McBusted have confirmed their plans to record a new album following their tour which kicks off on April 17 in Glasgow.

The supergroup - comprised of McFly's Harry Judd, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter, as well as Busted's Matt Willis and James Bourne - contemplated "laying something down" before their tour, but were unable to do so due to personal commitments.

While they have all been busy with tour rehearsals, Tom and his wife Giovanna welcomed their first child Buzz into the world on March 13 and he has been trying to spend some quality time with the little one, while Matt has joined the cast of EastEnders as Stacey Branning's boyfriend Luke Riley.

Talking to London's Capital FM radio station, Harry said: "We were thinking of going in the studio and properly laying something down before the tour started."

"We've had no time because of Tom having his baby, the tour rehearsals and Matt's filming bits on 'EastEnders'. Everyone has been so busy."

The boys plan on working their new record following the tour which ends on June 2 in Dublin.

He added: "It will happen after the tour. We'll be writing on the road and hopefully soon after the tour we'll get in the studio."

The group formed last year, after Matt and James made a special guest appearance at McFly's tenth-anniversary concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in September 2013.
