Hear'Say unveil new member

The search for a young hopeful to join Hear'Say has ended with the band announcement of the new member.

Chart toppers Hear’Say today unveiled their new member as 23-year-old Johnny Shentall from Doncaster.

At a packed press conference at a central London hotel, the replacement for Kym Marsh who quit the band sensationally last month was finally revealed to the world.

Shentall, who was previously in the band Boom and is the boyfriend of Steps star Lisa Scott-Lee, successfully won through two-days of auditions at which 4,000 hopefuls had tried out to become the fifth member of the band which was launched last year on ITV's Popstars.

The group - Danny Foster, Suzanne Shaw, Noel Sullivan and Myles Klass - revealed the decision.

They say they had a difficult task in whittling down the final dozen down to find a replacement for Kym Marsh, who left the group last month.
