BEN MILLS. Remember him? The fella who came third in X Factor after being tipped to win from the start.
He was a gravel-voiced rocker with flowing locks and was revealed to be the coke-snorting wildman of the wedding singing circuit.
Well, he’s about to make his big launch with debut single Beside You. Beside You? I’m beside myself with disappointment.
Think watered-down BRYAN ADAMS, BON JOVI with a touch of RONAN KEATING.
Guitar solos, some roaring vocals and middle-of-the-road monotony. Rubbish.
He promised to have his locks shorn. In reality he had a couple of inches teased off the end and looks like celeb crimper NICKY CLARKE’s long-lost brother.
