Steve's Close Shave!

Boyzone's resident cheeky fella talks pants, showers and, um, shaving his chest!

When was the last time you did something cheeky?

I always do! Just recently I was taking the mickey out of a friend's name. I can't tell you what her name is, because she'll kill me, but I basically started singing Macarena and putting her name in it. It was really funny at first, but now everyone keeps singing it.

Is it true you used to sneak into clubs without paying?

Hahaha! Yeah, what we'd do was one person would buy a ticket, then when they opened the door to let him in, about twenty of us would run in. Whoever didn't get caught got to stay!

What was the naughtiest thing you did at school?

I used to sign my name in the role book for days when I wasn't in. I'd Tipp-Ex out the crosses and put ticks so it looked like I had really good attendance!

When did you last get into trouble?

I've been in trouble with our bouncers a few times recently. Usually at parties, when I've had a few drinks and wandered off on my own somewhere so they've had to come and find me. They don't like that!

Have you ever been caught somewhere that you shouldn't have been?

Yeah! Ages ago, myself and Ronan were in town and we were quite bored, so he convinced me to go to the cinema to see True Lies. Only, I'd promised to go to see it with my brother and his wife the next week, so I didn't tell him I'd already seen it. But when we turned up, the ticket guy said, "Ooh, you must really like this film!" and dropped me right in it!

Which bodily part do you wash first in the shower?

(Blushing) I've got a ritual where I wash my hair and face, then put on my conditioner, then start on my body. I work from top to toe, making sure I scrub all the bits that need to be scrubbed!

What colour are your pants and where do you buy them?

They're white and they're from Gucci. I bought loads from there recently and I only wear white pants - unless I'm wearing multi-coloured Y-fronts of course, hahaha!

Have you ever been naked in a public place?

Not that I can remember...Oh, hang on - probably when I was about two and I ran around naked on the beach. And before you ask, no, there are no photos!

When were you last really embarrassed?

Yesturday! I was in the car with Keith and his wife Lisa when she looked at me and I went bright red. I don't know why, but she said to me, "You're thinking of something naughty and dirty aren't you?" And even though I wasn't, I didn't know what to say so I went even redder! Terrible.

Have you ever shaved your chest hair into a heart shape?

Hahaha! A heart shape? I've shaved my chest before, but not into a heart shape - why would I want to? (Giggles) I s'pose it's something to think about though!
