He’s so sweet! I wanna give him a big hug!

I truly understand Gareth's deep frustration because I used to stammer as a child.... When this footage was first broadcast on ITV, I was struggling... And fast-forward to 2024, the stutter has gone, thank God Almighty! It is ultra-puzzling to Me to observe over the years, some get rid of their stutter and many others don't. I have only met one or two girls (women) who stutter. My uncle has always being a stutter and he is still has it.... God Bless you, Gareth Gates and The Quality Dan.

Seeing him on tv as a child who stammers was so important to have that representation

[Podders]

Back when shows like
This were great watching. These people didn’t have highly manufactured back stories, it was hardly about judges, just about the talent. It’s rubbish now

[seaniek]

My God he was good. Those were the days when these programs were great.

[caras]

So lovely to watch. I was 8 years old when this aired and absolutely adored Gareth!

[brianb]

He was so good... I wish Simon hadn't stopped him...i wanted to hear that next part... Incredible Gareth Gates. I remember this audition.

[supersoline]

I find it incredible how singing can help with stammering

[GP_WSM]

Simon looks older then than he does now😂

[katbagley]

I had such a crush on Gareth back then. 14yr old me was glued on him every week 😅

[alanross]

I thought Simon was bored, but he was brilliant as were the other judges. Hats off to Simon and Gareth.

I used to have a friend who looked exactly like Gareth Gates back at the exact same time he became famous on Pop Idol. I would go out with my friend and we would get high on cocaine and get mobbed my girls at the clubs because they genuinely thought he was Gareth Gates and he would play into his roll.
I'm absolutely amazed we never got arrested.

I love this so pur, but x factor is good for no band no audience support

[DennisThiele-yk]

Oh gott ich weiß ganz genau wie Garreth sich in diesem moment gefühlt haben muss . Das schlimmste war bei mir auch immer wenn ich zB. am Telefon oder so nur meinen namen nennen musste

[DennisThiele-yk]

Ich habe schon seit dem ich lebe einen Sprachproblem

[DennisThiele-yk]

Aber ich würde genauso wie Garreth da stehen und könnte meinen Namen nicht aussprechen weil ich auch ein Sprachproblem habe

[DennisThiele-yk]

Ich Sottere auch aber es ist mal schlimmer und mal besser

[meowstermeow]

And not long after he was inside katie price doing her, while a little Harvey ( who now is grown up) was forced to experience his emissions

[DannyNewmen]

This guy was full of shit, , ppl had no problems talking before the audition 😂
