Wicked women, shipwrecked shenanigans and dodgy male pants! Time for WESTLIFE's racy revelations - anybody interested?

What's the main talking point in the Westlife camp at the mo?
Bryan: (quick as a flash.) Women!! Who the best looking women on the scene are.
Mark: Thats easy. Mariah Carey!
Kian: No, Catherine Zeta Jones!
Shane: Heather Graham!
Bryan: Jenifer Lopez!
Mark: Left Eye!
Nicky: Liz Hurley!
Bryan: I'm more of a Jennifer Love Hewitt man myself.
(Westlife proceed to list practically every female celebrity on the planet....)

Apparently head-to-toe white is thelook for spring/summer 2000. Do you feel like trendsetters?
Shane: Yes, but we did set that trend last year.
Nicky: (Clearly taking the mick.) I don't know what you're talking about! We've never worn all white in our lives!
Bryan: I think we definately set the short sleeved shirt trend. Short sleeves in the dead of winter. Any time of year in fact.
Kian: The thing is we only wear all-white for performances and photoshoots. I'd never go out wearing all white! I'd look like i was in a boy band!!
Bryan: Do you remember when me and Mark always had to wear those big, long coats? We looked so stupid!
Nicky: What about my hair at the beginning? Now that was stupid!

What's the best laugh you had recently?
Shane: That'll have to be the cow up the tree.
Kian: We were at a photo shoot and went outside for some air. Anyway, there was this guy up a tree (starts chuckling)....
Nicky: (taking over.) And so one of the lads asked what he was doing. Being silly, I said he was probably trying to get the big cow down from the top of the tree. (Laughing.) And the lads fell for it and went, "Where?" I suppose you had to be there!
Shane: We're not usually that gullible. Mark is though. He believes pretty much anything!
Mark: Sometimes I just have trouble working out is people are being serious or not.

How do you reckon you'd cope on the new teenage documentary, Shipwrecked?
Mark: I'd be useless!
Kian: Oh I think I'd quite enjoy it. What a great way to chill out.
Bryan: Yeah, but how would Nicky cope without his mobile? Nicky's the worst for his phone.
Nicky: How am I? You're the worst!
Bryan: I am not!
Nicky: OK then, Feehily is.
Kian: Yeah, Mark is the worst without a doubt.
Nicky: (In football chant style.) Feehily's the worst on the mobile! Feehily's the worst on the mobile!
Mark: I'm not that bad.
Shane: Oh Mark, you're on it every chance you get!

Boys, please back to the question...
Bryan: Haven't they got to kill pigs though?
Shane: Oh, I couldn't do that. I'm too squemish. I'd sooner eat one of the lads! Probably Nicky cos he's the cleanest!
Mark: Wouldn't we start to stink though after a while?
Nicky: Well, no cos you can still wash yourself in the ocean. And you could get, like, exotic flower petals and make your own cologne.
Kian: And after three months your hair would start to wash itself naturally.
Shane: I think I'd grow a beard. (Thinking aloud.) I'd grow quite a good beard. I have to shave twice a day now, imagine the size of it after a couple of months!

So who's the biggest ponce in Westlife?
Shane: Well Nicky's quite posh so I'd say him.
Nicky: What?!
Shane: Oh,come on! You do wash an awful lot.
Nicky: (complete with dodgy American accent) Don't even go there!
Shane: (In equally dodgy American twang.) You rock the party!
Nicky: Get out of town!

Who's the worst ligger in Westlife?
Shane: That'd be Bryan.
Byran: No!
Nicky: Come on Bryan. Lets lay it out on the table.

Would that have something to do with his reputation as a bit of a ladies' man by any chance?
Bryan: No. I'm not this lady killer the papers keep trying to make me out to be.
Nicky: I mean he's never killed any of them, heh heh!
Bryan: I'm honestly not like that at all though.
Kian: Actually Mark's more of the ladies' man. He's a real dark horse. ( Cue Mark looking even more coy than usual!)
Shane: Everyone thinks he's really quiet but he's a real charmer. He's just really quiet about what he does. He doesn't tell us everthing he gets up to!
Bryan: He's a bad man for the models.
Shane: Oh yeah, he always pulls a stunner of a girl.

Have any of you ever crashed and burned when you've tried to chat up a girl?
Bryan: There was this one time when I tried one of Joey from Friends' lines. I went up to this and said (in a thick, himbo-style, US twang), "How you doin'?" And she just turned and said, "Shut up you sap!" and walked off. Thats definitely not one to use in future!

Which of you is worst for sucking up to management?
(Cue whooping laughter and much finger pointing in Kian's direction)
Kian: I don't suck up, its just that I'm the only one who keeps in regular contact with management.
The rest: Yeah right!

In light of Posh's revelation about Becks wearing her thongs, would you ever be tempted to try on yourself?
Shane: Oh, no way!
Bryan: Oh , why not? Yeah, bring 'em on if you ask me!
Shane: They're meant to be very comfortable.
Nicky: I think if yoou are happy with it and its in your own time, then why not.
Mark: If your wearing trousers, no one's going to know what you've got underneath anyway. Nicky: Go man! Boy power!

On a night out who's last to bed?
Bryan: (with a cheeky glint in his eye) Well that depends on how well the night goes, if you know what i mean!
Mark: I can never go to bed early.
Bryan: Basically the last one to leave for bed is usually the one who hasn't pulled!
(much raucous laughter)

When you eventually make your film, which one of you will make the most cock-ups and forget your lines?
Mark: Me, cos I'm crap at learning lines so I think I'll definitely be Mr 20 Takes!
Bryan: It doesn't really matter though, as long as i get a screen kiss, that's the main thing!

Well, after all Bryan, you do have a reputation to uphold!
