5ive star Abz Love has abandoned his life in the countryside and returned to London, admitting that he is "a rubbish farmer".

The 41-year-old left the boyband in 2014 in order to pursue his dream of living a rural life, buying a dilapidated farm in Wales and renovating it with his partner.

The antics were documented in the now-cult BBC Two series Country Strife: Abz on the Farm and the rapper even released a song embracing his new life as a farmer, 'Cockadoodledoo', in 2016.

Abz has now given up on the project, however, telling The Sun: "The animals just all died, the plants weren't growing any more - I'm a rubbish farmer.

"There was another plan for me, so I'm back in ­London.

"It's still ­naturally what I want - have a ­little land, a dog, let my beard grow."

Abz is now working on a boyband supergroup project called 'Boyz On Block' with Boyzone's Shane Lynch, Another Level's Dane Bowers and Phats & Small star Ben Ofoedu.
