East 17 star Brian Harvey has filmed himself being kicked out of a benefits office, branding the member of staff who removed the pop star from the building a “f**ing d**head."
The incident was made public after Brian uploaded the video to his YouTube channel.
In the video, Brian claims he was going to be made homeless, after the benefits office allegedly wouldn't give him the money he believed he should have been owed.
Brian said, "Enough now, I’ve had enough of this. So I’ve come down here.
"I can’t get anywhere after selling 22 million records, and the amount of tax I’ve paid."

Tony Mortimer wrote most of East 17's biggest hits, including their number one singer Stay Another Day. He also sung or rapped most of the verses, before Brian Harvey kicked in with his incredible choruses.

When the band reunited in 1998, Mortimer decided not to return, focusing on solo music instead. However, he did reunite with the band in 2010 for three years, releasing I Can't Get You Off my Mind and Friday Night. Nowadays, Tony focuses on being a record producer from his studio in Essex as well as raising his two daughters, Atlanta and Ocean, with his partner Tracey.

Brian Harvey was the lead singer of the band, adding his soulful and harmonic voice to all the choruses of the band's hit singles. However, he was kicked out of the band in 1997, after he became embroiled in a drug-related controversy in which he had said, "It's cool to take drugs."

Brian was quick to reunite with the John and Terry in 1998, under E-17. He enjoyed some success with the band but he then signed a record deal with Edel Records and had two singles released in 2001, which both got into the top 30. In 2004, Brian was announced as a contestant on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. However, he had to pull out after his grandmother sadly passed away while he was travelling to Australia. Since then, Brian hit the headlines after he ate four jacket potatoes so hard he ended up running over his own body with his own car... He has since stayed out of the limelight, but has still been releasing music, including a single in 2019 called A Ghetto luv Story.
5 of 8John Hendy
John Hendy was (sadly) seen as one of the backing singers of the band, but his look was essential for the edgy and quirky band.

John stayed with the band, reuniting with Brian and Terry in 1998, and becoming one of the only original members left, until the band split again. However, he returned when they reunited in 2006 yet revealed he'd quit the band in 2018, citing personal reasons and wishing them luck in their future. He's stayed out of the limelight since.
7 of 8Terry Coldwell
Like John, Terry Coldwell was pretty much in the background during the bands heyday. However, his rapping skills did come in handy as he "spit some beats" over a few of the bands tracks.

Terry joins John in being the only two members to stick through the East 17 and E-17 days. He still performs with the band, which is now made up of Terry, Robbie Craig since 2014 and Terry John since 2018. We can't keep up with the band member changes...
Then when he got removed, Brian said, “F**ing dhead with you fing attitudes. D*heads."
“You’re bullies mate, you’re bullies. Who you talking to? You wouldn’t have a f**ing job if it wasn’t for me paying tax. F you, f** the lot of you. Sl*gs."
The 45-year-old previously told The Mirror, “I’m being messed around seriously by the benefits."

“If they cut my benefits and I have to go back to gigging then if something happens to me then it will be their fault and it will be on their shoulders. They know my life’s in danger.”
Brian, who has had mental health problems in the past, went on to say how he believed someone had given false information to the benefits office, which meant they would stop giving him what he was owed.

He said, “A troll obviously wants to call up and cause trouble and say I’m earning money.
"I’m not. I’m just assuming that’s what has happened. They know, when people get that letter through the door, what it does to people with mental health problems. I feel like I’m fighting the world.
"The benefits need to start listening to the people, I understand there are spongers in the system, but I shouldn’t be treated like this."
