RED HOT AND BLUE - More! October 16th 2002
The sexiest, filthiest boy band around reveal a bit more than we were expecting...
When we meet up with the Blue boys at a swanky North London hotel, they've got a bad case of the-morning-after-the-night-before. Duncan's having a whispered conversation with his publicist about whether he was spotted snogging someone at a party last night. Ant's next to arrive, and although the boys insist they're single, we can't help overhearing that his girlfriend just dropped him off! Simon appears and curls up for a quick kip, while Lee collapses on the floor as soon as he walks in and watches kids TV. But 10 packets of crisps larer, the boys are back on form and ready to spill...
Dunc and Lee, you made it into MORE!'s 69 Sexiest Men poll. How did you feel about that?
D: It was wicked! Thank you to everyone who voted for me - number 9! - I couldn't believe it.
L: Dunc rang me to tell me when I was in hospital, and it really cheered me up.
Are you ok now Lee?
L: Yeah, we were go-carting and I took a corner too fast. The go-cart flipped over and ended up on top of me, with the wheel spinning on my chest and stomach. It was agony. They thought I might need skin grafts but in the end it was OK. I'm going to have a huge scar though. (Lee pulls his shirt up to reveal a huge red scar that stretches right across his six-pack).
Bet it hasn't put the girls off! In fact, when did you last have a snog?
L: Last night with some bird I met at a party - but I'm not telling you any more than that!
D: (looking shifty) About 2 weeks ago with a friend of mine called Cath. We've been mates for years and we always snog each other. It's no biggie - just a snog.
A: Mine was ages ago - at least 5 months.
S: Last night!! I can't remember her name - she was fit though!
Who would you like to pull up kerbside with?
D: Brintey Spears - I totally love her, man. I like the whole girl-next-door look, especially with that twinkle in the eye that says she's really naughty.
S: Christina Milian's my ideal - she's amazing. I really go for teeth and eyes like hers. Oh, and she has to have nice nails, and be shorter than me.
A: I fancy someone, but she's not famous. I don't see the point in lusting after someone famous - it's not like you're going to get with them is it? I like brunettes with a nice tan and green or brown eyes.
L: I like blondes. And she has to have those eyes where you think: "Ah! She's got hidden depths." I'm not a mad celeb fan either. I've done it once, dating Liz from Atomic Kitten and I never want to do it again. It's hard enough having a normal life as it is. When you're seeing a famous girl it's twice as hard - the press just don't leave you alone. Posh and Becks must be so tight to be able to put up with that shit.
What about you and Kate Lawler, Duncan - what was the deal there?
D: Nothing happened. I was asked to do a piece to camera on the final day of Big Brother because apparently she'd said that she fancied me. At the after-show party we swapped numbers and I said: "If you ever want advive, give me a call." We spoke a few times, but there's no chemistry there at all.
Have you ever been in love?
D: I think I got pretty close wih Anya. I'll always have a soft spot for her, but when we were together, about a year ago, there was loads of rubbish in the press about me seeing other girls. So she started feeling like a mig, and because we didn't know each other very well she found it difficult to trust me.
A: I dont think I've ever been in love. I did go out with this girl for ages when I was younger but I chucked her 'cos she got too possessive.
S: I fell in love about 20 times in Asia. I'm a sucker for a pretty face and I fall in love too easily.
L: Er, the only girl I ever loved was my cat, Maddy.
Who was your first crush?
D: Kylie Minogue. I bought all her singles and all her videos, and I had a picture of her next to my bed that I kissed goodnight.
A: Louise Nurding. When I was about 12 I loved her.
S: Mine was Joan Collins - she always looked really nice in Dynasty when she got up in the morning. I think that's why I go for older women now.
Do you remember your first kiss?
D: It was with a girl called Sorrel when I was 11 or 12. We really talked it up and when we actually did it we agreed that it felt quite weird. We didn't do it again for quite some time.
