Hadrian's Wall with Robson Green (Image: Channel 5) Robson Green and Jerome Flynn, the stars of ITV's drama Soldier Soldier, never anticipated their rise to pop stardom. Their rendition of 'Unchained Melody' on the show in November 1994 captivated audiences and caught the attention of a young Simon Cowell. After months of persuasion, Cowell finally convinced the duo to record the song.

The actors, under the name Robson and Jerome, signed a deal and made history. Their cover of 'Unchained Melody' skyrocketed to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, where it remained for an impressive seven weeks, becoming the best-selling single of 1995.

Their eponymous album also topped the charts that year, and they released another album and two more singles. Cowell credits them with earning him his first £1million. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
