Last night, it was reported Aniston - who recently split from husband of two years Justin Theroux - is set to take on maid of honour duties when Courteney Cox marries Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid this summer.

A source told the Mirror: ‘Courteney and Jennifer are thick as thieves and they have got even closer in recent months.

‘Courteney wouldn’t want to walk down the aisle without Jennifer by her side. They have a very strong friendship.’

In March, Cox revealed that she, Aniston and fellow Friends actress Lisa Kudrow are in an ongoing group text.

‘Lisa, Jennifer and I all have a text chain, but to me it's too much pressure. I'm not into the group text chain. I really don't like it!’ Cox told US Weekly.

Well, we’d certainly like to join, Courtney!
