Sean Conlon is one of five children raised by his mum Kate on a housing estate in Leeds. He was only 15 when he joined 5ive.

Kate on Sean: "Sean has only ever once bought me a Mother's Day present. It was a teddy bear that said 'I Love You' on it. It was very special because he's not good at saying 'I Love You, Mum'."
"He went through a stage of grunting and being unreasonable when he was 13 or 14, but we get on well now. He's shy and quiet when you first meet him, but once you get him talking there's no stopping Sean. I've always said he'd make a great counselor because he's wise for his years and a good listener. We have amazing chats when he's home. At last Christmas, we sat by talking togetherall night."
"I've always encouraged Sean to persue his music because I know he has talent. Now he's a pop star he gets treated just the same when he comes home, and so far it doesn't seem to have affected him. He still walks around the house in his undies, even though i wish he wouldn't."

Sean on Kate: "I feel an idiot when I tell Mum I love her, but I've tried to start doing it now that I'm not living at home. She's very soft, my mum, but at the same time she's very much her own person, which I admire. I'm not as outgoing as her-she can talk to anyone and I wish I was more like that. She's given me confidance and I wouldn't have had the guts to audition for 5ive if she hadn't been so encouraging."
"Whenever I have a problem, I always go to my mum. I don't hide anything from her and I would never lie to her. She's such a nice lady and I'm chulfed(can't make out the word) that she;s my mum. Although probably don't tell her that often enough."
