The Essex boy band Loveable Rogues are the indisputable heartthrobs of this year’s Britain’s Got Talent .We sat down for a chat with the lads to talk about everything from 1D, to girls to fame...

Loveable Rogues – who are Eddie (20), Te (18) and Sonny (18) – are determined to try and rival One Direction. And not just when it comes to musical success – they’re more interested in their girl-getting skills. …

“I’m hoping we can go out with the One Direction boys to learn how it is all done,” says Sonny, with Eddie adding, “We’ll pick up their skag ends. I just like anything!”. Er, charming – form an orderly queue ladies?

Claim to fame!

So far, the boys’ main claim to fame – other than appearing on BGT, of course – is that they shared a lift with Zac Efron at the Lorraine show, although Sonny adds that they’ve “played to Bianca Gascoigne a few times”. Hmm, we’d stick with the Zac thing.

Fans

The boys have already got girls screaming at them – but mums and dads are fans too. Reveals Sonny,

“The reaction to us has been crazy. We have been in Nandos taking pictures of all our fans! We get a lot of people coming up to talk to us, girls and boys and mums and dads.

“People have started knocking on our doors as they found out where we live. Half of Chingford was knocking on our door – taking pictures of where we live.”

The music

All the boys insist that they’re taking part in Britain’s Got Talent purely for the music and not to pull Reality TV star hotties. They’d rather hang out with Emeli Sande than Amy Childs,

“We are more into meeting music stars than reality ones,” asserts Eddie. “I’d love to meet Emeli Sande, she is amazing – and Ed Sheeran. It is not about the fame for us it is about the music.

“We want to work with these people,” adds Sony.

“If Simon Cowell likes you then you are pretty much made. We are all for people hearing our music and if Simon Cowell hears you he can make things happen.”
