The band’s official social media page released a video of a VHS labelled ‘Busted’ going into an old-fashioned TV.

The group’s logo then appeared on the screen with the post captioned with the date “23/03/23” and the hashtag “#Busted20”.

Many fans were hopeful the post meant not just a new tour but new music from the boys too.

One wrote: “I hope this is a new album I can hear!!”

Another said: “I am so hyped for this, can’t wait it’s going to be amazing!!!”

It is 20 years since the release of the first album, simply titled Busted, which sold more than 1.2million copies and went quadruple platinum in the UK.

They celebrated the milestone earlier this year writing: “Our band is 20 years old and we are now on TikTok because the clock is definitely tiktoking.”

Busted were famous for songs including What I Go To School For, Air Hostess and Year 3000.

The group are all a lot older now – James and Matt are both 39 and Charlie, who appeared on The Masked Singer this year, is 37.

All of the group bar Charlie were in McBusted – which also comprised McFly’s Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd – from 2013 to 2015.

However, Charlie had preferred to concentrate on his rock band Fightstar but after appearing on the Masked Singer it appears his resistance has softened.

Asked if they could get back together by Lorraine Kelly he said: “So… there may be some plans.”
