The band’s unprecedented success continues as they land their first number one single. But as their popularity soars, so too does the relentless pursuit of the tabloids.

The pressures of constant scrutiny weigh heavily on all members, but Stephen Gately feels it most intensely. When The Sun receives a tip-off that Stephen is dating Dutch popstar Eloy de Jong, Stephen finds himself at the heart of a media frenzy.

For the first time, we hear from all sides, revealing how Stephen’s sexuality was exposed and the personal toll it took.

Meanwhile, Ronan faces pressure from manager Louis Walsh to pursue solo projects, igniting tensions that threaten the band’s unity.
