The pop group Five – Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon – have revealed that model and actress Cara Delevingne reached out to them following the announcement of their reunion tour. The band, known for hits such as Keep On Movin’, Everybody Get Up and Slam Dunk, will begin their arena tour at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff on 29 October.

Speaking to The Sun’s Bizarre column, Abz explained that Delevingne contacted the group directly. “Cara Delevingne is a fan. She reached out to us. We’re going to get her along to a show. It doesn’t get better than that,” he said. The invitation marks a highlight for the band, who were surprised by the enthusiasm surrounding their return.
In addition to celebrity support, the group have also enjoyed performing alongside major names. Scott Robinson recalled an unexpected on-stage moment with Robbie Williams in June. “You don’t say no when he asks you to come on and sing Keep On Movin’. We also heard some of his new songs live in the dressing room before the show,” he noted.

After initially selling out 12 dates, Five have now expanded their tour to 25 UK shows before heading to arenas in Australia and New Zealand. Despite the success, the band admitted to feeling pressure. Scott said he had doubts ahead of the first show, but the strong response reassured them. Sean added that they had been nervous about the industry’s reception, remembering how they were “quite misunderstood back in the day”.
