GARETH Gates has gone for a huge career change – he’s in the tea bag business
now.
The former Pop Idol runner up announced today that he’s launched his very own
brand of tea.
Bosses at PG Tips and Tetley need not fear though – his new beverage is a
strictly fruit and herbs affair, delivered in biodegradable bags.
Gareth, 31, said his tea has: “No caffeine, no nasty hidden ingredients,
just pure, raw goodness.”
The fruity brew – called Cuppanut – comes in a range of flavours including
Coconut, Coconut and Cranberry and Coconut Ginger and Turmeric.

The Unchained Melody singer announced his product on Twitter with the message: “Good
morning! Please all follow my new venture @cuppanuttea – a range of healthy
coconut tea :-)”
He explained: “Spurred on by my love of coconut and my continuing desire
for a healthy lifestyle, I often experimented in my kitchen for fun never
thinking that one day my teas could become a reality.”
Gareth came second to Will Young in the first series of Pop Idol, which was on
TV in 2001 and, went on to sell 3.5 million records in the UK.
After a short but lucrative pop career – by 2009 he had made an estimated £6.5
million – he moved into musical theatre and is currently touring the country
in Footloose.
