 What time is it? It's Chico time as he's shining once more in his surprising new career. Former X Factor star Chico Slimani has ditched his popstar ambitions and now runs spiritual and fitness retreats in warm countries. The 52-year-old can be currently found leading Block Fit classes which incorporate dance, HIIT, and yoga, as well as 'breath retreats' in Portugal, Bali, and Croatia. If you want to join him on the next one you'll need £1997, and enough annual leave to take time off between 19th and 28th July. What do you get for the money? The description reads: 'We are bringing you the enchanting experience of HU Breath retreats, led by Chico from the X Factor, the same guy who knocked Madonna off the top of the UK charts with his number one single 'It's Chico Time'.' 'Chico will serve as your breath work facilitator and mindset mentor,' it added. Chico found fame on X Factor in 2005 (Picture: Ken McKay/REX/Shutterstock) 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore your inner-self and discover the timeless within, shedding years of lifetime habits that may have held you back from being your greatest self. 'All of this will be experienced in the breathtaking paradise that is Bali, offering a feast for the senses where your heart will sing and your soul will dance. In short, this experience is priceless!' Priceless, or just under £2000 depending on which way you look at it.

Chloe Ferry, Sophie Kassai, and Holly Hagan were amongst the group who experienced a Chico healing session, which ended up becoming quite emotional. Even Chico got teary as Chloe, 27, opened up about the pain of losing her dad to cancer.
