Their manager, Louis Walsh, told The People: "I saw Take That in Dublin last week and it's amazing how good they all look - especially Gary Barlow. The Boyzone lads will have to work if they want to compete. But I've been talking to all of them about the reunion and it's looking hopeful."

Ronan, Shane and Stephen all met up for dinner recently and reports suggest it went swimmingly. Stephen later said: "It's now just a case of agreeing a time when everyone is free. I've started to hit the gym again to get fitter for the dance moves. I've also started a healthy diet."

Place your bets for the next big reunion tour. We reckon Hear'Say should give it another shot. We could use a laugh.
