Former chart-toppers Five are planning to make a comeback - as a foursome.

Scott Robinson, Ritchie Neville, Jason "J" Brown and Richard “Abs" Breen hope to follow in the footsteps of Take That and East 17 by reuniting for fans. Fifth member Sean Conlon will not be participating as he has already been offered a solo deal.

A source told The Sun: "Ritchie, Abs, Scott and J have kept in touch since the band decided to call it a day in 2001. After watching Take That and East 17 being rejuvenated, they began to consider a comeback.

“A few of the lads were still in touch with record label contacts who said now was the right time to do it."

Five were best known for their hits Slam Dunk (Da Funk), Let’s Dance and Everybody Get Up.
