They were also joined on the show by singer Lilly Allen and US actor Matt LeBlanc.

From starting in a shed in Bailiff Bridge, Embrace have made a successful return to music scene since they announced the news of their new material at the end of 2013.

They performed numerous secret gigs including one at Halifax Amateur Boxing Club, before they officially broke the news of their comeback.

The band will also be appearing at HMV on Victoria Walk, Leeds on Sunday April 27 at 3pm to sign copies of their self entitled album.
