JLS confirm reunion tour seven years after they split... as they vow to put falsely accused Oritsé Williams's rape trial behind them
JLS have confirmed they're getting back together for a reunion tour.
The boy band - comprised of Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes and JB Gill - have announced they are reforming, seven years after their split in 2013.
In a video shared on The One Show on Wednesday, the boys said: 'Hey we are JLS, and we're back! We're back together. We can't wait to go back on tour at the end of the year.

'And we're very excited to be on The One Show this Friday, for a very exclusive performance of some of our hits.
'Looking forward to chatting to you then, and seeing you and our fans on Friday.'
The clip was shared on Twitter, and the boys confirmed the news when they quoted the tweet and added: 'We can't wait to spend our #ValentinesDay with you at @BBCTheOneShow this Friday. See you there (sic)'.
A second video shared by the Beat Again hitmakers also sees them discuss the possibility of getting back together, as Marvin says he 'thinks it's time' for the group to reunite.
Whilst Aston tells his pals it's been 10 years since their first headline tour, so it's only fitting they hit the road again for their new tour, titled Beat Again 2020.

JLS have also given an interview to The Sun about their reunion, vowing to put Oritsé's rape trial behind them.
He said: 'The past is behind me and this is a beautiful new chapter. The future is bright again.
'Being back with my brothers is the most amazing thing. They've been incredibly supportive over the past few years and now I feel like I'm back home.
Success story: After coming second to Alexandra Burke on The X Factor back in 2008, JLS went on to sell more than 10 million records, enjoying ten Top 10 hits, including five number one singles
'For me it's about if anyone can take anything from what I've been through that might be inspirational for them.'
The singer was cleared of rape allegations in May last year, following a two-year court case.
He had been falsely accused of plying a 20-year-old tattoo artist and her two friends with alcohol before launching a sex attack on December 2, 2016.
The interview comes months after a jury of eight women and four men took two hours and 17 minutes to clear him of all charges.
His bandmate Marvin praised him for enduring the accusations, while Pixie Lott, Alexandra Burke and Marvin's wife Rochelle also rallied round Oritsé following his acquittal.

The quartet also stopped by Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp for a live interview on Thursday morning.
Marvin revealed he tried to get the band back together four years ago, but the other boys were reluctant at first.
He said: 'It's lovely to be back here with my brothers. It's something I've been waiting for for a long time. Four years ago I tried to make this happen.
'I was on the phone to the guys like 'Come on guys, let's just get back together, we should have never broke up. You're telling me that our heart won't beat again?'
'I remember taking Oritsé for a dodgy little sushi around the corner from here and I was like 'Rish come on bruv, let's make this happen'.

Oritsé chimed in, 'I broke his heart', while Marvin laughed, 'He was like 'nope we're not doing it!'
Roman asked them: 'Is there anything you argue over though? I can’t really imagine it.'
J.B. - who now works as a farmer - said: 'Not really. The only thing we ever “argue” about would be something professional. So if anyone feels like that wasn’t the right step, you need to fix that. That’s when you might say ‘listen, I did the right step’.
Oritsé chimed in: 'Listen, J.B. will tell you about yourself!'
J.B. added: 'It’s always been professional because we’ve always inherently set a standard for ourselves.
