Capital FM in London recently chatted with former Five star Abs Breen and asked him what led to the group splitting up and what he’s been doing since then.

“It was a bit of a shock when the band split” he said. “I got a phone call from our manager who said ‘Don’t bother turning up for work tomorrow since you know, no one else is'”.

“And for two months I did nothing apart from watching telly, shows like ‘Tricia’, soaps, game shows and eating my favourite, Coco Pops. I was basically a typical man. A couch potato, you know. Then some producers I’d worked with in Five contacted me and suggested I work with them again, which was lucky because I had only started getting bored and wanted something to do, desperately.”

Meanwhile, The Sun reports former Five star Abs Breen is now dating Heidi Range of the Sugababes. “She’s really nice. I get on great with her.” Abs told the reporters there. “I met her in a club when she had just joined Sugababes. A few months later we bumped into each other again and just hit it off.”
