ITV to pay Blue to run a bar; James Arthur punched in a bar
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 25 June 2014
Apparently Blue are to act as landboybandlords at a new made-for-TV bar in Ibiza, as part of a show airing on ITV2 ‘soon’. So kind of like a Spanish spin-off of ITV’s short-lived 2003 reality series ‘The Club’. And what a storming TV triumph that was.
Although currently still in early development stages, the show is set to be made by ITV-owned production house Potato, which is already familiar with Blue having financed the band’s big reunion on ‘The Big Reunion’. And again, that all went extremely well in the end, didn’t it?
I’m not certain placing a self-confessed alcoholic in charge of a bar is the greatest idea I’ve ever heard. Nor, for that matter, doing the same with Anthony Costa. Still, hey, that’s showbiz!
Elsewhere in popstars-and-bars-based gossip, James Arthur, the white whale of pop, got a small scratch on his face after having a “Polish bar brawl” in a bar in Poland the other day. Brits abroad hmm, what are they like?
He did say it was “the best”, mind, adding that “boys will be boys”, so let’s try not to cry over it. You can read all about it on the Daily Mail website if you like, or alternatively, if you don’t like, don’t.
