However, they have spoken openly about their younger brother, Brandon Lee, becoming their fourth member by the end of this year, leading some to speculate why he hadn't joined them on their televised journey.

But now the group have been reunited the band have already started rehearsals to make him a fully-fledged Cutkelvin group member.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Shereen said: "We've been starting already! We had a proper rehearsal today with all of us.

"He said to us as we came off the show ‘is there still a space in the band for me?’ - so that’s a definite thing that’s going to be happening, we just have to ease him into it all."
