Who’s The Most Vain In V?
Top of the Pops caught up with guys from the boyband V and wondered since V is for vain, who was the most vain guy in the group. Aaron Buckingham responded, “We all are. That’s to be expected when you’re on telly in front of millions of people every day.” Bandmate Mark Harle added, “Kevin [McDaid] spends the least time in the bathroom because he’s got no hair. He just has to do his make up.” And Antony Brant concluded, “Leon [Pisani] spends ages on his hair because he’s got that quiff. I wouldn’t say I was really vain but I have to get it right.”
