It only took 10 years but we're finally getting the JLS reunion we've been wanting.
British heartthrobs Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold, JB Gill and Oritse Williams have announced their comeback with a massive UK tour that's guaranteed to bring everyone their greatest hits.
The band revealed their comeback on Instagram, as they posted a story of all four members speaking on the phone to each other and agreeing "it's time" for the reunion to take place.
Speaking to Capital FM, JLS said: "We are so excited to be working together as a group again.
"We've always been like family, and now we feel that this is the right time for us to get back on stage and perform in front of our loyal fans."

The band added: "Even though it’s been seven years, you can be sure that it’s going to be as high energy as ever."
The highly-anticipated tour will take place across the country, with 15 dates of shows up for grabs.
Kicking off in Dublin mid November, the tour will have its last show in Nottingham on December 2nd.
It comes as JB fuelled rumours as he cheekily revealed the boys had met up 'a few weeks back' and teased 'never say never' to reunion whispers.
He told The Sun Online: "This year is a big year for us: our 10-year anniversary [since JLS's debut album]. We are all very much in touch, we’re still brothers."

He added: "We met up recently, a few weeks back, and we've always said when the time’s right we could do something. So a reunion… never say never."
The singer also hinted that his friend and bandmate Oritse is doing better after he was recently cleared of rape allegations following a two-year court case.
JB praised Oritse as he told the publication: "He is doing well. All things considered. He is trying to put the past behind him and moving forward. We are family and always support him. We are there for him always."
The band, who first shot to fame on The X Factor in 2008, previously sparked reunion rumours in November 2019 when reports claimed that the four boys were in talks to make a return to the music scene with 'maybe a few new tracks'.
JLS had four massively successful albums – plus one of greatest hits – and five Number One singles which cemented their status as one of the world's biggest boy band phenomenons.
However it all came crashing down for Oritse when his life was torn apart after he was accused of attacking a JLS fan, but was found not guilty earlier last year.
The whole period lasted for three years in total, starting in December 2016.
