Pop sensation boy band JLS are making a "comeback" to the music scene after a six year break.

The four piece band - composed of Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, JB Gill and Oritse Williams - stormed onto the pop scene in 2008 after coming second on The X Factor .

There followed 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.

A source told The Sun : "The time is finally right for a comeback, now that everyone has had the chance to try out other things and fulfill some personal goals.

"They have stayed really good mates and always loved being on stage together. Now feels like the right time.

"They have the best memories from their JLS days and are chomping at the bit to give something back to their fans."

The source added that the reunion could bring fresh JLS music.

They continued: "Details are being finalised, but it's all looking really hopeful and positive. Currently there are just plans for shows and maybe a few new tracks.

"But if it really takes off for them it could fully relaunch the band."

Aston took to the dance floor for the 15th series of Strictly Come Dancing .

Marvin - who is married to former Saturday Rochelle Humes - has forged a hugely successful broadcasting career.

JB became a presenter on childrens' TV and began hosting Songs of Praise back in 2017.

Oritse has had difficult three years yet he was recently cleared of rape claims.

In May, he was unanimously cleared at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

"It's been horrific," he said on Good Morning Britain. "I haven't been able to work for three years. I had this accusation hanging over my head every single day from when I woke up to when I went to sleep. It's just completely tormented me."
