I had the same reaction
they're only a few years older than me!

It was a figure of speech, I know they’re not collecting their pensions for a while yet
I’m only ten years younger than them.
Actually I saw a clip from Heart radio today and despite being the oldest I think Howard has aged the best out of all of them. He looks well for almost 58.
Does anyone else remember them fibbing about their ages? My friend and I 100% remember it coming out in the papers that Mark had claimed to be born in 74 like Robbie but was actually two years older. We have tried looking it up but can't find anything online. I'm pretty sure Howard knocked a year or two off as well coming to think of it as my aunt fancied him rotten and joked she didn't feel too bad about it even though she was only a few years older.
I can remember as always thought they were younger than me but turns out we are all virtually the same age except Howard who is older.
Yes! It definitely happened I knew about it before it came out publicly through the grapevine
Honestly it was getting to the stage that my friend and I were beginning to think we had just imagined it as others we asked had no idea what we were on about.
I actually thought at the time there might be a big outcry when it came out and it would damage their popularity particularly mark but they were so big at the time it passed unnoticed!
I remember there was some rooster and bull story about a mixup at the record company but no one paid much attention to it.
I genuinely don't remember the difference coming out but then I'm old and may have forgotten
I always though Howard was born in 1969, but apparently it was '68. Didn't they make a joke of it in the "making a boyband" segment if the 2006 tour?
I don't even know why they lied to begin with because it's not like it was a huge difference... a year or two and no one really cared from what I remember and it actually got them more fans because of mums and aunts who felt icky liking them before suddenly.I genuinely don't remember the difference coming out but then I'm old and may have forgotten
It always felt quite big, the age gap between Robbie and Mark and then the other three … Howard and Jason felt mature for a boyband! I remember my mum’s mates genuinely fancying Howard
they felt manly compared to say the One Direction boys, who were very much a “boy” band.I'll be honest and say the only one I remember is Mark who claimed to be the same age as Robbie but was actually born in 72. I can't remember how much the others took off but didn't think it was that much.It always felt quite big, the age gap between Robbie and Mark and then the other three … Howard and Jason felt mature for a boyband!

The three guys were on the Romesh podcast today, great interview with them. Very funny.
I didn't know that Mark lives in LA now? Anyone know why? Is his wife still an actress?

He’s been in LA for years now. Certainly pre-Covid.
Didn’t know his wife was ever an actress
I didn't know that. Yes I remember her in a Sky TV show years ago so I thought maybe that was why they moved there but just looked her up there and she doesn't seem to be acting anymore. It must be hard on him travelling back and forth so much. I just presumed he was UK based all these years.
I noticed that Mark has not been wearing his wedding ring, wonder if he and his wife are still together 
She did quite a few tv shows back in the early 2000’s.
From what I remember, they moved from London to Hampshire around 2010, after all the cheating became public & his stint in re-hab, Then moved out to LA around 2020.
Shes a life coach in LA, she’s got an Instagram page -

She posted a happy birthday story to him on Instagram, as did his kids, and she's posted a few times about the documentary and tour so I presume they are. They had a rough time last year as had to evacuate during the LA fires (as well as all their pets/horses) but I don't think the house suffered in the end.I noticed that Mark has not been wearing his wedding ring, wonder if he and his wife are still together
I'm most likely wrong, had a look on his wife's insta and they seem v happy
