When Westlife dished the dirt on their deepest, darkest secrets only one magazine got a look in. So, who peed in their auntie's face, how many members of the band have cross-dressed and which Westlife is in a peeping tom?
KIAN dressed up as Marilyn Monore!
" It was for a musical variety show and I sang Happy Birthday. I
also dressed up as Cilla Black and I have to say I was quiet good
as both of them. I had two big ballons up my dress, a blond wig
and a beauty spot and I hitched the dress up so you could see my
boxer shorts underneath. "
NICKY stole from his best friend!
" I've never admitted to this before but when I was in primary
school the circus came to town and everyone in the class got a
ticket each, but I wanted an extra one. I remember watching
my best friend Colm putting his ticket in his pencil case and it
was just too tempting so I stole it! I've never told him to this
day, and now he's going to find out through TOTP Magazine! Sorry
Colm! "
BRYAN wears girls' bra tops! (Erm, what other sort of bra tops
are there? )
There's a photo of me on holiday a few years ago wearing a pair
of my jeans and my sister's tiny, pink bra top. I had my hair up
and sunglasses on my head. I did it for a laugh and my sister keeps
the picture on her wall. "
MARK snogged two cousins in one night!
" On Halloween night my mates and I got talking to this group
of girls and we all snogged one of the girls. Then we went off and
we bumped into another group of girls and I snogged this girl who
I later found out was the first girl's cousin! Then we went on to a
night club and I snogged another girl - she wasn't connected,
thank goodness. "
SHANE was very familiar with ladies' lingerie!
" I used to fick straight to the lingerie section in my mum's
catalogues. I thought it was deadly. That was my first glimpse of
real women! I remember one day watching a girl in her bedroom
just as she started ungoin her trousers. The windowsill got in the
way so I couldn't see anything. Then she was just about ot pull
her top off but she changed her mind and pulled the blind down! "
KIAN's a motorway mooner!
" When I was on football trips, we'd be travelling in the bus and
the whole team would moon all the cars behind us. We'd all just
stick our cheeks to the window! No one ever seemed very impre-
ssed. "
NICKY once appeared on TV with no pants on!
" It was a TV show in Italy and basically me, Shane, Bryan and
Kian did a perfrmance with no boxer shorts on. We let it all hand
loose! We wearing white trousers and Shane had black boxers on
which were showing through. So he couldn't wear them and the
rest of us decided to keep him company! "
BRYAN and KIAN share girls!
" Me and Kian always used to compete for girls and since we've
been in the band there's about six or seven girls which both of
us have gone out with. It backfired on us once when it turned
out we were both seeing the same girl at the same time without
realising it. "
SHANE used to flash on the beach!
" When I was younger I was alwayse getting caught changing on
the beach. Usually I'd be spotted in the sand dunes with my wet
shorts half on and half off. I'd think, 'Great, no one can see me
here,' and then a group of girls would walk past and see a lot. "
BRYAN once weed in his auntie's face!
" I was only a baby at the time. She was changing my nappy and
I peed a direct hit in her face. She loves telling that story in front
of my friends. "
MARK was a teenage joyrider. (Sort of! )
" I was desperateto learn to drive and when I was 13 I persuaded
my dad to teach me. I learnt in my mum's old car in the fields out
the back of my parent's house. To get from the field to my house
you have to drive about half a mile on the road. I'd pinch the car
keys from the house and drive from the field to my house on my
own. My parents used to go mad at me, saying, 'The cops'll catch
you! You'll get us all into trouble! Stop doing it!' but I didn't!"
NICKY's mum dressed him up like a girl!
" My mun used to always dress me the same as my sister until I
was about six. Not exactly the same but if my sister had a pink
tracksuit, I'd have the same tracksuit in blue and there are loads
of pictures of us wearing the same T-shirts and shouts. Really
nice! "
BRYAN was a very bad boy!
" All my aunties hated me as a child and they refused to look after
me. I used to put bleach into milk bottles and once I flushed my
mum's wedding rings down the toilet. She never found them again!
I also cut my own hair the day before Communion because I had a
horrible bowl 'do which swept to the side. My mum wasn't happy. "
SHANE snogged his girlfriend's mates!
" Load of them! When I was about 14 if I was with one girl I'd
always end up with three or four of her friends one after the
other. In fact I once went out with one girl just because I fancied
her best friend. It was the easiest way to get near her. "
KIAN's a serial window smasher!
" I broke my neighbour's window twice, once withe a water bomb
and then a snowball. They were both accidental, but I didn't feel
bad 'cos she always used to take my football away from me. She
came up to my mother the other day and said, 'Oh Kian, he's doing
great isn't he?' So don't think there are any hard feelings. "
NICKY was the headmaster's pet!
