TOP OF THE POPS ISSUE 70/DECEMBER 2000 Ladle on the lip gloss, flutter your eyelashes and pucker up for mushy mistletoe mayhem with Westlife!

Who would you most like to kiss under the mistletoe?
Shane: Ooh, definitely Faith Hill. She's absolutely stunning. She's a gorgeous, lovely lady.
Kian: Actually I'd like to kiss me mammy!
Bryan: I don't have to think about that - Kerry, of course! All this Christmas I'll have a stash of mistletoe in my pocket and I'll just keep taking it out. As we haven't got to be so secretive this year, we can kiss whenever we want!
Mark: Angelina Jolie, definitely, but I don't know what her husband would say about that! But she's just very, very sexy. She's over in the UK filming Tomb Raider so you never know, I might bump into her!
Nicky: I have to say Georgina! But if not her, then Liz Hurley. I'm still waiting for her to call, but obviously she's not up for it!

Should a Christmas kiss be a quick peck on the cheek or a steamy clinch? Shane: For someone I was going out with, or wanted to go out with, it would be a full-on Christmassy smooch, definitely. Pecks on the cheek should come with hugs for, like, your aunties. But romantically speaking, there's nothing better than being in front of a big roaring fire with a Christmas tree on your right hand side, a rug underneath, and your woolly socks and tracky bottoms on.

Were you ever embarrassed about being smothered with snogs under the mistletoe?
Shane: Nah, I was like, 'Come on over. Let's try this thing out!' You didn't think I was shy, did you? Well, I wasn't really a shy lad, not when it suited me to be otherwise!
Mark: Probably the first time I was kissed under the mistletoe was when I was really young and one of my aunties grabbed me and snogged the cheek off me! How embarrassing. But hey, I guess that's their job and that's why you love them. But I'm sure I've used the old mistletoe at the occasional Christmas party in the past. It definitely works.
