Nicky on Westlife

Nicky on Shane
Shane is great and we get on very well, we have a good laugh and he can take a joke.He's pretty cool and very popular with the girls, but he can be quite vain, particularly about his hair. He can't pass a mirror without looking into it. He's quite into clothes, too, but he's got the worst fashion sense out of the whole band. He doesn't have a clue. We're always warning him the fashion police will be after him, so when he arrives in the morning in a dodgy outfit we pretend to go over and handcuff him. He'll happily wear white socks and shoes and jeans and bright colored trousers that don't match his shirt.But the worst ever was when we were in Tenerife to shoot the If I Let You Go video. We had a day off beforehand and were all down at the pool. He came down in a vest, really short shorts, flip-flops with socks, a bum bag tied to his waist - and a pair of shades. He just looked like a typical tourist, but the worst thing was he thought he looked really cool. It was terrible!

Nicky on Mark
Mark is the deceptive one. When I first met him he wouldn’t say boo to a goose and he wouldn’t open his heart out for any of us, but when you get to know him you discover the boy is really mad!
Sometimes we have to do a day of solid interviews from nine in the morning to nine at the night and he’ll just get so fed up answering the same questions hour after hour that he starts making things up.
He doesn’t do it in England or Ireland because he’ll get found out, but when he’s in a foreign country it’s different. We all do it a bit but Mark is the worst. The code phrase is: “This one time in Cyprus....” and then he’ll start to tell this unbelievable story. None of us has ever been to Cyprus but he tells it like it’s really happened, we’re all in stitches and none of the interviewers can work out why.
Mark also lies about his age when he’s chatting up girls. He’s only 20 but sometimes in a club if he’s with a girl who’s a bit older, he’ll turn to me and say in Irish: “I’m 23 by the way”. We always speak in Irish when we don’t want people to know what we’re saying!

Nicky on Kian
Kian is the most serious in the band and the most passionate about what we do. He always seems to have a point to make. He's thinking about Westlife all the time but the other side of it is that he has a fiery temper. He'll lose his head and start swearing but then we all swear. Spend an hour with us and a swear box and you'd be rich!I remember one occasion and we'd been at a party all night. We'd literally had 20 minutes sleep and we got on a plane from East Germany to Amsterdam. Everyone was conked out on the flight but our tour manager woke up and took Kian's watch from his wrist without him noticing.When Kian got off the plane, he realised it had gone and because he'd been drunk he couldn't remember when he'd last seen it.
He'd spent pounds 2,500 on it and it wasn't insured. He was just about to bawl his eyes out when the tour manager gave it back tohim.If that was me, I would have been so relieved that I would have given the guy a hug but Kian was the opposite and was really annoyed. He freaked out and started shouting at him: "Don't you ever do that to me again". He'll look back on it now and think it was hilarious, but he wasn't happy at the time!