" My headmaster was a football manager as well so he absolutely
loved me! I remember when Georgina and I first started doing
out we were caught snogging at the school gates. Anyway, the
next day she was hauled in front of him and I wasn't! "
BRYAN was punished for his loud farts!
"When I was at school I got lines for dropping a big squelchy,
loud fart. My teacher, who was a priest, made me write 'I must
not fart in class' 100 times. I left that school shortly afterwards."
SHANE played with girls' toys!
" I used to have a toy cat called Kitty. It wasn't a pink cat but it
wasn't a black cat either if you know what I mean. It was somet-
hing a girl would definitely have had. I'd hide him under the bed
when my friend came round."
BRYAN pees in public!
" I'll always be doing it just when loads of people are walking past
and my pee's trickling down the lane. They have to jump over it
to avoid stepping in it. "
KIAN blubbed in a club!
" When I broke up with my first serious girlfriend I was absolu-
tely gutted. One night I was at this club, and of course, my ex-
girlfriend was there. After a few drinks I got a little emotional
and I ended up just slumped in corner crying my eyes out all
night! "
BRYAN made Ronan's mate puke!
" We were round at Ronan's having dinner. One of his friends was
having a drink and we swapped his short with a swing of vinegar.
Then we started going 'Drink, drink, drink!' He did it, his face
turned green and then he puked everywhere! "
SHANE broke the law!
" I was caught speeding past a hospital doing 47 mph in a 30 mph
zone. There were four of us in the car and it was just after I'd
passed my test. We were on our way to Irishh trials for rugby
and we were late so on the bigger roads I was probably doing
a lot faster. Luckily the cop loved rugby so he let me off although
he wasn't too happy with my dodgy number plate. "
MARK dressed up as a posh laydee!
" When I was in the Scouts we put on a play and I had to dress up
as a woman! I was in a small scene with another guy, he was dre-
ssed up as a sporty woman and I was working a posh look. I was
wearing a scarf, my mum's high heels, earings, a skirt and her big
coat from about 20 years ago! It was in front of my whole parish
- can you imagine how embarrassing that was? "
KIAN's life was saved by a washing line!
" I was in a holiday centre where this event called the Community
Games was taking place. It must have been around midnight and
I was sitting on this railing out on a balcony which was a bit wet.
Next thing you know, my foot slipped and I fell back. Luckily
enough my foot got caught in a clothes line which broke my fall. I
felt headfirst about two storeys and I was still knocked uncons-
cious with a dislocated shoulder. Who knows what would have
happened without that washing line?! "
NICKY once pretended to be a member of OTT!
" I must have been about 17 and I was living in Leeds. Me and
three other lads from Dublin got chatting to these girls who
asked us what we were doing in England. So we told them we were
in a new Irish boy band called OTT cos it was around the time
when OTT were just about to hit Britain. And they believed us!
They asked if we knew Boyzone and we pretended we did. They
even asked us for our autographs! In a way though it wasn't so
much of a lie, but a premonition cos three years later I am in an
Irish boy band and I do know Boyzone! "
MARK was weed upon (but not by Bryan) !
" My auntie had a new born kitten and it was so gorgeous I was
cuddling it and I wouldn't let it go. Next thing I knew it had weed
all over my smart top that I was wearing to go out for lunch! "
KIAN torments Nicky about his phobias!
" Nicky's terrified about being stuck in a lift so I'm always
drapping him into them, jumping up and down, pretending it's
stuck, anything just to freak him out! Actually...I torment Nicky
about most his phobias! "
BRYAN was once a self-confessed geek!
" I collected Discovery Magazine. Looking back it was such a
boring thing to do cos it's all about stuff like the Kings and
Queens of England. I used to keep each copy carefully away in a
file! "
NICKY snogged 11 girls in one night!
" It was at a party to celebrat our exam results and I must have
been about 15. It's one of those nights when everyone just goes
out and goes mad. I was at this nightclub called The Furnace in
Dublin, which has actually closed down now, and I must have had
about 11 snogs. I don't think it was any more than that! "
SHANE wears dirty knickers!
" I went away for a three-day rugby tournament and I forgot all
my boxer shorts. We were in the middle of nowhere and I had to
wear the same pair day in, day out, even during the matched. They
smelt after a while. "
MARK was told off by a girlfriend's parents!
" I was meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time and
trying to shound like the nicest little kid ever. They asked about
my interests and I said 'I like singing, dancing, acting, and
go-karting. Their faces dropped and I got a huge lecture about
the danger of go-karting and was warned never go take their
daughter near a go-kart, it was so embarrassing. "
BRYAN can spit a long way!
" I bite my fingernails and spit them out. I once spat off a roof
and hit someone. I didn't mean to but it was a direct hit. "
