Girls Aloud will reform next year to mark their ten year anniversary, it has been announced.

The band's manager, Hilary Shaw, has confirmed that all five members of the band will return to celebrate their tenth year together.

She said:

"Everybody wants them to make a comeback and it will be next year. Well, it is their 10th anniversary so there will be something.

"They speak all the time, and that includes Cheryl and Nadine with the other girls. Cheryl is keen to get back with the girls and is planning something which could be a one-off or some gigs."

The hitmakers, who were formed on television talent show, Popstars the Rivals in 2002, have not performed together since 2009, when they opened for Coldplay at Wembley Stadium.

The girl's, however, have certainly been busy while they've been on a break from the band.

Cheryl has fronted advertising campaigns, launched a successful solo career and became the nation's sweetheart after she featured as a judge on the X Factor.

Nicola Roberts launched her own make-up line and is in talks to release a solo album, Sarah Harding branched out into acting and Kimberley Walsh tried her hand at presenting.

Nadine Coyle also embarked on a solo career, releasing her first album last year.
