The Friends cast came together for the one-off non-scripted special back in May, which was the first time they had all been on TV together since the sitcom finished back in 2004. 

During the special, there were a number of revelations and surprises, including Lisa’s Smelly Cat duet with Lady Gaga and David’s Schwimmer’s admission that life nearly imitated art for himself and Jennifer Aniston. 

A number of guest stars including James Michael Tyler, Maggie Wheeler, Christina Pickles and Elliot Gould shared their special memories of the show, while there were also appearances from A-list fans including Justin Bieber, BTS, David Beckham and Malala Yousafzai.

Friends: The Reunion is still available to stream on NOW.
