TOP OF THE POPS ISSUE 69/NOVEMBER 2000
A fashion-mad, gamblin golfer? This can't be the Nicky Westlife we all know and love!
What's the girliest thing about you?
Probably my genital area! (Laughs.) No, it would have to be my hair cos it's quite long at the moment. I don't think it's girlie even if most people would. But I'm quite hard, like, you know. I'm also very into fashion. I buy all the fashion mags and stuff, but I wear mad trousers and mad jackets. I don't have any as mad as Ronan's, though! No red and white flowery trousers for me! Actually I quite like Ronan's trousers. I just don't have any cos he got there first!
What hobby would you like to take up?
Recently I've really been getting into my golf - it's so addictive. Myself, Kian and Bryan are all into it. So are all my friends back in Ireland. Whever I go home now all I want to do is play golf. It's a great day out: 18 rounds then a great dinner and a few drinks.
Isn't it a fusty old man's sport?
Not at all. It's very competitive - especially when we start throwing clubs at each other! My handicap's 18, which is pretty good, but you can't rate me over Kian, Bryan and Shane - it just depends who's on form on the day. We're very competitive, though - we always play for money and you've reminded me, Bryan still owes me a tenner!
When was the last time someone let you down?
Anto, our tour manager. I've asked him a million times for a copy of our schedule - my life for the next two years. He keeps saying, "No problem," but so far if hasn't materialised.
If your sister had to date one of Westlife, who would you choose?
None of them! No way! I'd slap their heads off if they even went near her! Kian would be all romantic and treat her nice, but if he had an argument with her, he'd tear her apart. If I had to choose, it would be Mark cos he's gentle and respects people.
