Blue have announced they will be reuniting this year to celebrate 20 years of the band with their Heart and Soul tour - and fans can't wait.
The quartet will hit the road across the UK in December to entertain fans who have supported them over the last two decades.
One fourth of the band Duncan James send fans wild after posting a video of the band on Instagram, captioned: "I say blue you say what” - a reunion!!??? @officialblue."
Since sharing the video on Thursday (May 19), the post has garnered thousands of likes and views with hundreds of fans pouring in to share their excitement over the reunion.
In the clip Duncan James, Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe and Antony Costa can be seen trying to get money out of a cash machine, before each comically confessing to being 'broke'.
The video opens with Simon at an ATM as he pretends to enter his pin code, he then turns to face the camera where a voice in his head with a thick Jamaican accent can be heard saying: "You don't have no money... so take your a*** and go long, you're broke!"
Next up is Lee who similarly enters his details into the cash machine before reminding himself of a speeding ticket he paid: "Oh yeah, I forgot I paid that fine, I wasn't even driving, my missus was."
The Blue singer, 38, was charged with driving a Mercedes at 70mph in a 60mph limit in Peterborough twice in 2020.
Antony then takes to the same cash point as his inner voice simply shouts "b******s" at seemingly not being able to afford getting any money out.
Last up is Duncan who faces a similar dilemma, where he says: "Ah dear the bank balance wasn't want it used to be." Before adding: "Today wasn't a great day, but it was nice to see the boys. I went up and asked how everyone was, everyone was pretty down actually. Then I had this genius idea, why don't we reform?"
The announcement video caused a frenzy among fans, as many took to the comment section to express their excitement.
