Jordan Stephens and Harley Sylvester, better known as Rizzle Kicks, reunited on KISS FM UK to present The Up, filling in for usual presenters Harriet and Henrie. Not only did they treat us to two hours of fantastic tunes, including some of their own, they also told fans "they're back".

"We're here again, as a duo, talking, existing, making things..." they confirmed. "We haven't been here, we've been doing other things for a decade! But not everybody knows what we've been doing for the last 10 years."

Both Jordan and Harley went on to open up about what they've been doing. Admitting they've had breakdowns, as well as Harley welcoming two kids and Jordan being in a relationship with Jade Thirlwall from Little Mix.

The duo also chatted about downtimes they've had recently, with Jordan revealing he suffers from insomnia, having struggled to sleep several nights that week.

During the show, Jordan also revealed that the duo were in the same studio as Pharrell when he recorded his hit 'Happy'! Jordan explained: "Me and Harley, 2013, fly to Miami to work with Pharrell! Crazy. We were in the studio for 'Happy'.

"People know this right? We were in the studio when he recorded 'Happy'. I want everyone to know."

Harley added: "We could technically claim on that."

Jordan continued: "You could hear me breathing..."

Following their show on KISS, Rizzle Kicks have started a countdown on social media, leaving many fans very excited. A few days ago they posted the photo with a hand with four fingers in the air, now at the time of writing, the duo have tried to change their profile pic to just one finger, suggesting an announcement is imminent on 14th August.
