*Are you romantic?
I can be very romantic, but not all the time. I'm certainly no Romeo in Shakespeare underneath a balcony! I think the most romantic thing I ever did was on Valentine's Day when I got a friend of mine to hide a ring and rose underneath a bush in the park and then I took my girlfriend for a walk there. Just as we were passing the bush I told her to look under it and she found the presents. She loved it.

*What do you daydream about?
It depends what I've heard or what I've been listening to. When I know that I'm going to get some time for myself or time off from the band, I always start daydreaming about what I'm going to do.

*How much sleep do you need?
I'd say that I need about 5 hours a night now. It used to be 8 hours but because we're so busy, I never get to have that much. How do I cope? I just get put on my feet by someone and get pushed off to our first appointment of the day!

*Have you ever written poetry?
Never romantically. I wrote at school. Well, I say poetry - it was more like rude limericks. I found it easier to write stuff that was really rude for some reason!

*What's your top beauty tip?
When I'm feeling tired in the morning and I have to try and look fresh for pictures, I hold my eyes wide open and splash my eyeballs with cold water! I know it sounds horrid, but it seems
to work and get rid of my red eyes.

*Do you worry about your body?
I try to look as toned as I can and go to the gym if I get the chance, but, to be honest, I'm quite happy with the state of my body. I'm always grateful for what I've got. When you see what some people have to deal with, having handicaps and things like that, then it makes you feel grateful just for being healthy.

*Have you ever felt lonely?
Lots of times. I'm still 19 and I'm part of a successful band which means spending a lot of time away from home and that can get lonely. I've always got the other lads with me though, which is great. I hate it when you've got time off at home and you know in a couple of days you've got to go off travelling. You might not get to see your family for another 6 weeks or so. Then it gets lonely.


NICKY

*What's the most boring interview question you're asked?
It's not that it's boring, but we do always get asked about how the band got together and how it felt to knock Ronan off the No 1 spot.

*When did you first learn about the birds and the bees?
I learnt it from talking with friends, but I remember my dad sat me down and asked me how much I knew. Then he said if I needed to ask anything, I could ask him. I've always been very close to my parents so it wasn't too embarrassing.

*How attractive are you on a scale of 1 to 10?
Ooooh (chuckles) that's a difficult question! I reckon I'm nothing special - probably a four or a five. What a horrid question to answer!

*What do you worry about the most?
I worry about loadsa things in my life. I'm like me mum who's the biggest worrier ever! I tend to worry about things that'll affect other people more then myself. I worry about how people are at home when I haven't been able to see them for a while.

*Would you ever pose naked in a magazine?
I don't think so. I mean, if someone offered me all the Lottery money I might - just might - pose nude!

*Do you read newspapers?
Yeah, I try to have a look at them whenever I get the chance, which isn't often. I usually start at the back of the paper in the sport section, and work my way forwards. I like to look at the pop and gossip pages as well of course!

*How many pillows do you like in bed?
I always try to have two. I think three is too many - you can't get your head comfy with three. But two is perfect! I like a huge feather duvet and a funky cover to snuggle under too!

*How many times have you fallen in love?
Oh just the once, with Georgina! We've been together for five years now and we're still in love. She's fantastic and whenever I have any spare time I always try really hard to see her. Although it's hard coz I'm away with the band so much. I probably phone her between 15 to 20 times a day!

*Do you want to be a dad when you're older?
Yeah I definitely want to settle down when I'm a bit older, which'll be a few years yet. I reckon I'd like to get married, have a nice house and have three kids - at least one boy and one girl anyway!

*When did you last do your own washing?
You know I can't even remember the last time I did my washing! When I was still at home all the time my mum did it for me. Then when I was playing for Leeds United, it was all done for us, and now we don't really have the time to go down to the launderette!


BRYAN

*When did you last stay up all night?
That was in Sweden recently. We did a big show and then had a massive party in one of our rooms. There were Precious a1 and we and we had a mad time - we stayed up all night and totally wrecked the room!

