Do you do heads or tails to see who gets top bunk
0:02
Oh, I don't think so anymore. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think so anymore
0:09
They are back after 25 years in the same room. It's five
0:17
Oh, my gosh. How does it feel? It feels surreal. It feels completely natural
0:22
And it feels absolutely amazing. Oh, my God. So when was the last time that you guys all got together
0:28
So it's 2001 was the last time we was on a stage together
0:33
and we're now in 2025. So that's a long, long time. Yeah, it's unbelievable, but amazing
0:38
You've aged like a fine wine, Scott. So have you. Thank you, mate. Now that we saw you, Richie
0:43
in the documentary Boy Bands Forever recently and it was a very frank, very honest reminder
0:50
of what it was like in the time. Why go back? Because there were times when you said that you really weren't
0:54
you didn't think this was a good idea. You know, we were young. There was a lot of schedules that were crazy and stuff like that
1:01
But a big part of it is to, you know, we've been scratching our heads for two decades going, what was that
1:06
And, you know, it was a strange experience. So this is about putting it right and getting out there and ripping it up again
1:12
Well, I think that the common theme with all bands across the board is that it's shattering
1:17
It's hard work. You're in each other's company sort of 24-7. That's difficult for anyone to cope with
1:23
Yeah I mean I think we handled it quite well to be honest We come back We done what we had to do And I think just more of that more of that Just the unity is nice to come back with Yeah it can be tough but I think we can help each other get through
1:37
The other thing I'm going to ask you is obviously you're a lot older. Do you still have the moves? Are you on your sonatogen
1:44
I can tell you that we will be busting all the moves. The knees might have ice baths after
1:50
but I can guarantee you the moves are coming out in force. We're spending a lot of money on paramedics at the side of the stage
1:57
So John's ambulance is going to be very busy. I remember also in that Boy Bands Forever documentary
2:02
Simon Cowell, who, of course, signed you back when it was nearly 30 years ago. I think he described it as you were the ones that got away
2:09
and he said you could have been, you know, you were the ones that could have gone on to break America
2:14
Yeah, well, we went plant them in the States, and we were 24 or 26 weeks in the top 10 with our first single
2:20
and then, you know, for various reasons it didn't happen. A lot to do with our attitude
2:26
because you'll remember we had quite an attitude back in the day. I didn't want to say anything
2:32
I don't remember anything. Sell the tour, Rich. Sell the tour. Sell the tour
2:36
So, yeah, but, you know. Well, let's talk about the tour. How many shows are in this tour
2:41
12 dates at the moment. It starts 31st October in Brighton. Fantastic. Is there going to be any new music
2:48
we haven't got that far yet we're just really really hyper focused on the
2:53
toss smashing the show out all the hits all the moves couple of paramedics job done we are having it well listen I tell you what we have had so many questions I going to kick off straight away with Jake He says your music was such a huge part of my childhood
3:07
Do you have a song that you're most proud of? I'll put that to you, Richie
3:11
Yeah, for me, actually, it would be Keep On Moving because it's the song that many people have stopped me in the street
3:17
and gone, I just want to tell you, that song got me through a bad time
3:22
And so, you know, that's kind of what you do it for, you know. to affect people in a positive way
3:27
Yeah, absolutely. Nathan's texted in. He says, if you could collaborate with any current artist
3:33
who would it be and why? Ooh, I've got this one. It'd have to be Teddy Swims, I think, right now at the moment
3:40
I think that would be amazing. I DM'd you. Get back to me, Teddy, quick. We've got to do a collab. I love that you've DM'd
3:46
Five swims. Five swims. Sophie wants to know which boy band did you secretly think
3:52
was your biggest competition back in the day and who would be your biggest competition today
3:57
None of them. We had none. I don't think we ever looked at it as competition
4:01
I mean, obviously, we were rivalled up against Westlife and secretly we were just having a laugh with them backstage
4:07
and lapping it up. But I would say it was always in our sort of naughty lane, really
4:13
so just stayed there. No, it would be Westlife. I mean, no, it's a little bit of blue
4:19
but again, we just get on with them really well. So it's all banter. Fantastic
4:23
Emma wants to know what is the weirdest fan interaction you ever had And let just remember this is a family show You going to give the weirdest ones fellas Maybe think about the third weird not first weird
4:37
I mean, I would say... Your hotel room? Yeah, well, one of the weirdest..
4:40
Oh, yeah, I went into my hotel room and there was just a fan there. In South America
4:45
Yeah, and I had to go and get security and get them out of my room. That wasn't good
4:49
And a moving present on a tour bus, and we were like, what's in here
4:54
opened it up and it was a hamster. A live hamster that we called
4:59
Arthur P. Scagnetti. Well remembered. That was the hamster's name. It got looked after
5:05
We don't know what happened after but we didn't hurt the hamster. I'm sure Arthur's not with us anymore
5:09
No hamster was harmed in the making of that tour. Children. You mentioned a tour
5:13
Is there going to be a tour bus on the new tour or are you going to be travelling together? Yeah, yeah, of course
5:18
We're going to travel together and, you know, sing the wheels on the bus and all that. I've got a spare bunk for you
5:22
as well for you, right, David? I was going to say, Do you do heads or tails to see who gets top bunk
5:26
I don't think so anymore. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think so anymore
5:33
Have we ever? Moving on this morning, ladies and gentlemen. It's so great to see you guys all back together again
