Did you love the Boybands Forever documentary which Robbie was featured in recently? It was a great show, but it was also really sad to hear the negative sides of what most of the 90s/00s boybands went through. They each discussed their rise to fame and what they hysteria was like, but also how it affected their mental health, and left some of them with no money in the end.There's one 90s boyband member who's been discussing this topic and more with other pop stars on his own YouTube channel, The Accidental Pop Star, for a while. So, we're thrilled to be joined by Ally Begg from Bad Boys Inc to hear about his 90s boyband experience, as well as his memories of meeting and seeing Robbie live many times.Bad Boys Inc had 6 Top 40 singles and a Top 20 album and were created by one of Take That's early producers, Ian Levine, to rival Take That.

He also tells us what happened the first time he met Take That, and why he ended up going to some of Robbie's earliest solo gigs and rehearsal shows. Robbie once suggested a put down to use with anyone being snide, that Ally still uses to this day!Find Ally's show at https://www.youtube.com/@theaccidentalpopstar ======If there is an advert in this episode details will appear below:============**About Robbie Williams Rewind**Join husband and wife Matt and Lucy, as they rewind through legendary pop star Robbie Williams' solo career.
