Gareths popidol history
We first saw Gareth at the audition for Pop Idol held in Manchester. Gareth was there to audition with his sister, Nicola. He blew the judges away with his performance of Flying Without Wings and was then asked back to the London date, unfortunately Nicola was not asked back.
Gareth managed to get through to the the final fifty and then got through to the final round when over 800,000 people voted for him. He got through the the final round of Pop Idol and to everyones disbelief did not win! He lost by half a million votes, Simon Cowell was there to offer him a £1 million record contract!
Gareth comes from a working class family from Bradford. His mum, Wendy fosters children and his Dad is a postman. Gareth has suffered from a stammer since he could talk and is currently undergoing speech therapy. Before Pop Idol Gareth was studying for his A Levels, which he has since had to give up. During the heats for Pop Idol he was offered a place at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester to study opera. When he was younger he used to be a member of a church choir which performed for the queen!
