The new BBC documentary series Boybands Forever showcases the difficult lives of members of British girl pop groups. For fans, their daily lives are pure glamour. In reality, it is an inhumane dictatorship of managers and show business moguls, psychoses, and ruined personal lives.

Melanie Blatt from All Saints was pressured hard to have an abortion. She was expecting a child from Jamiroquai's bassist Stuart Zender. At the same time, her bandmate Nicole Appleton got pregnant by Robbie Williams. The bosses screamed: "This is the end of All Saints! We will lose millions!" Melanie gave birth anyway, while Nicole terminated her pregnancy.

Natasha Hamilton from Atomic Kitten found herself in a similar situation. She refused to have an abortion, although she feared being kicked out of the group.

• I was told to be back on stage six weeks after giving birth. I had to comply, even though I hadn’t fully recovered from the cesarean section. Soon, I went on a tour of East Asia. It felt like torture. I kept thinking, "I’m a bad mother." The psychiatrist recommended taking a six-month to a year off. I was given two weeks, - recalls Natasha.

Unable to withstand the pressure, Mutya Buena left the Sugababes five months after giving birth. Moreover, she was bullied on social media about her weight and clothing.

When Kerry Katona from Atomic Kitten started a romance with Brian McFadden from Westlife, the managers did everything to make them break up - fearing that both groups would fall apart.

The members of the Spice Girls were constantly bullied, suspected of lying about their real ages. All the information about them again came from the bosses and publicists.
