i like them:)

 

thier songs 'boys will be boys' and their lastest single '9 to 5 (vs lady sovereign)' are wicked!!!!:D

 

post here n chat about them, here.

Preston's band, as they are known these days, have a new single out next week. So to promote it, Preston decides to storm off Buzzcocks...

 

Singer Preston storms off TV quiz

Ordinary Boys frontman Samuel Preston has walked out of a recording of BBC Two pop quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

 

The singer, 24, took exception when host Simon Amstell read extracts from an autobiography written by his wife, Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton.

 

"Preston just stormed off," said a spokeswoman for the show. "He literally walked out of the building."

 

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, Preston said: "If that was in any other situation, I would have hit him."

 

He added: "I just had to remove myself from the situation, so I just got up and left."

 

Team captain Bill Bailey picked a member of the audience to take Preston's place for the remainder of the recording.

 

Preston said Chantelle thought his actions were "funny" and "sweet".

 

'Banter'

 

In the offending passage from Chantelle's book, Living the Dream, she described a photo shoot in which she wore Marks and Spencer clothes.

 

"I've always loved M&S but it has always been too expensive for me," she wrote, adding that the session made her feel "very posh and upmarket".

 

The Buzzcocks spokeswoman said: "It's a shame Preston felt he had to leave.

 

"Fans will know Simon loves to banter with his guests. It's the nature of the show - and it's not meant in a mean way."

 

Preston insisted he was "very much up for it" but thought he was "well within his rights" to leave.

 

Preston and Chantelle met last January in the Celebrity Big Brother house and married eight months later.

 

Houghton, 23, was planted in the show as a fake celebrity but went on to win. She has since starred in her own series, Chantelle: Living the Dream, on digital channel E4.

 

Preston was already known for his pop-ska band The Ordinary Boys and their single Boys Will Be Boys charted at number three after the show.

 

The singer's brief appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks will form part of the new series, which begins on BBC Two on 27 January.

^What a tw*t.............................. :rolleyes:

All to promote his rubbish single...

that I Luv You song is sweet:)

If you can't take the heat, then stay out of the kitchen. If you enter into a "showbiz marriage" - especially with a wannabe publicity-seeker like Chantelle - you have to accept the inevitable consequences.;)

i kinda like "9 to 5", only because i like lady sovereign

Well she's better than them, anyway. They're basically just a "novelty" act.

You go on Buzzcocks and you should expect the Piss to be taken out of you/your family.

Yep, but no-one else has picked up that he might have walked out as a stunt so that newspapers will start talking about him again, and might say something about his new single being released on Monday.

 

Besides Preston is a class A di'khead

There not bad, i seen them live a while ago.

The band are good, but like U2, the band has got some good songs, but the lead-singer is full of himself.

 

If Preston didn't enter the CBB house last year, I wouldn't think the band will still be together, because IIRC the record company was thinking about dropping them.

The big difference is that U2 aren't a "novelty" band. I doubt The Ordinary Boys will have a very long shelf-life, whatever publicity stunts Preston comes up with - and that goes for his missus, too.;)

Their début album was good. The 2nd album was rubbish.

But they've had lots of songs which have become global "standards". That will never happen to Preston & co.:rolleyes:

I only used U2 as an example of liking the music but hating the lead singer.

Well Bono might have got carried away with his own "importance", but at least he hasn't indulged in a showbiz marriage and pulled every stunt imaginable to sell an album!:rolleyes:
