“Nicole was made a multi-million pound offer to re-join the group and was given a huge advance which made it impossible for her to turn down.

“The tour is going to be huge and the group will be playing their greatest hits. But there has been talk of the possibility of them recording new music.

“It’s in the early stages but now they’re going to be back together, a couple of them, including Nicole, have said they’d be open to working on some new sounds together.”
