Girls Aloud set to perform at Royal Variety

It has been confirmed that Girls Aloud has been reportedly re-united to play this year's Royal Variety Performance in November.

Earlier this year, it has been announced that they were reforming for a 10-year anniversary tour and will be playing in front of Queen for a special documentary.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "Being asked to perform at the Royal Variety Show is massive for the band. They performed in 2004 when they were at the height of their fame so it's fitting that they would return eight years late.

"It will be one of the Queen's final engagements of a year which will have seen her Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics. So it’s a major scoop for the girls' comeback to be added to the bill."

The newspaper's insider added: "The weeks leading up to the big night will be captured in the documentary, which was given the green light by producers last month. The programme will also look at the group's rise to fame, their domination of the charts and their solo careers. It will also have new interviews with all five members."
