EVER heard the one where former East 17 member Brian Harvey ran over himself
after gorging on four jacket potatoes?
Well, now you can – because he’s made a song about it.
Back in May 2005, ex-boy band star Brian, now 40, was involved in a near-death
accident after falling under the wheels of his reversing Mercedes.
Brian, who shattered his pelvis in the process, blamed the freak incident on
the fact he had eaten too many jacket potates earlier in the day.
And now, almost ten years on, he has revived the tale in a home-made music
video.
The short film, in which he parodies grime artist Meridian Dan’s track German
Whip, sees him rapping in the street while holding a jacket potato.
He can later be seen lying on the floor while eating an entire block of
Cathedral City cheddar cheese.
His lyrics to the song include: “Jacket potatoes, cheese and that. I
don’t wanna die.”
Speaking about his decision to make the bizarre video, Brian said: “Everyone
else is taking the piss out of me, so I thought I might as well do it too.”
Earlier this month, Brian posted a video of himself smashing up his East 17
platinum discs in an alleyway, in what he claimed to be an attack on the
music industry.
