Una Healy says The Saturdays reunion ‘will happen’ – seven years after girl group split

UNA Healy says a reunion for The Saturdays “will happen” and is convinced JLS’ comeback will help persuade her bandmates to return.

The girl group had a string of hit singles before splitting in 2014 but Una says she is now eager to revisit their music along with Rochelle Humes, Mollie King, Vanessa White and Frankie Bridge.

In an exclusive interview, she told The Sun: “More than one have said, ‘Wouldn’t it be lovely to do something again?’ I reckon it will happen.

“I would love to do something with the girls again so we will see. I hope so while we are still fresh and young. I think it would nice to do it sooner rather than later.

“We have some great songs. Someone sent me a link to the megamix the other day and is it bad to say I was fangirling to it myself? I actually love that music. It’s so uplifting. I would love to get back out there.”

Una, who returns tomorrow with her new solo single Swear It All Again, hopes JLS’ upcoming reunion tour this summer will make her bandmates nostalgic for their time in the group.

They frequently toured at the same time as the group and Rochelle is married to JLS’ Marvin Humes.

Una said: “We’ll probably go to the show with Rochelle and watch JLS and I guess that we’ll get quite nostalgic while we’re there and might have a chat then.”

Speaking about being put into the group, who performed four headline tours and released four albums, she added: “We are really lucky because we were put together and in whatever job you have, you can’t choose who you work with, so it’s a bonus when you get on.

“Because we were together all the time it would have been hell if we didn’t get on. We had a great time together.”
