Nicky drives a Peaugot 306 convertible which he got for a really good price with the help of Ronan

Bryan went to the same school as Mikey from Boyzone

Westlife share the same stylist as the Spice Girls and David Beckham. His name is Kenny Ho

Before Nicky joined Westlife, he was a budding TV presenter. He went for lots of auditions and would love to have his own show one day

Although Mark loves living a pop star lifestyle, he reckons the idea of being really famous scares him to death!

Bryan didn't go to bed until three in the morning one night. He fell asleep in his clothes and then couldn't be bothered to get changed when he got up - which was only two hours later!

Nicky's a really romantic lad at heart. He once flew home and hid in his girlfriends room to suprise her!

Before Westlife were famous, they used to play in small clubs that didn't have any dressing rooms so they sometimes ended up getting changed in the toilets!

Shane never really relaxes on his holidays. "I rarely sit down and do nothing", he says. "I don't like lying there getting a tan. I prefer to be up and doing something".

Bryan used to be a huge fan of Superman comics. His Mum has still got his Superman duvet cover ironed and waiting for him when he visits

Nicky became a godfather this year. "My Mam's sister had a baby and she asked me to be the godfather which was really special."
 
Kian pierced his own ear when he was younger. "I did it with a pin and it really hurt!" he says.

Mark's absolutely terrified of birds

The bands co-manager, Louis Walsh, has given each of the lads a Spice name which reflects their personalities but the boys won't let on what they are!

Mark never goes anywhere without his protective charm. "I've got a thing like two teabags on a string. It's called a Scapular. It's meant to protect you. I take it everywhere with me".

Before he joined Westlife, Shane used to help out with the cooking and washing up in his parents restaurant in Ireland

Bryan is desperate to buy a Ferrari. "But the first thing I want to buy is a house on the outskirts of Dublin for my Mum and Dad", he confessed, "They deserve it".

When Kian was 12, he was really into rock music and he grew his hair. "I used to wear a bandana too - just like Axel Rose!"

When Bryan was younger, he ran away from home twice and even flushed his Mum's jewellery down the toilet!

Shane's high point of the band's Australian tour was when the guys took a boat trip around Sydney harbour.

Kian once had a very embarrassing kissing incident with a girl who was slightly crossed eyed. "We leaned into kiss each other but she missed and kissed the wall behind me!" he laughs.

Shane reckons he's grown an inch in the past six months. "Nah!", scoffed Bryan, "You've shrunk an inch!". Shane helpfully pointed out that this was in fact because Bryan had grown two inches........

Westlife have a fitness instructor who sets them up with healthy eating plans, but when they are on the road, Mcdonalds is usually their only option!

Bryan was so mad on Superman when he was a kid, he once jumped out of a tree because he thought he would be able to fly like him!

Nicky doesn't like his new tattoo. He had an ornate Eastern design tattoed onto the base of his back and it was pretty painful to have done. Apparently it really hurt when the needle pricked his spine area.
