X Factor band formed by Simon Cowell 'to reunite but without one member'
There is speculation that a group put together on the X Factor are planning to reunite with all but one of its original members. They are said to have "big plans" for next year, which marks a significant anniversary in the band's history.
Fifth Harmony was formed on the X Factor USA in 2012 after Ally Brooke, now 31, Camila Cabello, now 28, Dinah Jane, now 27, Lauren Jauregui, now 28, and Normani, now 28, auditioned as solo artists. The group went on to have success, with them releasing songs like Work From Home.
Camila however left Fifth Harmony in 2016. Her four bandmates then continued as a group following her departure, before announcing two years later that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus to pursue solo projects.
It's now been reported that Ally, Dinah, Lauren and Normani are in talks to reunite. The Hollywood Reporter suggests that the reunion won't include Camila, who has topped the charts with tracks like Havana since leaving the group.
She had released two albums with the group, including their debut Reflection in 2015, and then later 7/27 the following year. Camila however had already left by the time the group's third album Fifth Harmony was released in 2017.
It's reported that the reformed Fifth Harmony have big plans for next year, which marks the 10th anniversary of Camila's departure. It will also have been ten years since 7/27, which included Work from Home, one of their biggest tracks.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, sources have said the group are working on a documentary about their return to the stage. The outlet adds that the potential project would "capture footage on a yet-to-be-announced tour".
The news comes more than seven years on from Ally, Dinah, Lauren and Normani announcing in March 2018 that they would take a break from Fifth Harmony. Like former bandmate Camila, all four of them have released solo music since.
At the time, the four members told fans: "Reflecting on the past six years since we started on X-Factor, we've realised just how far we've come and we appreciate everything so much, more now than ever. We've really had one hell of a memorable journey together and can't begin to express our gratitude to y'all for coming along with us on this wild ride!"
"After six years going hard, non stop, we also realised that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we do need to take some time for now to go on a hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavours."
The statement continued: "We are all very excited and grateful to be able to take this time to learn and grow creatively and really find our footing as individuals. In doing this we are allowing ourselves to gain new experiences, strengths and perspectives that we can bring back to our Fifth Harmony family."
Fifth Harmony concluded by writing at the time: "To our Harmonizers, thank you for everything we have been able to build as Fifth Harmony. With your love and encouragement we will continued to build on ourselves, support one another in everything we do, and keep making you proud, each other proud and ourselves proud. We do have some upcoming shows through the end of the years which will still happen as planned, and we can't wait!"

EXCLUSIVE Mystery as Simon Cowell fails to attend Mel B's wedding after gearing up for an awkward reunion with rival music manager Simon Fuller
Simon Cowell failed to make an appearance at Mel B 's wedding to her partner Rory McPhee in London on Saturday. The Spice Girl, 50, and the hair stylist, 38, said 'I do' at St Paul's Cathedral surrounded by A-list guests, including Emma Bunton, Cara Delevingne and Katherine Ryan. However, there was a mystery on their special day as MailOnline understands that Britain's Got Talent boss Cowell, 65, was not in attendance. It is believed that the music mogul had RSVPed to attend the glitzy ceremony, but was nowhere in sight when Mel walked down the aisle. Cowell had planned to attend with his fiancée Lauren Silverman, and the reason for their unexpected absence is not known. Friends Cowell and Mel have known each other for many years, having both served as judges on The X Factor and America's Got Talent. Mel recently revealed that Cowell 'fired' her from AGT, but proved there was no bad blood when she returned for the show's 20th anniversary season earlier this year. MailOnline has contacted Cowell's representatives for comment. Cowell's absence comes after the Mail revealed that he was set to rub shoulders with rival music manager Simon Fuller at Mel's wedding. The bride was thought to have invited both of the warring music managers, who have been enemies for decades, to her nuptials in what could have been an awkward reunion. Fuller, 65, is regarded as the most successful British music mogul of all time and managed The Spice Girls at their height – which allegedly drew deep jealousy from Cowell, also 65, who had turned the group down. The pair clashed when Pop Idol creator Fuller launched a £100million lawsuit against Cowell after he set up similarly formatted The X Factor. They reached a settlement but the battle erupted again in 2011 over producer credits. A source said before the wedding: 'I'm sure everyone involved will behave impeccably.' Mel looked every inch the blushing bride as she exchanged vows with her new husband Rory in a stunning ceremony. Scary Spice looked gorgeous a pearl-adorned white gown and flashed a radiant smile after becoming the new Mrs McPhee. Mel's gown featured a sheer illusion design adorned with white pearls and a ruched bodice, with the singer adding a flowing veil to her bridal look. Meanwhile, groom Rory, 37, opted for traditional Scottish attire complete with a red and green tartan kilt. The newlyweds appeared blissfully happy and shared a sweet kiss for the gathered crowds as they joined their friends and family in leaving the historic venue. Mel ditched her famous leopard print and opted for a traditional white wedding at the cathedral which was followed by a lavish £28,000 reception at The Shard. Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl in attendance, and she led the celebrity guests in leaving the venue after watching Mel walk down the aisle for the third time. While their other bandmates Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm were absent on the big day - Emma ensured she was there to support her friend. Mel was holding back tears as the newlyweds shared a tender moment together Ginger Spice Geri, 52, has so far not mentioned the wedding on her social media while Sporty Spice Mel C, 51, and Posh Spice Victoria, 51, both shared sweet tributes. Posh, 51, took to Instagram to share a sweet black and white throwback of herself and the bride with bandmates Geri, Mel C and Emma. She captioned the snap: 'Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx' Meanwhile, Mel C shared a photograph of the newlyweds and gushed in a caption: 'So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!' Geri's no show is said to be down to hers and Mel's tempestuous relationship. The two women went to war after Mel revealed during an interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out. Geri was deeply upset by the revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised. Also in attendance on Mel B's big day was the bride's sister Danielle Brown, Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan and Gaby Roslin, among others. Meanwhile, Mel's children Phoenix Chi, Madison and Angel Iris were all smiles as they arrived to see their mother walk down the aisle. Mel shares her Phoenix, 26, with her first husband Jimmy Gulzar, Angel, 18 - who is a transgender man - with Eddie Murphy. She welcomed her youngest child, daughter Madison, 13, with her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte. Another notable guest was Mel's beloved Yorkshire Terrier Cookie, who was said to be the ring bearer at the ceremony. The Spice Girl will be joined by her guests for a meal, drinks and dancing at the Shangri-La venue inside the building which boasts 95 floors and promises panoramic views over the capital. There her friends and family will dance into the small hours as the 'party of the century' has been promised by the bride and groom. The Shard stands at 309.6 metres tall and has 95 floors, making it the tallest building in the UK and the fourth tallest in Europe and has in the past held many showbiz parties, including Sony Music's post BRITs bash. Mel confirmed she was tying the knot with Rory back in November 2022 after three years of dating after he got down on one knee with a £100k diamond ring. The singer has credited Rory for making her feel 'more confident than ever'. The couple have known each other for years, with Rory having been a family friend and has worked as her hair stylist. It is the third time that Mel will say 'I do' after first marrying Dutch backing dancer Jimmy in 1998. And when she wed Stephen in 2007, they eloped to Las Vegas before holding a vow renewal in Egypt the following year. Mel and Stephen separated in 2016 when she accused him of emotional and physical abuse, which he has always denied. His lawyers said that during the marriage they spent her £50million fortune. Mel grew close to Rory after the breakdown of her marriage to Stephen.

If you haven't already guessed by the surname... Lucy is the niece of singer Ray Quinn, who competed on the singing competition in 2006. Ray finished as the runner-up to Leona Lewis on the third series. Ahead of entering the villa, Lucy was asked what is the one thing people are most surprised to learn about her. She then made the confession about her famous relative, saying: "Ray Quinn is my uncle!" The blonde beauty is hoping to catch the eye of one boy in particular. She said: "I want to find someone. I have my eye on one boy, Tommy. "I think he's just a lovely lad and he's got good morals. "I've been watching at home with my mum and dad. My dad said 'I think you should pick him.' So I want to listen to my dad on that one. Opening up about how she'd feel to turn one of the lads head, she said: "I don't really mind doing that because I'm not going in there to make mates, I'm going in there to find someone. Love Island's Harry is left stunned as ex-girlfriend arrives in first look at Casa Amor "If I need to step on someone's toes, I will . If someone else can't understand that, then I'll have to have a conversation with them to talk it out." Last night Harry was left stunned as his ex-girlfriend arrived in the villa in the first look at Casa Amor. The fan-favourite part of the show sees a whole host of stunning bombshells introduced to test the current Islanders. Viewers saw Meg announcing the imminent arrival of six new female bombshells. The new girls made their way to the villa, where they greeted the boys from the terrace. But upon seeing them, Harry could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." It comes as The Sun revealed the identity of Harry's ex-girlfriend - after fans spotted a secret tribute to her. The Sun uncovered that the woman is named Emma, after viewers noticed Harry's wrist tattoo of the letter 'E' and began digging for clues online. Emma previously shared a sunset selfie to Instagram, where she was seen cosying up to Harry in matching baseball caps, hers bearing an "E" and, his, an "H". The image, which has since been deleted, was dated 18 April 2022. Emma also bears a striking resemblance to one of Harry's co-stars, sparking comparisons from fans who claim she looks 'more like Shakira than Helena', Harry's current partner in the villa. The 30-year-old has been at the centre of much villa drama throughout the current series. Fans previously branded him a "gaslighter" and demanded he be removed.
