Despite undergoing line-up changes and evolving into The Fizz due to legal wrangles among the original members, the band has continued to entertain fans.
Following Mike Nolan's departure last year for personal reasons, Cheryl and Jay now perform with Nikk Mager and Matthew Pateman as The Fizz.
Bobby G's exit from Bucks Fizz was attributed to a complex blend of factors, including solo career ambitions, disputes over the band's name, and legal battles with fellow bandmates, reports the Mirror.
At the WhichBingo Awards, Cheryl shared her enthusiasm about the upcoming documentary, stating: "Someone is making a documentary of us."
"They have been filming us, including Mike Nolan's last gig, so hopefully in the not to distant future you'll be seeing a biopic of Fizz. How great is that?".
Cheryl also disclosed that The Fizz has been rejuvenated with the addition of Nikk and Matthew, giving the group a fresh "lease of life".
Reflecting on the past, she noted the shift in the band's focus, saying: "The beauty now I think is we're not chasing the charts because back then everything was about the charts, promoting new singles, promoting a new album plus other people were putting everything together.
"We were like four puppets to be honest in the 1980s and now we're in control of our own destiny and we still record but we record what we want, when we want. The gigs we do are so much fun.
"I must big up Matthew and Nikk who've joined me and Jay from Bucks Fizz because they are fabulous and their voices are wonderful as well as their energy and enthusiasm, and it ups your game when you're working with people that are so good. It's like a new lease of life with for the band and I'm really enjoying it."
Despite being in show business for over four decades, Cheryl, 71, confirmed she has no plans to retire.
Sharing the secret behind her successful career, she said: "By keeping working and keeping your name in the frame.
"I was very lucky because post-Eurovision I went into television and because of that my face became familiar throughout the nineties and then in the noughties I started working again with The Fizz and doing reality TV shows.
"There are peers of mine that have retired but I've got no intension of retiring, I have too much fun."
