MARK
Do you like having your picture taken?
Not really no. I don't really like to see pictures of myself - I just feel really stupid in front of the camera, I don't know why.
Did you enjoy having your snap taken when you were a kid?
I didn't mind having it done when I was a kid but at the back of mind I just knew I was gonna look stupid! Even way back then.
What's the best thing about photo shoots?
When the photographer goes; 'right that's it, you can go now!'
And what's the worst?
They take so, so long. It's such a long, drawn-out process and they get really boring.
Who's the vainest member of Westlife?
I'd have to say Kian, actually no Nicky and Shane are pretty bad too. They all like to make sure they look just right.
Who takes the longest to get ready?
Kian - definitely! He's never from in front of the mirror!
Who pulls the cheesiest poses?
Ha! Ha! Kian again! He's gonna get me for this, but it's so TRUE!
Who's the goon who's always blinking of looking the wrong way in shoots?
There's not really any one of us that does it more than the others. We all have our fair share of goon moments.
What would happen on your ideal photo?
It would be a photo shoot at home of me in my bed sleeping!
Who complains the most about how they look in pics?
I think it's probably me. I never really like the way I turn out in pictures.
People think photo shoots are all glitz and glamour - how true is this?
No way, they're not glitzy or glamorous at all. They're not that bad but they are really long days and they can be quite tiring.
Do you ever play practical jokes on one another?
We like to have pretend fights, give each other a quick dig on the arm and then run.
What would you do to get someone to laugh in a picture?
I'd start gabbing away to him in this little dialect we've invented. Can I do it? I don't think anyone outside the band would understand it.
And finally, whose photo shoot would you like to be a fly on the wall at?
If you could get Melinda Messenger, Mariah Carey, Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Aniston all together for one photo shoot.
