John Hendy, former member of 1990s boy band East 17, has returned to his old trade as a roofer after the group split in 1999. The singer, now 42, earns £160 a day and runs his own roofing firm.
Hendy was a pin-up during East 17's heyday, which saw them rack up 12 Top 10 hits. However, after the band disbanded, he went back to his previous job, a stark contrast to his former pop star lifestyle.
East 17 has been tipped to reunite for the ITV2 show The Big Reunion, which has brought other 1990s acts back together.
