On 14 August 1998, Tara Lynch, then aged 24, confessed she had a son named Dean, then aged 7. She also admitted she was engaged to Andy Lee, a lorry driver she had met two years earlier, and was planning to marry him. Earlier that week, rumours that he had a child and was planning a marriage had been denied by her management. According to
The Mirror, Lynch was apparently told to "keep mum" about the matter for another year. "The band are on the verge of signing a massive record deal in the States and are going over there to meet bosses from five record companies. One is believed to be
Sony. But news of Tara's son is unlikely to go down well," wrote Neil Michael in his 15 August
Mirror article. Tara would ultimately marry Andy Lee on 24 June 2000. In the same year, 1999, Tara Lynch left the group. The song was based on
Bobby Brown's US number-one hit "
My Prerogative", "structurally assuming" its main melody line. == Discography ==
