The original line-up briefly reformed to appear on the ITV show Hit Me, Baby, One More Time in 2005, before the group returned officially in 2006 for a tour. Despite the 2005 appearance, Belkhiati did not want to return because she was focused on an acting career and was replaced by Cherry's sister, Candace, as a performing member. Abdi left the band for the second time in August 2006 and was once again replaced by Goodman. They performed together on tour until 2010.[5]
Cherry, Abdi and Goodman re-formed for the 2013 ITV reality show The Big Reunion, marking the first time Abdi and Goodman appeared in the same line-up. The show first aired in January 2013 and followed six bands meeting for the first time since they split, and rehearsing for a comeback performance at the Hammersmith Apollo. They went on to perform in the successful 14-date Big Reunion arena tour in May 2013. Abdi once again left the group in 2014 and the group continued gigging as a duo[6] until Abdi's return in 2023.
