A new beauty salon has been officially opened by a boy band star.

Scott Robinson, from Five, and Chris Brooks, from Radio Essex, were on hand to cut the ribbon at Little Miracles Beauty Spa, in Osier Drive, Basildon.

Scott and his two sisters, Nicola and Hayley, lived in Pitsea, and he attended Chalvedon Comprehensive School until Year 9 when he left to move full-time to the Sylvia Young Theatre School.

Five enjoyed massive success worldwide, selling over 20 million records in their four years together before they broke up in 2001.

The new salon will offer a range of treatments, including manicures and pedicures, facials, waxing, tanning and children’s treatments.
