Speaking to Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, the US girlband explained that in the last ten years a lot has changed, in the music world, society and in their private lives, too.

Nicole added: "We feel different as we are different. We’re women, we’ve all had extraordinary experiences, and lives.
"And we are happier as well, you do evolve and it is about self love, as well."
Ashley added: "A lot of time has passed, we’ve matured we’ve grown up and we are coming together as women with all that extra experience."
The girls added that their tour, scheduled for April next year, will feature "new music and a lot of new surprises", and that fans who have seen them before know they put on a great show - and this will be no different.
Hilariously, the band said that rehearsals felt like "riding an old bike".
Ashley explained: "We get to have the iconic music and the nostalgia, but put a little twist on it.
"In rehearsals we were all standing there and the music came on and we all started doing the movements together."
Jessica said: "The show will be hotter than ever."
