Darius comes from the part of Glasgow where I live. His parents are very well-to-do and both doctors. His mum isn't an escort!

I;m not surprised he's gone down the musical theatre route.

urwelcome I always thought that the guys were average until I saw Noel on stage and saw Kevin on the Voice.
If you still think that then I don’t believe you have seen either of them sing.

Jon Lee in S Club is the same, relegated to the back behind the mediocre Jo and then fantastic as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys.

Kym marsh is in coronation street
Myleene klass is very famous on the celeb circuit has her own radio show, new husband and new baby
Darius was with Natasha henstridge - American actress I believe?

notespeciallyno · 01/03/2020 08:30

Oh they married and are now divorced

BertieBotts · 01/03/2020 10:30

Darius was my first proper teen crush, I luffed him :o bought his autobiography and everything! Only after he was on the second one where he was normal, though!

I remember having all of hear'say's albums, along with S Club 7 Blush

Lullaby that Lemar wrote with two others on Fame Academy (one of whom I think dated Fearne Cotton for a while after Fame Academy) was a great tune and still is. I used to sing that to my DCs when they were little.
I think Lemar could've been huge, Lionel Richie really rated him, but poor management and the whole contracts that they have to agree to do tours and have a set time where they can't release an album or be signed killed him off.

Also saw Noel in School of Rock last year - I didn’t realise it was him and didn’t recognise him at all until they announced his name at the end. He was excellent.

APatchyTomCat · 01/03/2020 11:38

Can’t believe there’s no Darius kilt pic.

You’ve changed Mumsnet.

x2boys · 01/03/2020 11:38

Darius was in Popstars and Pop idol was,nt he ?

McCanne · 01/03/2020 12:07

Ha I loved Darius! I remember being on the train from Glasgow to Torquay just after I got his album and listening to it for the entire 9 hours or however long it was. He was a bit cringey 😬

Daffodil55 · 01/03/2020 12:09

Darius got noticed because of his awful audition way back when but it has done him lots of good because he is really a good singer and I believe he is doing well in musical theatre. Rather easy on the eye too!! I loved his Colour Blind and I beleive he wrote it too.

Same can be said for Rylan Clarke. Terrible audition on Xfactor years ago but look at him now. Like him or not he has gone on to be a massive success on television and is probably a millionaire.

Daffodil55 · 01/03/2020 12:13

I can not believe I wrote beleive just now.

Forgive me for I have sinned.

Cocolapew · 01/03/2020 12:17

I was thinking the same about no kilt pic Grin
Lemar presents the weekend show on Magic Soul.

PeterPanGoesWrong · 01/03/2020 12:19

Last time I saw Darius he was on stage in Funny Girl, working opposite Sheridan Smith. He’s a terrific actor too. This was two or three years ago.

U2HasTheEdge · 01/03/2020 12:21

I have spoke to Darius on the phone. My friend is a friend of his. My only claim to fame Grin

oooompa · 01/03/2020 12:28

Can anyone remember the Big Band album the Pop Idol singers did? (Gareth, Will, Darius and Zoe series) I loved that album but haven't been able to find many of the songs to listen to again.

I will ignore everyone confirming Darius is a sleeze because I think he is beautiful and 'Colourblind' takes me back to being a soppy obsessed teenager.

I met Michelle Heaton (Liberty X) when she came into my work place and she is stunningly beautiful in real life, and also very polite. I stared at her in awe but didn't realise at first who she was.

Yorkshireswithallroasts · 01/03/2020 12:46

Someone mentioned Kevin Simm from Liberty X. He's doing alright, he's currently the lead singer with Wet Wet Wet!

amillionwishes · 01/03/2020 12:52

Danny performs with his own band, The Big Soul Corporation. They're busy from what I see on FB.

sparkypigeon · 01/03/2020 20:19

Whenever I hear of Darius the first though that enters my mind is the kilt picture Shock

Ontheboardwalk · 01/03/2020 21:15

Gutted! This thread has informed me Wet Wet Wet that I’m looking forward to seeing at Rewind doesn’t have Marti Pellow as lead singer anymore 😢

HeresMe · 01/03/2020 21:18

I remember liberty X there first video was designed to appeal to certain demographic.

Changeofname79 · 01/03/2020 23:19

urwelcome I agree with Smiley, I watch Kevin's blind audition from the voice now and then just because it was so good. I didnt notice him massively on popstars though but when he sings solo he's insanely good!

Changeofname79 · 01/03/2020 23:20

I couldnt stand Darius on popstars but thought he was gorgeous on pop idol!

Changeofname79 · 01/03/2020 23:21

@oooompa I still have the big band album somewhere, it was my favourite week GrinBlush

littleduckeggblue · 01/03/2020 23:27

Danny has a soul show that he tours with
