Career
2004: Baby Cakes
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
"Baby Cakes" went straight to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart,[2][3] and to number 3 on the Irish Singles Chart.[4] It also just crept onto the Eurochart Hot 100 charting at number 91. The song also charted in Belgium, France, Netherlands and Sweden. 3 of a Kind never released a follow-up to "Baby Cakes", making them one-hit wonders in the UK. A potential follow-up track, "Wink One Eye", was put forward as the second single, but was pulled from the new release listings and never re-scheduled.
2014–present
Nicholas Gallante appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks' in November 2014, as part of the "Identity Parade" round and it was revealed he is now a party planner.
