911 fixed competitions to sleep with women


911 used to fix competitions for the "fittest female adults" to win – and then sleep with them.

The 90s boy band – made up of Lee Brennan, Jimmy Constable and Simon "Spike" Dawbarn – have claimed they enlisted the help of their tour manager to select the best-looking women who had entered their competitions, so they could try to bed the lucky ladies when they met them.

Lee said: "We used to have competitions and we got our tour manager to only pick out the fittest female adults.

"He’d keep the tickets and the nicest bird would win it because it was fixed and one of us would take her back and sleep with her."

The group – who have reunited on TV show ‘The Big Reunion’ – also revealed other naked antics nearly got them into serious trouble one night in Bahrain when they stripped off and went swimming in a hotel pool which nearly landed them 10 years in jail.

Spike told The Sun newspaper: "We were all naked in the swimming pool with our dancers. It’s a Muslim country and we were all there with our danglers out.

"We were doing a show for the king. If we weren’t doing that we would’ve been jailed for ten years.

"Instead, they just placed us under hotel arrest and deported us."

Five – who are now a trio made up of Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, and Scott Robinson – have also revealed they had some crazy experiences touring in the 90s, such as when former member Abz Love accidentally set fire to a hotel, causing serious damage to the building.

Scott explained: "We told the fire brigade it was a cigar in the ashtray by the window which set fire to the curtains.

"What actually happened was that Abz was flicking matches out of the window and one went inside the valance. It set the whole room on fire. That whole floor was shut for a year."
