He’s always dressed a bit weird…I thought he was walking a bit funny :-0

When I think off him winning Pop Idol I always think of my Mum.

We used to phone each other when the show was on cos she was rooting for Gareth Gates :-D

His Grandfather died young at 50....I did wonder how he died ....people back then never talked about their experiences during the war .....sometimes it was too overwelming....he said his father never spoke much about him and that he came across as a"loser" which I thought was strange as he was far from that:-0 :-0 :-0

Well he was around 21/22 when he did pop idol….I loved his voice then..very natural…then albums he released later I thought were a bit manufactured :-0

**Ann** Report 4 Jun 2025 19:58

Yes it was quite sad to hear him say that :-(

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 4 Jun 2025 19:59
