When I asked them if they had anyone in mind to work with, they said they had a friend, Lee Ryan, whom they wanted to invite to join their band. Their manager Daniel Glatman said, "Duncan came to see me with his friend, Antony Costa, who was also in the same position, and they told me that they wanted to do something together. In 2000, Costa and another one of his friends, Duncan James, decided to form their own band, and they were soon joined by Ryan. The boy band never took off, but Ryan and Costa remained friends following their meeting.
Ryan made it into the band, as did Will Young (who would go on to win the first series of Pop Idol in 2002), although Costa was not chosen. In May 1999, Lee Ryan and Antony Costa met at the ages of 15 and 17, respectively, when auditioning for a boy band on ITV's This Morning, with Simon Cowell putting the group together.
