<BBC Host> Hello, and welcome
to today's live chat with S Club 7.
Jon, Bradley, Rachel, Tina, Paul, Jo and Hannah are ready to
start answering your questions.
<Anthony Williamson> Hi S Club what was
the inspiration for the new single?
<S Club 7> It's about reaching for your dreams and aspirations and not being afraid to do so.
<Katharine Hales> I am getting two
new rats for my birthday, have you got any ideas what I can call
them?
<S Club 7> Reginald. Yes, why
don't you call them Ronnie and Reggie the rats?
<Angel Davies> Tina - what kind of
music do you like listening to when you feel down?
<S Club 7> Tina: R'n'B, Rap. Commercial R'n'B. Oh yes and "Ricky Martin".
<Billy Joe> What instruments
can you all play?
<S Club 7>
Jon: Piano.
<S Club 7>
Bradley: Drums.
<Alice Silver> Who is the
cleverest in the band?
<S Club 7> Jo: That will be me! Ha ha ha!
<Dave Maguier> What's the best film you have seen?
<S Club 7> "Gladiator", "Shawshank Redemption".
<Charlotte Okken> Is it true that you're
going to do a mini-tour through England?
<S Club 7> No. If it is, then
we don't know about it!
<Holly-Anne Jackson> Jo, how many
tattoos have you got altogether?
<S Club 7> Jo: Five.
<Luke Walmsley> Do you think with
there being 7 of you that life on the road can often become quite
crowded?
<S Club 7> Yes if we get stuck
in a small place. It can be like sheep being hoarded into a small
pen.
<Tom Shorney> Hi S Club 7! I
think you are great! Will there ever be a 'NY 7' set in New York
because I went to NY and I know a good hotel to stay at?
<S Club 7> You never know!
<Alexandra Bowie> Why is Bradley also
called Tosh?
Bradley: Because my surname
is Mackintosh. They also call me Panda.
<Phil Kat> What would be the
greatest thing you could achieve whilst in the band?
<S Club 7> Don't know really,
just helping people. Getting involved in good causes.
<Charlie S> Did Rachel do an
Art and Design foundation course to do her Fashion course - if so,
what was it like?
<S Club 7>
Rachel: No, I did a course
learning the Business side of fashion.
<Katie Sims>
Has celebrity life
changed you in any way?
<S Club 7> You don't get
enough time with family and friends. You get to travel round a
lot but we don't think we have changed.
<Pete Yates>
Do any of the blokes
fancy any of the girls or vice versa?
<S Club 7>No.
<Samantha Toulson> Have you (S Club 7)
met anyone famous like Brad Pitt?
<S Club 7> Jon Bon Jovi, Brad
Pitt, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp. Sharon Stone asked
Jon out, but he said no! (They say innocently!)
<Tom Zjalic> What is your
favourite song in the chart at the moment?
<S Club 7>"Night &
Day" by Billie. "Fill Me In" by Craig David.
<Mary Jones>Paul, do you have an
'outy' or an 'inny' belly button?
<S Club 7> Paul: I have an inny, but
it's so creased! It collects sand!
<Victoria Watts> Who eats the most
out of all of you?
<S Club 7> Paul, just look at
him on the webcam, stuffing his face.
<Kim Hardwick> How easy is it for
you all to learn the dance routines?
<S Club 7> We get about a day
to learn them, they are quite taxing. The more you do them, the
easier it gets.
<Thom Stead> To Jon: You played
Tom in the television version of "Mill On The Floss" -
this is a book that I have to write an essay on in my English
exam - any tips?
<S Club 7>
Jon: I have never read
the book! But I did enjoy doing the film version. The film
version is always different from the book! So I am afraid I can't
give you any tips but good luck with the exam.
<Karen Ellingham> What's the funniest
out-take that has happened while you were filming "LA 7"
& "Miami 7"?
<S Club 7> When Paul fell down
the steps. He landed head first on the camera. Also when we were
shooting "Natural" we keep banging our heads on the
lanterns.
<Justin Goodwin> Hannah, I
understand you're from the countryside. Do you love or loathe the
countryside?
<S Club 7> Hannah: I love it! I was
brought up with cows and sheep!
