A girl group that toured Europe with The Pussycat Dolls said it was ‘surreal’ to join their childhood heroes on stage.

Deja Vu, formed of Elle Botterill and Tyrece Lewis from Buckinghamshire alongside Venezuelan-born Carolina Diaz, performed their first-ever live shows during the 20-date arena tour across the UK and Europe.

The group were left stunned when Kimberly Wyatt personally invited them to join the headliners during the dance break of their hit song, Buttons.

Botterill said: “Even afterwards, we were just like, ‘I can’t believe that’s actually just happened, we’ve been on stage dancing with The Pussycat Dolls in front of thousands of people’.”

The PCD Forever Tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Pussycat Dolls, saw the trio visit cities including Prague and Paris, before finishing at London’s O2 on Tuesday.

The group had formed during the Covid-19 pandemic and reached the semi-finals of The Voice UK in 2023, but the tour was the first time they had performed full shows for an audience.
