Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes enjoyed an impromptu The Saturdays reunion as they attended the ITV Palooza on Tuesday night.
The former bandmates, both 33, looked thrilled as they enjoyed a catch up while leaving the star-studded event, held at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
The duo shot to fame as part of the chart-topping pop group in the late 00s, but have since both turned their hand to the world of television – with Frankie a regular panellist on Loose Women and Rochelle a stand-in presenter for This Morning.

Frankie has been married to former Chelsea and England footballer Wayne Bridge, 42, since 2014 and the couple have two sons together; Parker, nine, and Carter, seven.
Rochelle tied the knot with former JLS star turned DJ and presenter Marvin Humes, 37, in 2012 and the pair have three children; daughters Alaia-Mai, nine, and Valentina, five, and son Blake, two.
Rochelle previously dashed hopes of a Saturdays reunion by saying she ‘couldn’t imagine’ being in the pop group – also featuring Una Healy, 41, Mollie King, 35, and Vanessa White, 33 – again.
Speaking last year, she said: ‘We all see each other, but we’ve not had a conversation about that. I just can’t imagine doing that again.’

Last month, Una confirmed she would be keen to reunite the band and said the comeback would be ‘possible without one member’.
She told The Sun: ‘I would love to do something with the girls again. I’m ready for it, any time. If the phone call came to say, “You’re going back on tour in six months,” I’d be like, “Yes, absolutely, bring it on.”
‘It is possible to do it without one member but I think if it was two or three, I don’t think The Saturdays would be The Saturdays.
‘If there was one that didn’t want to, we wouldn’t force them into it and it’s their decision, but it would be so lovely if it was all five of us.’

The ITV Palooza sees the best and brightest stars from the network come together to unveil its upcoming slate of shows for advertisers.
This year’s Palooza also came on the same day that ITV rebranded its channels, ahead of the launch of its streaming service ITVX next month.
The new idents and branding also include the flagship channel ITV returning to its previous name of ITV1 to ‘give more equal footing to broadcast and streaming, with ITV1 and ITVX as ITV’s key viewer destinations.’
‘We are using the launch of ITVX this Autumn as a moment to give ITV’s broadcast channels a modern and fresh update too,’ said Jane Stiller, chief marketing officer at ITV.

‘This is all driven by a future where both broadcast and streaming will be equally crucial parts of how viewers engage with us.’
‘Viewers will see what we do in broadcast and streaming as much more joined up and we will be able to seamlessly cross promote across the platforms enabling greater content discovery,’ Stiller continued.
‘Everything will look and feel modern and relevant, with each platform or channel having a simple twist.
‘This approach will flow into our new idents too, which are created to reflect and connect with modern Britain.’
New role: Frankie is now a regular panellist on Loose Women and has two sons Parker, nine, and Carter, seven, with former Chelsea and England footballer husband Wayne Bridge, 42
‘We have an exciting autumn in store for viewers, whether that’s I’m A Celebrity, The World Cup or the launch of ITVX with more new free content than anywhere else, so it feels like no better time to refresh our branding across the breadth of what we do.’
Jed Carter, Design Director, DixonBaxi added: ‘It’s been an amazing experience working with ITV Marketing and ITV Creative on this ambitious refresh.
‘A single coherent design system – bursting with personality – unites ITVX and ITV’s channels.
‘A unified approach to logos, colour, typography, voice and motion connects the family of brands to create one connected brand experience while allowing each brand to express its own unique personality.’
