N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos has said the hip-hop group plan to tour again in 2027.
Contostavlos, 37, rose to fame as the vocalist for the band, which had hits with songs including I Need You, Girls and Number 1, featuring Tinchy Stryder.
Three years ago, after an 11-year hiatus, she returned to the award-winning trio with cousin Dappy and their friend Fazer, for a reunion tour, which sold out in minutes.
Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Contostavlos said there will be more shows in 2027.
Asked if N-Dubz were planning more music, she replied: "There will be another round in 2027.
"I needed this year and some time off. We are nearly in 2026, and it's the next year."
The former X Factor judge was speaking at an event about her new book, Judgement, in which she talks about the high price of fame, more than a decade after her life was upended by a tabloid cocaine sting.
In 2013 undercover reporter "Fake Sheikh" Mazher Mahmood posed as a film producer and claimed the singer had said she would procure cocaine for him when he offered her a lead role in a film.
It led to the Camden-born singer being charged with being concerned in the supply of a class A drug, which she denied.
Her highly publicised trial collapsed the following year after a judge ruled it was likely that Mahmood had manipulated evidence and then lied under oath.
He was jailed for 15 months for conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
In the book Contostavlos gives her account of the newspaper sting, the trial and its aftermath.
She wrote her experiences in a diary during the trial, which she has held on to for nearly 12 years, and said she has enough material from that time to write a follow-up.
She said X Factor creator Simon Cowell was "great" at the time of the trial and afterwards invited her back on to the show as a guest judge.
"He even invited me up to Barbados with him and Lauren for a holiday. They were great and she’s amazing too," she added.
