So who were the culprits?
Sean wasn't there and neither was Scott 'cos Kerry his girlfriend was over and she's pregnant. Bryan wasn't there and Mark and Nicky faded at about 5am. In the end it was me, Abs, Ritchie, J and Shane. Somebody sat on a table in Shane's room and it collapsed. It was an accident and it was a really old table anyway. It didn't cost £10,000 - the press just got hold of the story and blew it out of all proportion. Honestly!
How is Bryan's ear infection?
He's fine. He got it in Hong Kong. He couldn't fly to Japan with us 'cos he would have burst an eardrum.
Has he seen much of Kerry?
Yeah, she's here at the moment and she's looking great. She's healthy and happy and, erm, pretty big. She's been making us feel the baby kick. Urgh! I could feel where it had kicked my hand for about three days. It was cool. Georgina (Nicky's girlfriend) came out with her, too.
And we hear you've been getting jiggy with one of your dancers...
Oh, that is so not true! There is nothing going on, I promise. We went out one night and ended up snogging - but that was all. Someone saw us and tried to sell the story to a newspaper. It was all very innocent.
Have there been any arguments?
None I can think of. We've had a couple of minor accidents, though! We were playing football in Hong Kong and Shane kicked the floor instead of the ball and hurt his foot. He thought he wasn't going to be able to perform but we kinda made him. Me and Nicky started calling him Shauna 'cos he was being such a girl. He got a bit annoyed. He was like, "Stop calling me Shauna!" We were like, "OK, stop being a sissy and we'll stop calling you Shauna."
When can we see you again?
We'll be home for a week's holiday before we start recording the next album. We've written a few songs but none of them are finished. I think this one's going to be very different. The first two albums were similar in style and both very UK-based - we want to branch out on this one. Hopefully it'll have more of an international appeal.