*Is it weird having your love life scrutinised by the papers?
It's a bit weird actually! Even when I don't meet people, it appears in the papers that I have. I'm always reading about these girls I'm supposed to be going out with, who've I've never even met! Mind you, when I do go out with people I'll never deny it. I owe it to the fans to be honest, they buy our records so why should I lie to them about if I'm going out with someone or not? I don't really mind my love life being talked about – it’s part and parcel of the job isn't it?

*If one of WL suddenly left, what would happen?
We'd just carry on. It would be hard coz each member brings their own special personality to the band. I can't imagine that ever happening.

*Will you get married and have kids in the near future?
(Looks shocked) I'll have to wait until the band's finished or a good few years down the line when the band's more established that's for sure. I'd like to have a wife and kids by the time I'm 30 though. At the moment I haven't time for a girlfriend never mind a wife!

*Is that why you and Lene Agua split up?
Well yeah, Lene and me lasted for about a month and a half. We were quite serious about each other, but we just never got the time to meet, so we finished it. We're still friends though.

*What one thing are you most sensitive about?
My weight! I have to always watch what I eat. If I eat like I did when I was younger I'd balloon again. I used to get lots of hassle about my size when I was at school, which upset me. The lads give a bit of stick about it.

*How did you learn about the birds and bees?
From other kids at school! You know how it is, you just pick of bits of information by listening to what everyone else is whispering about!

*When was the last time you were scared?
There was a plane crash recently when a plane took off from New York and one of my friends was taking off from there at the same time. Fortunately she wasn't on that plane, but I was really scared in case she was.

*What programme do you hate to miss?
I never miss 'Friends'. When
I'm not at home my sister tapes it for me and when I come home I watch 7 or 8 in a row! I used to always try and watch Coronation Street, but I've given up trying to keep up with it coz I'm away so much.

*Would you ever have plastic surgery?
Never! I'm happy with what I've got. This is what God gave me and I wouldn't try and change it. What about when I get all saggy and old? Nah, I'm not bothered, maybe I'll start using Oil Of Ulay!


KIAN

*When did you last have a nice long lie-in?
Ooooh, it'd have to be after Nicky's 21st birthday. We had a day off and I slept 'til 6.30 that evening! I was up until 4 in the morning so I must've been catching up on my sleep, big-time!

*Can you remember your last nightmare?
Yeah, I dreamt we were doing a concert at Wembley. When we came out on the stage the crowd just stood there looking at us. We started singing and no one was cheering - and then we forgot the songs. I was so glad when I woke up!

*What's the sexiest food you could cook for a girl?
I'm good at cooking Italian. Snuggling up and eating a pizza together - that's always a good one! Especially if the topping's ham, mushroom and pineapple. I can cook stir-fries and spaghetti bolognese, but I don't bother with the herbs and spices coz you can buy some great sauces!

*What do you daydream about?
Performing at Wembley, Madison Square Garden in New York and in Sydney too.

*Do you ever feel guilty about eating meat?
Not at all, I love meat. Chicken, beef, bacon... I love it all! It's totally out of the question that I could become a vegetarian coz I love meat too much.

*What was the last secret you let slip?
I'm generally very good at keeping secrets, if someone trusts me with one. My problem is that I let my own secrets slip coz I forget they're secrets. I used to do it at school with my teachers. I'd say I did three hours homework to my teacher. Then half an hour later the teacher would ask me if I saw the football on TV the night before and I’d say yes, and she'd realise I was lying!

What's the most ridiculous story you've ever heard about yourself?
It wasn't about me in particular - it was about the whole band. I read this report about 5 months ago saying we were 'Top Of The Paupers'! Apparently we're completely broke and have to borrow money off families and friends to go shopping. The truth is, being in WL is like a normal job and we get paid a set amount. We're not millionaires, but we're certainly not paupers!

*Do you forget to brush your teeth?
No way - you never know. I might be in for a bit of a kiss with someone! I feel dirty if I don't clean my teeth regularly. The secret of snogging is to always have a pack of strong mints on you!

*Have you ever got into a fight coz of a girl?
No, but I nearly did once. When I was about 15 I was going out with this girl and there was this bunch of lads who really liked her. They knew I was going out with her so they used to tease me and try to get me worked up by saying horrible things. I'm not violent and would never get into a fight unless I had to. It's always better to turn the other cheek.
