    Yesterday it was revealed that East 17 are making a comeback as E-17 with an angry song called ‘**** That.’ Now, pill munching frontman Brian Harvey says he believes they can take on the musical institution that is Take That.

    Harvey says the song ‘**** That’ is merely a demo and we’re to expect greater things from the Walthamstow outfit. Exciting, we’re sure you’ll agree.

    Still boasting a massive ego despite years in the wilderness and a failed solo career, Harvey tells Gordon Smart: “We were the rebels of the music industry so we wanted to write a rebellious song.

    “We could give Take That a run for their money. We don’t have our original line-up, either, so we’ve got something in common.”

    Harvey, of course, is referring to bloated absent member and songwriter Tony Mortimer who has washed his hands of the group.
