IT was the teen comedy that the nation fell in love with when it first debuted back in 2008.
And fans have been crying out for a reunion ever since the final incarnation of the franchise back in 2014.
The Sun recently told how Joe Thomas, 40, who played Simon, said all the main cast would be keen to get back together a decade on from the last movie.
The actor indicated another film is likelier than a new TV series, and would see the lads far removed from school — where the characters were when the Channel 4 sitcom began in 2008.
But alongside the lads were the equally as notable girls. But will any of them be back for the brand new flick and what have they been up to since the hit comedy show…
Emily Atack
She has become a household name[/caption]
Arguably the most famous star to come out of the hit comedy series is not even one of the four lads.
The 34-year-old has been a mainstay on TV screens and in magazines since her time on the show having enjoyed a slew of acting, reality TV and even presenting roles.
Shortly after the series drew to a close, Emily was signed up for ITV skating show Dancing on Ice.
Not shy of a reality show or two, she also had an impressive stint Down Under when she became a runner-up on I’m A Celebrity back in 2018.
Since 2020, she has been the star of her own comedy show The Emily Atack Show and recently became a first-time mum when she welcomed a baby, Barney James, with her partner, Alistair Garner.
Over the years, Emily has been linked to many famous men before she settled down with Alistair.

Her acting career has flourished since the show[/caption]
Two famous Emily’s sprung from the hit E4 comedy with actress Emily Head making a name for herself on the programme as Simon’s love interest, Carli D’Amato.
Daughter of the actor Anthony Head, Emily has bagged a fleet of impressive roles since her time on the innuendo-filled comedy show.
Away from the comedy, Emily is most well known for her time in ITV soap operaEmmerdale.
She appeared as Rebecca White for two years and found herself involved in a slew of hard-hitting plot lines.
Rebecca was left with a brain injury after being caught up in a huge car crash with her family that claimed the lives of her sister and father.
Elsewhere, Emily more recently appeared in top BBC drama The Syndicate in the main role of Colette Andrews.
Jayne Wisener

Her brief role became one of the show’s most popular[/caption]
Aged just 22 at the time of her stint on the show, Jayne became famous for appearing in the iconic “fiesty one you are” episode of the show.
In the often-quoted episode, Will finds himself falling for Jayne’s character Lauren Harris – even though she has the hots for his best mate Simon.
While sitting at lunch, Lauren starts taking a bigger interest in Simon, causing Will to make a desperate attempt to turn her head – by doing an awkwardly bad impression of Star Wars’ Yoda.
‘Feisty one, you are,’ he tells her repeatedly.
Whilst she has had a handful of roles since then, it was that cameo that has become one of the most defining moments of her career.
Speaking to London Beautiful Life, Jayne – who lives in County Antrim in Northern Ireland, said she was surprised that episode had become a ‘cult classic’.
She said: “When I landed the role in The Inbetweeners I was so, so delighted with myself.
“I didn’t quite expect it to be the cult classic it has now become and years later there are generations later coming up to me saying ‘feisty one you are and I am like ‘ok’…It is mad, mad.”
Jayne, 37, also had a star turn as Johnny Depp’s daughter in 2007 film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, as well as appearances on the West End stage and is now a married mum-of two.
Hannah Tointon

Hannah bagged more than a top acting gig when she joined The Inbetweeners – she found herself a husband.
Having played Tara Brown on the show, she was a love interest for Simon during one of the latter series.
However, two years later, it was revealed that the pair were in fact romancing one another in real life.
In 2017 the couple became engaged before later going on to welcome their first child together in 2022.
She further starred alongside her hubby on screens once more when she played the role of Caitlin in his 2018 film The Festival.

4 weeks agoNews TopicsComments Off on Five clues Oasis were secretly plotting reunion – did you spot them all?
The news of the Oasis reunion has been billed as one of the biggest comebacks of the rock world with fans in a frenzy over bagging a ticket.
While the announcement of brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reuniting after a 15-year hiatus sent shockwaves around the rock world, some supersonic super sleuths believe the signs were pointing to a reunion long before it was announced.

