Girls Aloud are reportedly planning to reunite for a new album without Cheryl Cole.
According to Heat magazine, Cheryl's fellow band-mates; Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding, Kimberley Walsh and Nadine Coyle have met up in the studio and are getting geared up for a 2012 tour to mark their 10th anniversary.
A source said: "The girls are very keen to reunite and start working on another album. Their main love is the band and they all feel ready to get back and start recording. But Cheryl can't commit to that right now."
Cheryl, who is constantly in the media for her un-confirmed role on the US version of the 'X Factor', has had huge success as a solo artist and may not be ready to join the girls on a group project.
The source added: "They're all very supportive of her, but they are concerned they could be left behind. They're also worried they might be hanging around forever if they wait for Cheryl."
Louis Walsh, who was involved with the girl group at the start of their career believes they could survive without Cheryl.
"Absolutely. Westlife became more successful without Brian McFadden, and the Spice Girls did it without Geri Halliwell."
