Richie

Richard Neville was born on the 23 August 1979 in Birmingham. He is a Leo and, along with Abs, is one of the shortest members of the band. As well as being renowned for his big smile and electric blue eyes, he was once in a local band called Anal Beard! He is currently dating Teen pop sensation, 16 year old Billie Piper, the girl we love to hate, just because she is so happy (No offence!). But he adds, "I may be sensitive, but I am still one of the lads".
