I watched all three episodes at the same time with a mate of mine who happens to be the ex of someone who was mentioned quite heavily in the programmes (no, not Robbie)
I was quite shocked at some of what she told me. I had no idea things were that bad tbh.
However the third programme I think it was where Blue featured just made me really angry and I spent the entire programme shouting at the TV
I spent a lot of time and a lot of money following Blue and got to know them quite well- which is why I will defend Lee Ryan to the ends of the earth. However any mention of Glatman just makes me really really angry

I told my friend the story in a previous episode about Lee and his stupid comment about 9/11 and she thought I was joking. She couldn’t believe it when they mentioned it in the programme!!!
I did enjoy reminiscing over Take That though. I was a massive TT fan when I was young- I met them twice and I’m on the ‘Satisfied’ vid on the Take That and Party video where it shows clips of fans at their album signings. I like to watch the video occasionally as my beloved late dad is on there with me.

20 mins left and there's no mention of Blazin Squad. The hold they had over me (after 5ive, of course) was unreal. I fear it may be a more niche adoration than I'd thought

Oh dear


I was utterly obsessed with Kenzie


I was at uni at the time and I bought a Man United top with his name on the back. It cost me silly money and then in my excitement at a concert I gave it to him

Omg Take That greeting their fans giving them a full on kiss on the lips

I’ll put this in a spoiler in case nobody’s seen the 3rd episode yet: apart from Duncan feeling he had to the hide the fact that he was gay, I don’t think the boys from Blue said anything overly negative about their time in the band at their original peak in the early 00s
Good job Lee wasn’t on then
