Iconic X Factor group JLS have confirmed they are in talks to reunite to celebrate 10 years since their debut album was released.
The group, which consists of Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes and JB Gill, took part in Simon Cowell’s talent show in 2008.
While they missed out on the top spot to Alexandra Burke, the lads went on to enjoy bumper careers.
Between 2009 and 2012, JLS – who were formerly known as UFO – released four albums.
Teasing the potential for an upcoming reunion, JB Gill said: “This year is a big year for us: our 10-year [album] anniversary.

“We are all very much in touch, we’re still brothers.
“We met up recently, a few weeks back, and we’ve always said when the time’s right we could do something.”
He added: “So a reunion… never say never.”
The news comes just months after bandmate Oritse was cleared of rape.
JB added to The Sun Online: “He is doing well.

“All things considered. He is trying to put the past behind him and moving forward.
“We are family and always support him. We are there for him always.”
Posting to his Instagram followers shortly after the verdict was announced, Marvin Humes said: “Cleared. Not Guilty!
“Finally my brother Oritse’s three years of hell is over!
“No-one will ever know or imagine what he’s been through.

“I’m just so proud of the way he conducted himself during what has been the most awful time.
“He is so strong and I know he can’t wait to start his life again now. We love you.”
JLS – which stands for Jack the Lad Swing – announced in April 2013 that they would be splitting after the final stop on their Goodbye Tour.
Rumours of a reunion first came up in November 2019.
