Biography
Deliciously handsome pop rocker Dougie was born and raised in Essex. As a teen, music became his passion and at the age of 15 he auditioned for McFly, joining the band as their bassist, co-writer, and sometime singer.
To date the pop rock boyband have released five studio albums and two greatest hits albums, with two of them hitting the top spot. They won Best Pop Act at the 2005 BRIT Awards and have clocked up seven number one singles in the UK. Dougie and McFly starred in their own 2011 MTV reality show, McFly On The Wall, and he is currently working with the band to record their sixth studio album.
Dougie famously dated and lived with The Saturdays superbabe Frankie Sanford. Their relationship was pretty stormy and they were on again then off again until they finally split for good in late 2010. Following their split, and Frankie’s very public appearances with a male model and her current beau, footballer Wayne Bridges, Dougie checked into The Priory rehab clinic to be treated for depression. He’s now back fighting fit and touring with the band again.
