Thankfully it seems that he has managed to cultivate some powers of discernment since then -- which is handy, seeing as he got himself a job on the jury in the 2007 Miss Germany competition.

If he was still hung up on Erica, Jessica, Sandra and Rita, then it could have been a very long evening indeed…

At hometown gigs in Dublin we heard that the bright stage lights turned the suits semi-transparent putting their underwear on show. For the record Shane wears boxers and Kian wears briefs.

Not only was Joe a pop pin-up, he was also an accidental mystic healer.

A 3-year-old girl who had been autistic for her entire life was watching a New Kids concert with her older siblings when she suddenly snapped into lucidity, grabbed her mother by the arm and drawled out her first words: “I want Joe.”

He was asked a few years ago at the launch of a swanky London bar by Mutya Sugababe what he’d been up to of recent.

Bradley’s reply? “Keeping it real”.

Really not very good at all.
