"Blue have reportedly only signed up for four nights of the Big Reunion tour. 5ive, Liberty X, B*Witched, Atomic Kitten, 911 and Honeyz will take part in the upcoming arena tour in May, after the successful ITV2 show comes to an end tonight (March 28).  However, Blue - who joined the show partway through the series - will only appear on four of the 12 shows during the tour, reports The Sun. Insiders close to the group claim that they almost snubbed the entire tour, as they wanted to focus on their own tour, which kicks off in September. A source said: &amp;quot;The boys were happy to appear in the show but there is a feeling they are too successful to be tagging along with the other bands. &amp;quot;ITV weren&amp;#039;t best pleased. Their priority is The Big Reunion and they think Blue&amp;#039;s priority is Blue.&amp;quot;  Blue joined the other Big Reunion bands for a one-off gig at London&amp;#039;s Hammersmith Apollo earlier this year, while they also appeared for a brief performance on Saturday Night Takeaway with Atomic Kitten, 5ive and Ant &amp;amp; Dec. Their spokesman said last night: &amp;quot;Blue will perform at four of The Big Reunion shows. They are unable to appear at the remaining dates because of prior commitments.&amp;quot; A source close to the show said: &amp;quot;We are pleased Blue can join the tour for some of the dates.&amp;quot; 5ive, Liberty X, 911, Honeyz and B*Witched will also play more dates in December as part of the &amp;#039;Big Reunion Christmas Party&amp;#039; tour, though Atomic Kitten have yet to commit to the tour. Blue will release their first album in ten years, Roulette, on April 15. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
