Are you a lover or a fighter?
I'm a lover, most definitely. Apart from mucking about, I don't really like
fighting. It's a waste of energy when there are far better things to be
doing.
Who would you most like to have a fight with?
I'm not that aggressive but I'd probably say our tour manager, Anto - when
he wakes me up at 5.30am for a flight or TV show, that is! As a rule I'm not
that grumpy but I just don't like getting up so early.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
It would have to be the bungee jump I did in Australia. I jumped 150 feet
into water on the Australian Gold Coast.Was I scared? Not really.On the
whole I'm quite tough really - a bit of a warrior - so I wasn't that nervous
at all.
What's the last dare you carried out?
I jumped out of a hotel room from the first floor onto the grass below.
Bryan dared me but I don't think he or the others thought I'd go through
with it. They were a bit shocked!
Are you a bit reckless as a rule, then?
Well, I'm always up for a dare and I suppose doing the bungee jump was a
little reckless. But I tell you I'd love to sky dive. That would be
fantastic. So if there are any sponsors out there, just let me know!
Would you say you were the wildest member of Westlife?
You might find this hard to believe cos everyone thinks he's the shy, quiet
one, but Mark's really the wild one. You never know what funny thing he's
gonna come out with or do next. He's honestly a bit of a dark horse and
very, very funny.
What's the wildest thing that a lady has ever had you do?
(grinning) Go back to her house for tea and crumpet!
Do you like 'wild' ladies?
Who doesn't?! As far as I'm concerned the wilder, the better.
Who's your favourite rock chick, then?
It's this girl called Lita Ford. She's an American rock goddess who
supported Bon Jovi in Dublin a couple of years ago and she was fantastic.
So, if you were to take TOTP out on a wild night out, where would we go?
Well, we'd start off in Sligo - sample some of my home-town hospitality -
before heading up to Dublin for even more fun and who knows what!
