Westlife exposed
Watching Westlife's video for If I Let You Go will never be
the same again after the lads let slip a secret in an interview with The Box.
Shane and co revealed that as they walked away in the end shot, they all had
their bits hanging out.
Bryan made Ronan's mate puke!
We were at Ronan's having dinner. One of his friends was having a drink and we swapped his short with a swig of vinegar. Then we started going 'Drink, drink, drink!' He did it, his face turned green and then he puked everywhere!
Mark dressed up as a posh Ladee!
When I was in scouts we put on a play and I had to dress as a woman! I was in a small scene with another guy - he was dressed up as a sporty woman and I was working a posh look. I was wearing a scarf, my mums high heels, earrings, a skirt and Mums big coat from about 20 years ago. It was in front of my whole parish - can you imagine how embarrassing it 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 about midnight and I was sitting on this railing out on a balcony that was a bit wet. Next thing you know, my foot slipped and I fell back. Luckily enough my foot caught in a clothes line which broke my fall. I fell headfirst about two storeys and I was knocked unconscious 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 aqed was living in Leeds. Me and my three mates 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 band called OTT cos it was about that time that OTT were about to hit Britain. And they believed us! They asked us if we knew Boyzone and we pretended we did. They even asked for our autographs! In a way it wasn't so much a lie as a premonition 'cos three years later I am in a boyband and I do know Boyzone!
Mark was peed on!
My auntie had a newborn kitten and it was so gorgeous I was cuddling it and I wouldn't let go. Next thing I know 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 dragging him into them, jumping up and down pretending its stuck, anything just to freak him out! Actually I torment Nicky about most of his phobias
Bryan was once a self confessed geek!
I collected discovery magazine. Looking back it was such a boring thing to do 'cos its all about stuff like teh Kings and Queens of England. I used to keep each copy carefully stashed away in a file.
Nicky snogged eleven girls in one night!
It was a party to celebrate our exam results and I must have been about 15. It's one of those nights when everyone goes out and goes mad. I was at this nightclub called the furnace in Dublin which has actually closed down now!
Shane wears dirty knickers
I went away for a three - day rugby tournament and I forgot all about my boxer shorts. We were in teh middle of nowhere and I had to wear the same pair day in, day out, even during the matches. They smelt after a while!
Mark was told off by a girlfriends parents!
I was meeting my girlfriends parents for the first time and I was trying to sound like the nicest little kid ever. They asked me about my interests and I said ' I like singing, dancing and go-carting' Their faces dropped and I got a huge lecture about the dangers of go-carting and was warned never to take their daughter near a go-cart. It was so embarrassing!
Shane used to flash on the beach!
When I was younger I was always 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 come past and see the lot.
Bryan once peed on his aunties face!
I was only a baby at the time. She was changing my nappy and I peed directly in her face. She loves telling that story in front of my friends!
Nicky's mum dressed him as a girl!
My mum always used to dress me up 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 in blue and there are loads and loads of pictures of us wearing the same t shirt and shorts. Really nice.....
Bryan was a very bad person
All my aunties hated me as a child and they refused to look after me. I used to put bleach in the milk bottles and I once flushed my mums wedding rings down the toilet. She never found them again! I also cut my own hair the day before communion because I had a horrid bowl 'do which swept to the side. My mum wasn't happy.
Shane snogged his girlfriends mates!
Load's of them! When I was about 14 if I was with just one girl I'd always end up with three or four of her friends, one after another. In fact, I 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 neighbours window twice, once with a water bomb and then with 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 I don't think there are any hard feelings.
Nicky was the headmasters pet!
My headmaster was a football manager, so he absolutely loved me! I remember Georgina and I first started going 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 fart. My teacher who was a priest made me write 'I must not fart in class' one hundred times. I left 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 something a girl would definitely have had. I'd hide him under my bed when my friends came round.
Bryan peed in public!
I'd always be doing it just when lots of people were walking past and my pee was trickling down the lane. They'd have to jump over it to avoid stepping in it.
Kian blubbed in a club!
When I first broke up with my first serious girlfriend I was absolutely gutted. One night I was in this club and of course my ex-girlfriend was there. And after a few drinks I got a little emotional and I ended up just slumped in a corner crying my eyes out all night!
Kian dressed up as Marilyn Monroe!
It was for a musical variety show and I sang 'Happy birthday' also dressed as Cilla Black, and I have to say I was good at both of them. I had a two big balloons up my dress, a blonde 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 this to anyone before but when I was in primary school the circus came to town and everyone in my class got a ticket each, but I wanted and extra one. I remember watching my best friend, Colm, putting his ticket in his pencil case and it was so tempting, so I stole it! I've never told him to this day. Sorry, Colm!
Bryan wears girls bra tops!
There's a photo of me on holiday a few years ago wearing a pair of jeans and my sisters tiny pink bra top. I had my hair up and sunglasses on my head. I did it for a laugh and my sister still keeps the picture on her wall.
