We've put on every single item of clothing we own, are eating cheesecake off the floor and running round shouting 'Pivot'. Now what do we do? We wait until May 27 until the Friends special The One Where They Get Back Together drops.

HBO Max have finally confirmed the Friends reunion special but guess what? There's more famous faces on the bill. Joining Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer are guests including David Beckham, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Kit Harington, Tom Selleck and Reese Witherspoon.

Plus there's former Friends cast members Tom Selleck (Richard) and Maggie Wheeler (Janice), and Justin Bieber as Ross Geller’s “Spudnik” from The One With The Halloween Party.

The teaser video shows the six sitcom icons walking arm-in-arm, backs to the camera alongside a melancholy version of the brain-battering theme tune I’ll Be There for You by The Rembrandts. Oh how we wish we'd written that tune.

In the UK, the reunion special will air on Sky One on the same day, as well as on demand via NOW TV.

Courteney Cox aka Monica Geller, wrote on Instagram: “This kind of thing doesn’t happen every year, or even every 10 or 15 years. I feel so blessed to have had a chance to reunite with my Friends… and it was better than ever.”
