Ally Begg, former heartthrob from the 90s band Bad Boys Inc, has revealed the sheer "complete and utter madness" that surrounded the group during their heyday. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star while promoting his YouTube Channel, Ally reminisced about the tumultuous times with bandmates Matthew Pateman, David Ross, and Tony Dowding between 1993 and 1995. The band is remembered for catchy tunes like 'More to This World' and 'Take Me Away'.
Recalling the pandemonium, Ally, who has been dealing with serious health issues, shared: "There were a couple of times we had to be pulled off stage because we were being mobbed by fans, there were times when it was getting quite frightening. We used to do a lot of gay clubs which was great fun, but the female fans were the ones who went OTT, screaming and chasing us.".
He continued with other vivid memories: "There were times we had to crawl through the legs of security guards and into a car to get away from a gig. I remember when I got home to Aberdeen once and the police had to escort me into my door, as there were so many fans outside my mum and dad's house.".
Basking in the nostalgia of those wild days, he added: "It was complete and utter madness, it's everything you have the perception of when you imagine it, and the adrenaline is incredible. When you walk onstage and you see a sea of people, the rush is unbelievable.".
The pop star, now 52, has opened up about losing contact with some of his former bandmates, having not spoken to them for more than two decades. Determined to rekindle old friendships, he expressed a heartfelt desire: "I would love to see the boys again, I really would, because we all shared the same experience. Now that I'm a dad, I appreciate it an awful lot more because you start to appreciate life as a whole," reports the Daily Star.
He reflected on the past with a newfound positivity: "It's been long enough that I've dwelled on it all, and now I'm just going to think of all the good times and laughs we've had because we did share some unbelievable experiences.". After his days in the band, Ally has carved out a niche for himself in the world of sports broadcasting and also recently set up his own YouTube Channel. The channel is dedicated to interviewing former pop sensations, boasting guests from groups like 5ive, Spandau Ballet, B*Witched, and others.
