That's a bit like Ian Symes the Big Brother producer. His Twitter page says 'TV producer, likes lager and Aston Villa'.

Spizz is often seen in pubs before London away games. Buy him a pint and he will sing "The Sun never Sets on Aston Villa"

edit - beat me to it, Pat.

Try to get a boy band going? I would imagine that it would be a bunch of young girls not a gaggle of aging swingers.
