• Kevin McDaid, (born 7 March 1984)
• Leon Pisani, (born 25 December 1985)

Antony Brant came up with the band name "V" because V is the Roman numeral for five and there were five members in the band. V made their debut at the same time as McFly by supporting Busted's arena tour in the spring of 2004.
