The group used to be formed with Terry, Brian Harvey, Tony Mortimer and John Hendy in the 90s’ but after multiple change-ups now consists of Terry, Robbie Craig and Joe Livermore.

Terry chatted exclusively to the Daily Star about the idea of ever reuniting with the old line-up, which he said would “never” happen.

The singer said: “I haven’t been in touch with the old band members, no one talks to each other, too much water under the bridge, as they say.

“I tried 10 years ago to get everyone together for the Big Reunion TV show but it never happened due to certain band members not wanting to do it.

“There won’t be a reunion.”

Talking about the 2022 line-up, he continued: “I don’t have regrets, everything happens for a reason, I’m in a very good place and my current band members are my best mates, we get along so well and there’s never any drama.

“The key is we love what you do and feel so privileged to have this fantastic job and to be performing all over the world for our fans.
