Are You Michelle from Skins?

Aston Merrygold

Well, what an iconic guest for the inaugural episode of Are You Michelle From Skins? ! I talk to Aston Merrygold about what it’s actually like being in a boyband; from X factor early days, to touring arenas with JLS and the decision to walk away from the band. We speak about him being a triple threat, from turning his hand to football, acting, and how singing was the back up plan! And of course, we speak about the classic unmasking on this series of the Masked Singer and just where the inspiration for his Robin costume came from (Spoiler: its a tearjerker). Buckle up and backflip in with us - EVERYBODY IN LOVE! GO ON PUT YOUR HANDS UP!
