Whatever Happened to Gareth Gates? (2006)

Gareth Gates shot to fame on the nation’s tv screens in the first ever series of Pop Idol – only to be shot down and ridiculed in the space of a couple of years.

Now, after three years out of the limelight, Gareth, is attempting to make a comeback…at the tender age of 22.

In this intimate and revealing documentary with exclusive behind the scenes access to Gareth, and never seen before footage of the teenage idol, the ‘new’ Gareth Gates attempts to finally put his past behind him – and emerge from the shadows.

Speaking now with his famous stammer in check, he is able to talk for the first time about his affair with Jordan, about where his rollercoaster career went wrong – and his new music.

"Makes for interesting and oddly touching viewing...because it says so much about the transient nature of celebrity and the fate of those who are fleetingly sprinkled with its magic dust."Daily Mail
