11: Preston - The Ordinary Boys, Celebrity Big Brother, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, Philadelphia, and songwriting hits for others

<div> <strong>Preston </strong>and his band <strong>The Ordinary Boys </strong>made waves when they emerged on the scene in 2004 with a string of hits and a highly acclaimed debut album. Then they were thrust into the mainstream with Preston's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006. <br> <br> There was chart success and intense media scrutiny, which culminated in an infamous episode of Nevermind the Buzzcocks, before the band split in 2008. <br> <br> Preston reflects on the highs and lows of that period - but also his journey since then which has seen him become a songwriter for pop stars such as Olly Murs, Liam Payne and even Enrique Inglesias and Kylie Minogue. <br> <br> <strong>The Ordinary Boys fan?
