"The boobies are out!" Michelle Heaton shows off her new chest on Daybreak following double mastectomy

Michelle Heaton gave her new boobs their first official public outing today, squeezing them into a little black dress and hitting the Daybreak sofa.

Brave Michelle had a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery last year as a precaution after being diagnosed with a mutated gene.

Earlier this month, Michelle revealed that she hadn't yet let her husband  have a feel of her new breasts. But today, she was only too happy to show of her new cleavage, declaring: "The boobies are out!"

They're really quite impressive, aren't they?

Having detailed her double mastectomy drama on the show last year, Michelle thanked Lorraine and her team, saying: "If it wasn't for you guys and Twitter and everyone that's come together, I wouldn't of been able to make the right decision for me. It was you guys that helped me along the way."

Michelle was joined on Lorraine's sofa by the rest of her Liberty X band mates - Jessica Taylor, Tony Lundon, Kevin Simm and Kelli Young.

In case you were worried you'd woken up in the year 2000, don't fret - the group have reformed for ITV's The Big Reunion , which also features bands such as Atomic Kitten, 5ive and B*Witched. SQUEAL!

It's TRUE! There they ARE!

Whilst the thought of the show has made us more excited than we probably should be, the band admitted that they were a bit apprehensive about getting back together.

Jessica, who is married to England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, said: "It took me a while to make the decision. I haven’t done anything at all in the spotlight for a long time."

But she added: "I know I’ve made the right decision now."

Kelli also confessed: "It’s  the first thing I’ve done since having twins. When we got back together it’s like no time has passed whatsoever."

Kev also piped up, saying: "It feels surreal, especially coming back and doing stuff like this.

"It was a strange coming together with the Popstars show. It’s like a long lost friend getting back together and now its normal."

We're getting a little bit emotional here

Kelli also made us do another little squeal by revealing the band are considering doing a new version of Just A Little Bit, which was probably their most memorable video thanks to some corsets and a lot of leather.

"We are thinking about recreating the video," Kelli said. "I’ve got some baby weight to lose and we’re not 100% sure what we’re going to do."

And with each member the proud owner of at least one mini-me now, Michelle joked that they're considering forming a new band, saying: "We're thinking Liberty X Juniors!"

Whilst we were a little gutted to hear that 5ive will be a member short on the show because Jay decided not to take part, Michelle doesn't seem to share our sadness.

She said: "It’s a shame Jay’s not there, but when he sees the show tonight he will realise they are fine without him and they don’t need him there to be successful."

Ouch.

The Big Re union starts at 9pm tonight on ITV2.