<Martin Farrin> What do you think
of the UK House scene?
<S Club 7> Ever since "Moloko"
came out I think it has started going back to the origins of its
roots.
<Angel Davies> Who has the
cheesiest smile?
<S Club 7> It has to be Hannah!
There is a picture with Hanna with 2 Mr Men and her mouth was so
big!
(They make a hand gesture to demonstrate)
<Emma Brechin> What does the
"S" stand for?
<S Club 7> Read Smash Hits and
all the other magazines. It stands for Secret!
<Amy Massey> Paul, do you really
like Atari Teenage Riot?
<S Club 7> Paul: I don't really know,
but I did play the computer game in 1987.
<Paul Johnson> Would you ever be
prepared to do a cover version of your favourite song?
<S Club 7> No, because it wouldn't be our favourite song anymore. We wouldn't be able to listen to it and so it would spoil it for us.
<Andrea Bracher> Bradley, you looked
so funny in the hotdog costume on "LA7". Did all the
other S Clubbers make fun of you?!
<S Club 7>Bradley: Only Jo saw it. No
one else was there that day. Jo did find it funny though and so
did the crew!
<Helen Lock>
Where is your
favourite place in the world?
<S Club 7> Sydney, Australia.
But our home is our favourite place. But we do love New York.
<Sophie Costella> If you went on
"Masterchef" what would you cook and why?
<S Club 7>
Jo: Spaghetti Bolognese.
<S Club 7> Hannah. Grilled salmon and
mash potatoes with Pumpkin soup to start.
<S Club 7>
Jon: I love ice cream, I
can do that easy.
<Ron Jeremy> Who is your
favourite James Bond and what is your favourite Bond film?
<S Club 7>Sean Connery. And
favourite movie: "Live & Let Die", oh we can't decide
as we love all of them!
<Shahbaz
Chohan> Have any of you
thought of going solo?
<S Club 7> No.
<Blue Lightz> Do you like bands
like "Oasis" , "Travis" and "The Beatles".
<S Club 7> Yes, we especially
like "Travis".
<Manda Bedson> Who is the last to
get out of bed?
<S Club 7> Bradley, he's
always last.
<Stephanie Hancock2> Tina, what do you
argue most about?
<S Club 7> Silly little things,
Bradley taking up the settee. We are always asking people to
hurry up! Oh yes, Bradley taking off his trainers.
<Alex Krycheck> Which type of
sweets do you prefer more now that you have been to America:
American Sweets or English Sweets?
<S Club 7> No, we still prefer
English sweets. The crisps have no flavour although they do low
fat Quavers.
<Lauren Buckingham> Jon - How many
takes did it take when filming the arm wrestling scene at Muscle
Beach?
<S Club 7>
Jon: We had to shoot at
so many different angles. The actual arm wrestling bit probably
took about 2.
<Sophie Thomson> Did you have to
trash the house for episode 7... and was it really good fun?
<S Club 7> Yes we did and it
was really good fun!
Girls: the best bit was
when we jumped in the pool.
<Rob Macpherson> Bradley you support
Arsenal (nice one) what do you think of our chances next season?
<S Club 7>
Bradley: Yes I do, so does
Paul and Rachel. They should do pretty well. But to be honest
none of us gets much time to watch football. We do watch a lot of
new videos though!
<Ron Jeremy> Who smells the
worst?
<S Club 7> Paul and Rachel -
she smells of Chanel.
<Liam Howard> Who was your
childhood hero?
<S Club 7> Jon: Michael Jackson (all
agree).
<JOE WOOD> Did any of you have
stupid jobs before you became famous?
<S Club 7> Tina: I worked in "Knickerbox".
But it was a part-time job to raise money for night school.
Once, this guy came
in to the shop to buy some knickers for his wife, he didn't know
her size but he said that she took a size 4 shoe - how dumb is
that?!
<Kim1> Hey Jon and Hannah
what parts of you body do you love and hate the most?
<S Club 7> Hannah: All of my
body! I like my toes the best!
Bradley: Eyelashes - a lot
of girls seem to like them too!
<BBC Host> Here are the guys
with a final word.
<S Club 7> Take care of
yourself, thank you for writing to us!
Goodbye!!!
