5ive's Abz: "I could have been the male Lady Gaga"

5ive star Abz has claimed that he could have been the "male Lady Gaga" with Simon Cowell's help.

The singer was briefly managed by the music mogul after the boyband split in 2001 following a number of arguments.

However, the partnership didn't last - something that clearly rankles the pop star. He is quoted by The Sun as saying:

"I was gutted...I would've been the male Lady Gaga with him."

He added: "I thought I was going to die at 25. I was all over the place, living in squats with junkies injecting drugs. I never took heroin, though."

Abz meanwhile has been enjoying a new lease of life on ITV series The Big Reunion, which sees 5ive trying to re-live their former glories.
