Terry Coldwell of pop group East 17 has said he doubts a reunion of the band's original line up "will ever happen".

Now living in Hemel Hempstead, he still performs live shows with East 17, though he is the only founding member.

When asked if the band could reunite for the 30th anniversary of 1994 number one Stay Another Day, he revealed: "No-one talks in the band, not one member."

The father-of-six added: "As you get older you have to be on the same page and we're just not on the same page."

"I've tried getting the band together so many times, spent so much energy doing it, but it's never come about," he added.

Mr Coldwell, 49, also said he put "a lot of blood sweat and tears" into East 17 during the last 10 years and did not want to disappoint the newer members.

Robbie Craig, previously the singer of the Artful Dodger, and Joe Livermore, a break-dancer and film stuntman, now complete the current East 17 line up.
