On seeing her band mates during lockdown, she said: ‘We all went up to Geri’s, she’s got a lovely place in the countryside and we all hung out.
‘It was all five of us, which is quite a rarity. I think it’s been about two years since we were all back together and it was so nice.
She added: ‘We just hung out and reminisced, had a cup of tea and a walk. So it was lovely.’