A: I was 12, and I was playing spin the bottle round some girls house. Her name was Kelly and she's going to batter me when she reads this.
S: I was about 12 too. Her name was Lisa and she stuck her tongue in my mouth. I tried to copy some actors I'd seen snogging on TV, but Lisa said I was doing it wrong and showed me the moves.
L: I was 8 and I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to try a new way of kissing. She said OK, but when I put my tongue in her mouth she ran home crying!
And when did you loose your virginity?
D: 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. I wanted to wait until I was with someone special but it ended up being a bit grim, probably because I was drunk. It was with a girl called Naomi around the back of the swimming pool and as we were doing it I could someone else having sex nearby. It turned out that I'd been listening to my best mate John with some girl, and he'd heard me as well. Very embarassing.
A: I lost my virginity a week after my 18th birthday. A girl in a bar gave me her number. We went out a couple of times and I gave her one!
S: I was 16, and it was with a girl called Lisa Riley.
D: What, the one of You've Been Framed?
S: Yeah, she was good, really bouncy!
L: I was really young, about 12 or 13. I'm not sure who I lost it to. I had sex with 2 different girls within a couple of days and I can't remember who was first.
So, what's the best tune to have sex to?
S: Barry White, man. The old-timers really kick it!
L: I like to have sex to slow songs. I'd say the best was Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing.
A: Father Figure by George Michael. Not a Blue song, though! Imagine pumping away to All Rise!
D: I reckon something with a really good R&B beat - like Freak Me by Another Level. (Dunc starts singing) Let me lick you up and down... That's a sexy, dirty, grinding song!
What's your favourtite position?
A: Watching TV at the same time, especially if the football's on!
S: I'm pretty versatile, I like to experiment. I like it up against a wall with her legs wrapped around me.
D: It depends what mood I'm in, but I'm not a boring missionary man. What's your favourite position?
I'm not telling you!
D: I reckon it's doggy - all women like doggy...
L: If you want to know you'll have to go to extreme lengths to find out - if you know what I mean!
Cheeky!
L: Or we could sit down and watch porno together and I'll point out my favourite bits!
Who's the most well-endowed in the band?
D: I don't go looking at everyones penis so I don't know - and I'm going to be modest about myself.
A: I can't answer that! I don't look at their knobs!
S: I know, but I'm not going to say.
L: I reckon it's Dunc!
If you have to have threesome with another member of the band and a groupie, who would you choose?
S: I'd never have sex with a groupie - but if I did I wouldn't care which of this lot was involved.
A: I'd never sleep with a groupie either. But if it was a life or death situation, I'd probably choose Si because he'd make me look good!
L: Urgh, I'm not answering that!
D: God, I don't know. Lee would be really funny, and Ant would totally spin out. he'd just hate it. Si would probably love it!
What's the oddest place you've had sex?
L: In an alleyway with my ex-girlfriend Kerry, after a curry. We went around the back of some blokes car and i lifted her onto the bonnet....
A: Underneath a slide in a playground when all the kids had gone home.
S: On the hard shoulder of the M62. My car broke down and it was cold - we needed to warm up.
D: I did it in a train toilet with my mate Cath about three years ago. It was pretty odd because there wasn't much room and the train was moving all over the place!
What's the most embarassing thing that's ever happened to you?
A: Lee pulled my trousers down in front of loads of fans a couple of years ago.
D: When I lived in Devon, I went camping with my mates and I was having sex in my car in a field. I thought we were alone, but when I looked up I saw all my mates peering in and laughing.
S: Not being able to get it up is probably the most embarrassing thing!
Does that happen a lot then, Si?
S: Only if she wants it more than three times in one night. I'm only human!
And with that, the boys saunter off to pose in front of the flash car for the photo shoot. Then, when we get back to our office, we find a special message from Simon at the end of the interview tape: "Just to set the record straight, I've got the biggest knob, not Duncan." So now you know...
