Despite Competition, Will & Gareth Are Great Mates

Despite their competition during Pop Idol, the show’s runner-up Gareth Gates is a big fan of the winner Will Young. Asked who his pop idol is, Gareth said, “Will Young, of course. It’s the way he does his own thing and the fact that he has such a unique voice – he’s an inspiration.” Asked if he really was a fan of Will, Gareth insisted he is. “Will and I are great mates. We went out to a party together last night actually. I’m very proud of him, he has really shone this last year, and his music is fantastic.”
