Coveted pop royalty in S Club 7 are 'set to reunite' for a massive tour - 25 years following the launch of their debut single, according to reports.
The group shot to fame in the 90's and early 00s, and are said to have a huge comeback in the works - much to the rejoice of long-time fans, who highly anticipate an official reunion announcement.
Made up of Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole, Rachel Stevens, and Tina Barrett - the group parted ways in 2003. But in their prime, they secured four number-one singles and a hugely successful album, simply titled S Club.

The Mirror reports that best known for their hits Bring It All Back, S Club Party, Reach and Never Had a Dream Come True, the seven-strong band have reportedly all agreed to a comeback, which has been organised but music mogul Simon Fuller.
Simon was responsible for putting them together in 1998 after the Spice Girls, his previous band, sacked him as their manager.
Mail Online reports that he called each of the seven stars individually and made it clear that the reunion would only work if they all agreed to it. Details of the comeback, which is understood to include a summer tour, will be released in the coming weeks, the publication reports.
The reported 'tour' may need to be postponed until later in the year however, as discussions around Jo O’Meara’s back injury and subsequent four surgeries are ongoing, it is claimed. A source close to the project reportedly told the publication: “Simon Fuller saw the value in this, S Club 7 had a huge following of all ages who he thinks will want to go and see them for nostalgia reasons.
“Their songs were so upbeat and fun, it is a massive commercial opportunity for them all, particularly Simon.”
Last week, Jo admitted her fear that she will not be able to dance on stage again after multiple surgeries on a horror back injury. The pop star, 43, underwent surgery to remove a part of her disc in her back after waking up in such a huge amount of been she felt as though she had been shot.
Following the ops, she was left to take a different number of pain medications, but none - including morphine - seemed to take the edge off. She admitted the first time she felt the agonising pain in November, she thought she was having a convulsion as her whole body went into shock.
The Reach singer said she immediately rang for an ambulance and told The Sun : "I was sobbing and shaking. They came running in but I couldn’t move. Every time I tried to get off the bed I was screaming and sobbing in pain."
Surgery has left Jo facing months of physio before she can think about getting back on the stage and she will have damage to her right leg permanently. Doctors have warned her that she may never return to her old ways.
She explained how she knew something was severely wrong as she's often struggled with back pain.
