Do you like having your picture taken?
Not really no. I never think I end up looking that good so I think 'what's the point?'
Did you enjoy having your snap taken when you were a kid?
Yeah, I used to love it, isn't that weird?! I used to muck about completely. I was a total exhibitionist!
What's the best thing about photo shoots?
If you get a good photographer and a good location and you've had a good night's sleep the night before, then we can have a real laugh. They can be loads of fun.
And what's the worst?
They are so boring! When you've got to stand still in the same pose for hours on end and keep smiling like it's the first time you've done it, that can be such a pain.
Who's the vainest member of Westlife?
Kian. He'll hate me for saying it, but it's true. It's just cos he always likes to look his best though, that's all.
Who takes the longest to get ready?
This sounds like I'm picking on him now, but I'd have to say Kian again. He's kinda more stylised than the rest of us, we just get up there and it all falls into place.
Who pulls the cheesiest poses?
Oh that has to be Nicky - he's really, really bad with his pouting. It's hilarious once you notice it!
Who's the goon who's always blinking or looking the wrong way in shoots?
Mark, he goons around loads. He's always halfway through a blink or he's gabbing away when the flash goes off! He's such an eedjit!
What would happen on your ideal photo?
I'd like to do it back home in Sligo. I wouldn't care what we did as long as it was at home. That would be great - write that down!
What's your most embarrassing photo shoot story?
I tell you what I'm most embarrassed about, and that's our album cover shoot. I look like the elephant-man! It's hideous!
Who complains the most about how they look in pics?
Me definitely! I always think I look the worst in every shot we ever do. I think I'm the least photogenic member of the band. Aaah! Ain't that sad?
People think photo shoots are all glitz and glamour - how true is this?
Photo shoots are sometimes a pain in the arse to be honest. When you're not tired they can be a fantastic laugh, but if you are tired then they can be exceptionally difficult. It's all the getting ready and the hanging about that make them so tough.
Do you ever play practical jokes on one another when you're about to have your pic taken - and who's the worst at it?
Oh yeah. In fact, they're always playing them on me, all the time, but I give as good as I get!
And finally, whose photo shoot would you most like to be a fly on the wall at?
Any Playboy front cover-shoot! Ha! Ha! That would be great.
