Singer Will Young was a co-host alongside Harriet Scott on the Magic Radio Breakfast Show this week and exclusively revealed that he has a very unexpected new neighbour!
Teasing Harriet that he had a big ‘pop culture’ moment to announce he revealed that:
‘I recently moved to the countryside and I love it, my dogs love it, everyone’s happy. I haven’t been there very long in this new place – it’s not a big town - and I get the train down from London, I get in the cab and this is how I found out who else lives in this town when the cabbie says to me, ‘Oh are you going to Gareth Gates’ house?’
Gareth Gates lives in the same town I’ve just moved to! What are the chances that the two people in the final of Pop Idol – 23 years on – end up living in the same town. I think we’re going to turn up at the local talent show and I’m going to take him on again and I’m going to win – absolutely!! I haven’t messaged him yet because I’ve been rushing around but he’ll know now. And I’m trying to find out where his house is!!’
Will is joining Harriet again next week to co-host Magic Radio Breakfast so make sure that you tune in next week to find out if he’s not only managed to track down his fellow Pop Idol finalist but if he really has challenged him to that local singing contest!
