S Club 7 first came to public attention in 1999, when they starred in their own television series, "Miami 7". The show first aired on CBBC on BBC One and was a children's sitcom based on the lives of the group who had moved to Miami, Florida in search of fame in America. The show was also launched in the United States, airing on Fox Family, and later on ABC Family; it was retitled "S Club 7 in Miami" for American audiences. The show eventually celebrated worldwide success and was watched by 90 million viewers in over 100 countries. The group also filmed two specials between the first two series of their show. The first, "Back to the '50s"—which aired on CITV, instead of CBBC—told the story of how the group found themselves back in 1959. In the second TV special, "Boyfriends & Birthdays", Stevens' boyfriend gave her an ultimatum of staying with him or remaining with S Club.
