‘We love being in the studio. Obviously, we have had to use social distancing measures, so it’s not quite been the normal process.’
And Marvin added: ‘Our chemistry is the same. It’s like we never actually left.’
The Beat Again hitmakers, who shot to fame on the 2008 series of The X Factor, also admitted they would be open to offers from Simon Cowell to sign them to his Syco label, despite the music mogul signing Alexandra Burke instead of them after the show.

Marvin said: ‘He gave us the opportunity and the reason why we are where we are today.
‘But he did pass on us first time around, which I’m sure he regrets. Whenever we see each other we always joke about it.’
But added it would have to be an ‘offer [they] can’t refuse’.
JLS were due to embark on their reunion tour in November but were forced to postpone due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It has since been rescheduled to June and July of 2021.

In the band’s statement, they wrote: ‘With regret we’ve had to make the decision to reschedule our JLS Beat Again tour to June 2021 as ensuring the safety of our incredible fans, crew and venue staff is our main priority.
‘Our reunion tour is such a monumental moment for us as a band that we want to make sure we are able to give the best show possible.
‘Given the amount of time and preparation it takes to produce an event of such scale we’ve had to postpone to a time that permits us to do so.
‘We can’t wait to see you all next year and thank you for your patience and endless support.’
