90s boyband star says police had to be called to protect him from crazed fans

Former heartthrob from Bad Boys Inc. in the 1990s, Ally Begg, has revealed the group’s utter “complete and utter madness” during their heyday.

Ally recalls the turbulent times between 1993 and 1995 when he and bandmates Matthew Pateman, David Ross, and Tony Dowding spoke exclusively to the Daily Star while promoting his YouTube channel. The band is renowned for its catchy songs like “Take Me Away” and “More to This World.”

Recalling the pandemonium, Ally, who has been dealing with serious health issues, shared: “There were a couple of times we had to be pulled off stage because we were being mobbed by fans, there were times when it was getting quite frightening. We used to go to a lot of gay clubs, which was great, but it was because the female fans were screaming and chasing us.

He continued, “Sometimes we had to crawl through the legs of security guards and into a car to leave a gig.” There were so many fans outside my parents’ house when I first came home to Aberdeen, and the police had to escort me inside.

Basking in the nostalgia of those wild days, he added: “It was complete and utter madness, it’s everything you have the perception of when you imagine it, and the adrenaline is incredible. When you walk onstage and you see a sea of people, the rush is unbelievable”.

The pop star, now 52, has opened up about losing contact with some of his former bandmates, having not spoken to them for more than two decades. Determined to rekindle old friendships, he expressed a heartfelt desire: “I would love to see the boys again, I really would, because we all shared the same experience. You start to appreciate life as a whole more now that I’m a father, according to the Daily Star, which makes it even more special.

He said, “It’s been long enough for me to dwell on it all, and now I’m just going to think of all the good times and laughs we’ve had because we’ve had some unbelievable experiences,” and he “reflected on the past with a newfound optimism.

After spending time with the band, Ally has since established his own YouTube channel and carved out a niche in the field of sports broadcasting. The channel is dedicated to interviewing former pop sensations, boasting guests from groups like 5ive, Spandau Ballet, B*Witched, and others.
