This Morning's Rochelle Humes says reunion could be 'awkward'

This Morning presenter Rochelle Humes admitted things could get 'awkward' after a music reunion was teased on Loose Women yesterday.

Rochelle, who has been covering for Holly Willoughby on This Morning, used to be part of The Saturdays.

Ruth said: "A pop band are reuniting but who?"

She continued: ""Maybe Rochelle there's something you're not telling us?"

Rochelle responded, as she said: "I was going to say this could be a bit awkward at 12.30pm. Nobody's called me."

Co-host Phillip Schofield, who was replaced on today's show after testing positive for covid, said: "She's too busy being Mushroom in The Masked Singer."

Rochelle laughed as she jokingly hit Phillip with her script as she denied that she was a part of the singing show.

She added: "I better tune in. Or check that WhatsApp group chat... I might have missed something."

It was later revealed that it was actually Union J who are reuniting rather than The Saturdays.

Original members George Shelley, Josh Cuthbert, JJ Hamblett and Jaymi Hensley will be reuniting for the first time since 2016, after the band was formed on The X Factor way back in 2011.

Announcing a reunion show to mark their tenth anniversary, the group said, “We’re so excited to be back! We can’t wait to be on the stage together as a four again and to be reunited with our wonderful fans.

"The London Palladium is such an incredible venue and it feels like the perfect return to live shows for us as a group. After the journey we’ve had, we know it’s going to be a night that we’ll remember forever!”

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV and the ITV Hub
