HOWEVER. There was a big question mark hovering over whether star of the show Meryl Streep would be returning to the franchise.
But today, Pierce Brosnan has revealed the answer... Last warning - spoilers ahead!
Pierce revealed, "I just got the call one day to say, 'We’re on!' I asked if Amanda was doing it, they said, 'Yes', I asked if Meryl was doing it, they said, 'Yes' so I said 'I’m in!'"
Phillip Schofield couldn't contain himself, and immediately drew attention to the clanger, saying, "You did a bit of a spoiler. I don't know if you realised you just did a bit of a spoiler," causing Pierce to look confused as Holly told him not to panic.
Phil added, "We were keeping many things secret. Maybe I should let it go and if you spotted what the spoiler was well done."

But light-hearted Pierce moved swiftly on, even poking fun at his singing abilities, "Funnily enough I don’t sing as much in this one as I did in the last one - I don’t know why that is!"
And Amanda added that she would "never say never" on the possibility of a third film.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is released in UK cinemas on 20th July 2018.
