They enjoyed seven years of success before announcing a hiatus in 2009, during which bandmember Cheryl Cole launched a solo career and became a talent show judge on Simon Cowell's The X Factor.

Girls Aloud's manager Hilary Shaw has now confirmed the band will get back together in 2012 to celebrate 10 years in the spotlight, telling The People newspaper, "Everybody wants them to make a comeback and it will be next year. Well, it is their 10th anniversary so there will be something."

Shaw also dismissed rumours the band will reunite without Cole, adding, "Cheryl is keen to get back with the girls and is planning something which could be a one-off or some gigs."