Noel Gallagher and his brother have agreed to reunite for a series of shows in 2025[/caption]
The feuding brothers famously parted ways in 2009 following several very public spats.
Now the duo have put their differences aside to bring the iconic band back to the stage with a set of shows for nextsummer, including headlining Glastonbury and a 14-gig comeback tour next summer.
The 400 million pound question is: Did you spot the signs before it was announced?
CLUE 1: Liam’s photoshoot tease
Liam told fans about a reunion photoshoot more than a month ago, even teasing he was with his older brother on the day. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “Brothers n Sisters” on July 24 before follower ”billie with the lights up!’ asked: “Morning leeeeyum, what’s the plan for today.”
Liam replied by stating: “Photo shoot.”
After several tweets in the same thread asking him about his childhood, one fan asked: “Can you tell the time,” with Liam replying: “Yeah it’s SHOWTIME.”
CLUE 2: Tweet to a fan
In another post on X five days ago, before the news was announced, Liam seemed to hint he didn’t like being an ex-band member of Oasis.
He teased fans saying: “I never did like that word former.”
One fan replied: “Liam don’t play with my emotions,” while another said: “oh god it’s happening it’s ACTUALLY happening!”
Speculation also started swirling last Friday when Liam, 51, quickly deleted another post about his brother Noel, 57, saying: “Let’s not fall out before it’s even begun.”
CLUE 3: Gene lets slip
Liam’s son Gene sparked curiosity when he spoke to the Sunday Time Style about a possible Oasis reunion, saying: “I get the feeling my dad wants it too. Let’s hope it happens.”[/caption]
Liam Gallagher’s 23-year-old son Gene hinted at the Oasis reunion three weeks before the UK tour was announced.
Speaking to the Sunday Times Style, he mentioned that he’s close with his uncle Noel’s daughter Anaïs.
Describing the group as “one big happy family,” he noted they often joke about an Oasis reunion.
When asked if Oasis could be getting back together, Gene said: “Nothing to do with me.”
“I mean, will they? I don’t know. I would love it but it’s so beyond my control.”
He added: “I get the feeling my dad wants it too. Let’s hope it happens.”
CLUE 4: Liam’s dedication
At this year’s Reading Festival earlier this month, Liam dropped several hints about a prospective reunion between him and his brother.
The singer dedicated his performance of the Oasis track “Half The World Away” to his estranged brother, leaving fans exploding with excitement that a reunion may be on the cards.
CLUE 5: Anias’ secret sign
Noel’s daughter Anais caused another fan frenzy after posting a picture from the end of the Blossoms gig she was at with friends at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on Sunday.
The Stockport-based English indie rock band have been long-time supporters of Noel and the High Flying Birds, the rock band formed in 2010 as Noel’s solo moniker.
The band ran a teaser at end of their gig, showing their support for the yet-to-be-announced reunion by cryptically posting the date 27.08.24 followed by 8 am.
Anais’s followers went wild, with one saying: “You said yourself (at some radio show) that could never happen again for reasons you couldn’t disclose! As the Backstreet Boys said, Quit playing games with my heart!” Another said: What do you know Anais?”
Following the announcement of their return in 2025, music industry expert Professor Jonathan Shalit OBE, chairman of talent agency InterTalent, told The Sun the reunion could easily rake in more than £400million.
He said: “With tickets, sponsorship, merchandise and filming, I would predict an income for Noel and Liam of over £50million each.”
“This is a tour that could easily gross over £400million.”
The upcoming tour is anticipated to be the most in-demand tour in British concert history.

4 weeks agoNews TopicsComments Off on My hair went from unmanageable to amazing with a cheap 2-oil routine – there’s lots of regrowth and it’s shinier, too
HELP is on the way for those whose unruly locks need a lifesaving solution – in the form of two affordable products.
After being fed up with her hard-to-manage mane, a woman finally found the routine that restored the growth and shine she had been waiting for.

Redditor Sinistersweetness11 shared how she got herself out of a hairy solution in just two steps.
“For me, it was having a prewash hair treatment before I shower. I had/have really unmanageable hair,” she said.
Growing up poor, she had become accustomed to using two-for-one shampoos, and they weren’t doing her frizz any favors.
Even when she upgraded to other products, nothing did the hair-taming trick.
“It didn’t seem to matter what I put on it, it would just frizz out and I felt really terrible about it,” she said.
After years of trying various treatments, she didn’t notice any dramatic difference.
That was all about to change, however, when she came across a video on TikTok featuring someone’s life-changing pre-wash routine.
“Once a week she puts castor oil on her roots for growth, then puts jasmine oil on the lengths,” she said.
She was super impressed with the TikToker’s results which didn’t require a hefty price tag.
“She showed the before and after on her hair, and given the products were cheap on Amazon, I got them,” she said.
She certainly didn’t regret the buys that helped her find her way out of what felt like an unmanageable mane maze.
“And now my hair is amazing,” she said.
“It doesn’t frizz, I have a lot of regrowth, and it’s so much stronger and shinier,” she added.
Others shared their own favorite tips they followed from within the online beauty community.
“I just learned about this from my MIL! She uses Lubriderm to remove her makeup and gets it off in a fraction of the time it takes me with micellar water and a wipe/cloth,” said a Redditor.
“Using an oil-based cleanser on dry skin before using your normal cleanser! Game changer. Oil removes all the oil and dirt and leftover makeup on your skin,” said another.
“Then you just follow up with your normal cleanser you use with water,” they added.
“Double cleansing, eyeshadow blending, and the importance of wearing sunscreen every single day,” a user chimed in.
“I wish I’d known more of the skincare side of things sooner, but mid-20s is better late than never!” they continued.
