Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow have taken part in a spoof Friends reunion on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show in the US.

Jennifer appeared on the chat show to talk about her new film Life Of Crime, before the comedian told her he was a big fan of the hit 90s sitcom and had written some fan fiction inspired by the characters.

The actress then agreed to play her former character Rachel Green and read the script written by Jimmy, in which he would play Ross Geller, Rachel's on-off boyfriend, played by David Schwimmer originally.

Friends ran for 10 years until 2004 and was a huge hit all over the world. There had been many rumours about a possible reunion this year to mark the 20th anniversary of the NBC show's premiere, and even a possible Friends movie, but the cast have all poured cold water on the hype.
