you might remember their hit song Poison. Or you may have watched Popstars where the band was created. But what you might not know is that a lot of things went on behind the scenes.

On this episode of No Filter, Belinda joins Mia to share the stories she’s wanted to tell for twenty years. From their quick rise to fame, to the absurd amount of money they were paid, to what happened when they split…Belinda gave everything up for a dream that didn’t work out, so where is she now?

THE END BITS:

Belinda's new book: The Girl In The Band Bardot a Cautionary Tale will be available here.
