Gareth Gates on Big Reunion 2 fears Gareth Gates takes a break from Dancing On Ice to talk The Big Reunion 2 in his new blog
When I was first asked to take part in The Big Reunion, I thought (just like everyone else!) ‘Who am I reuniting with?!’ When I heard about the idea of putting a band together it took me a while to get my head around it if I’m honest.
I was always used to being centre stage – something that had its good and bad points. How would I cope with sharing the limelight on the stage?!
Turns out better than I ever thought!
Dane was the only one of the boys I really knew before we met in November last year. I was glad I had someone in the band I knew! Then I met the others and it turned out they were a great bunch of lads. Everyone had different experiences of the music industry and had had their ups and downs.
As you know, I was a solo singer, something I just got very much used to. Turns out I’m quite enjoying being in a band! I’m not going to turn my back on the solo ambitions I still have – in fact I’ve spent the last two years writing the best part of a new album – something I’ve never had the opportunity to do.
However I also want to give the band a chance too. Everyone has put their lives on hold to do this, so we owe it to ourselves to give it a shot!
The first series of The Big Reunion was such a success, how could I not want to be involved? I didn’t get to watch loads of it as I’ve spent the last five years in theatre – you’re on stage six nights a week so you don’t have much time for TV.
I could see what enthusiasm everyone seemed to have for the nostalgia of the series though and I wanted to be a part of that. I might not have been in a band, but I was around at the same time as all those from the first series so this is a good way of involving those of us who weren’t in a band. We’re also bringing something new to the series – as well as five big hits.

At the moment I’m still doing Dancing On Ice so it’s all a bit mad. I got through on Sunday night, I did some press interviews yesterday afternoon and then made my way to the ice rink in Elstree where I skated until 8pm..!
