Girls Aloud are set to make a comeback after 10 years away from the music industry, according to reports.
Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts have reportedly met up to film a new music video.
The band was formed in 2002 on the ITV talent show Pop Stars: The Rivals and are one of the UK's most successful pop groups of the 21st century.
Girls Aloud achieved a string of twenty consecutive top-ten singles in the UK and sold 4.3 million singles and 4 million albums in the UK alone.

Girls Aloud reportedly making new music
The group came back together to release new music and go on tour in 2012, before splitting in March 2013, amid rumours of feuds.
It is reported that Girls Aloud could be dedicating a song to former bandmate Sarah Harding who died of cancer in 2021 aged 39.
A source told The Sun: "This has been one of the best-kept secrets in pop, but it’s actually happening now.
“The girls really came back together as friends to rally around when Sarah died, and it repaired some of the old rifts and put things into perspective.
"Suddenly the reunion which had seemed totally impossible for so long just felt a totally natural thing to do — in Sarah’s honour.”
It is also reported that the band could be going out on tour again in the near future too.
The insider added: “They’ve got a single and a video in the can, plans for a full record of new music, and for the fans the most exciting thing will be a massive reunion tour in 2024.
“It’s going to be huge — and they’re all very excited to be back working together, even if there is a bittersweet element to it.
“Of course, whatever they do, there will always be nods to Sarah’s contribution to the group, too."
