New band Rixton are poised to take the world by storm – but regret not milking their US connections to meet Britney Spears.
The lads – Jake Roche, Charley Bagnall, Lewi Morgan and Danny Wilkin – failed to bag tickets to Spears’ Sin City show despite being managed by Scooter Braun and being mates with Justin Bieber.
‘I’m a huge Britney fan so I’m gutted we didn’t get to see her. And we could’ve got free tickets as well because we’ve got the same booking agent. I’m an idiot,’ 21-year-old Roche moaned.
To make matters worse, it was his best chance to meet his idol.
‘I was probably about six or seven when she first released music and she was my first crush. She was in that school uniform and I was like, “Mum, what’s this feeling?” Not really!’
Speaking of ‘mum’, Roche is from good showbiz stock as his parents are Shane Richie and Coleen Nolan – with the latter seemingly having sleepless nights about his chosen career path.
‘My mum is so worried, bless her,’ he said. ‘She calls every day and is like, “Are you being nice to everyone? Are you speaking to everyone? Have you got clean underwear?” She has brought me up well!’
But Loose Women star Nolan may soon have something to worry about as Jake hopes his role as frontman will make him a hit with the ladies.
‘A lot of people say being in bands gets you a lot of girls but I haven’t experienced it yet. But it is very early days. Although I’ll be honest, my game is terrible,’ he admitted.
