We sit in on a hot gossip session wih Blue and discover their deepest secrets

Just imahine being a fly on the wall when the Blue boys are hanging out. You'd hear all about Lee and Simon's alien theories, how Duncan feels about his love life, what Antony had for dinner last night...
Well, you're in luck, because we arranged an afternoon of table football for the boys and taped their every word. Read on to find out what Blue really gossip about when they think no-one's listening...

Simon: I had the nicest takeaway last night. Special fried rice and chicken in black bean sauce, with a lovely pint of beer.
Ant: Oh, I had Chinese too. It was Lucy's birthday (Ant's girlfriend) and we stayed in for a nice meal.
Duncan: Lucky you. I didn't eat anything last night - all I'd had was that pizza we ate before we got the plane back from Italy.
Ant: What, you mean you didn't eat anything after that?
Duncan: Nah. I was hungry when I got home, but I just feel asleep. The first thing I ate was a sausage roll this morning when I got picked up.
Simon: I go up at 3pm today.
Duncan: That's so unfair. You lot had lie-ins this morning, but I had a photoshoot with a women's mag. I woke up and Johnny (the boys tour manager) was outside waiting for me. All I could think was how I could get out of working today.
Ant: I spent the morning getting rid of my old clothes. My brother, Louis, is walking around with a new wardrobe this afternoon.
Simon: I've just done that with my mobile - had a clear out of girls' numbers. It's like, "Why have I got you in my phone...?"
Duncan: Out with the old, in the with new. I'd like to go out on a date tonight. I haven't been on a proper date since before the tour, man.
Ant: My last date was about two years ago, when we were launching. I took her clubbing in the West End and our names were supposed to be on the guest list, but they weren't and I looked like a ****.

Girls, girls, girls....
Lee: What's the worst thing a girl can do on a date?
Ant: It's awful when they talk about themselves too much
Simon: What's worse is if she wear chipped nail varnish. A girl should never, ever, do that in my presence
Duncan: Or if she arrives looking tarty. Yuck! I hate it when a girl has to keep pulling her skirt down.
Simon: Exactly - if you don't feel comfortable in a skirt, don't wear it, because it bugs us if you keep fiddling with it...
Ant: I think the trendy-but-comfortable look is nice. I buy Lucy clothes all the time.
Duncan: Ahh. That's so nice. I want a girlfriend. It seems that everyone around me is in relationships and meeting people.
Simon: What keeps me going is the fact I know there's someone out there for me. I just haven't found her yet. I wentout last Saturday night and everyone on the dancefloor had a girl, except me.
Lee: I'm not seeing any girls at the moment, but then I haven't been out of a big relationship that long.
Ant: You'll meet someone.
Lee: No I won't. I'll be one of those tragic blokes who never finds the love of their life.
Ant: Well, I found Luce. She's just a normal girl, a friend of a friend, and we hit it off straight away.
Simon: You're lucky, I haven't seen anyone I fancy for ages.
SDuncan: Me neither. I am looking, though. Always looking. It's hard to meet a normal girl because they're either obsessed with Blue or they can't handle the fact that I'm away all the time. GOing out with another celeb is just as hard because of all the **** you get in the papers. I mean, look at you and Liz, Lee. That split you up the first time around.
Lee: Yeah, it was hard.
Simon: I have a thing about married women at the moment. Seriously man, all the best women are taken. Hey, remember that song? (Singing) "Why are all you good girls taken every time? Why do I keep falling for someone else's wife?"
Ant: Do you remember when we used to compete to see who could chat up the most girls? Duncan, you've probably snogged the most, or you Lee. I reckon we've snogged about 250 girls between us.
Simon: Most of them were yours, Ant. You were a rude boy before you got all loved-up. Lee, you were always a bit cooler with the ladies.
Ant: Lee, you like one of those Girls Aloud girls, don't you?
Lee: The ginger one? I think she's got a lot of, erm, good qualities...
Duncan: I've got a bit of a thing for Cheryl - she's lovely. I like girls with dark hair and dark eyes. And if you believe what you read in the papers they're all going out, getting drunk, getting into fights... they're wild.
Simon: Have they been in fights? I missed that one. I like wild girls.
Ant: I don't pay much attention to gossip, I just switch off. They only celebs I'm mates with apaer from you lot are Charlie Brooks and Bryan McFadden, and when we talk on the phone we always end up chatting about Only Fools And Hoses

You looking at me...?
Lee: Did I tell you about that bloke who rang me the other day? He said he wanted to kill me and my gran. I was fuminhg, so I said, "Come on then. Let's meet. I'll rip your head off." But he wouldn't meet me. What a sick ****.
Ant: Did I tell you about the mad girl in Barbados? She went up to Luce in the toilets and asked her if she come and talk to me. So Lucy comes back and we're all sitting there chatting and suddenly this girl barges in, sits in front of Luce and starts chatting to me. I was like, "Eh? Who are you?" I'd never go up to a girl who was with her boyfriend and try chatting her up. That's just disrespectful.
Duncan: Why can't that happen to me? I haven't been chatted up for ages. I want some girls to come on to me and take me home with them. Preferably identical twins... Oh my God! Apparently there's a guy living near my old house. One of my mates rang me and said he saw me and I ignored him. But we were in Italy at thge time. Pretty weird, eh?
Ant: While I was in Barbados, someone thought I was Shane Westlife. I was drunk at this karaoke bar, and the owner came over and said he had one of our songs. He asked me to sing it and put on Flying Without Wings. So I sang it with an Irish accent. I wish you lot could have been there, it was wicked.
Lee: I pretended to be someone else when I was on holiday as well. You have to be 21 to drink in the US and I borrowed my mates driving license so I could go out. I got busted, but the bloke said, "Slip me $40 and I'll leave you alone." So I did, ha ha!

Is there anybody out there?
Lee: Did I tell you about the dream I had the other night? It was nasty - someone put a machine gun on the top of my head and pulled the trigger.
Ant: You're mad. Most people dream of getting married or having a dog.
Simon: My dreams don't make much sense either.
Ant: I dreamed that Paul S Club broke his leg and Bradley asked me to fill in for him. It was weird because I had to do the Don't Stop Movin' routine and I didn't know what to do.
Lee: Ha ha, you never told us that. Once I dreamed it was the end of the world. There was a woman standing on this box and she had electricity going through her. And then all these kids came running towards her with boxes.
Ant: Mate, people who don't know you must think you're weird, with your strange dreams and alien obsessions and stuff.
Simon: Remember on the Smash Hits Tour at Butlins in Minehead when we saw those two lights. They could have been UFOs
Ant: Oh, don't get Lee started...
Lee: We did, though. I believe aliens really do exist and the human race is a big experiment. I reckon someday we could get invaded and eaten by aliens.
Duncan: I really wanted to be abducted by aliens. I used to g UFO hunting with my mate. We'd drive up to this open area in Dorset and sit and watch the sky.
Ant: I've seen documentaries about aliens and I can't decide if I believe in it or not. Until I see one for myself...
Simon: I don't think you'd be able to spot an alien. I reckon they'd look just like you and me.
Lee: There are lots of different aliens. It's true - I've seen pictures of them. Think about it: have you ever looked at someone in the street and thought, "You don't look right." You know what I mean. Who do you think could be an alien?
Ant: Marilyn Manson?
Lee: Nah - he's just a geek who went wrong.
Duncan: Jarvis Cocker is a bit weird looking, isn't he?
Ant: Maybe Eminem. Not in a nasty way, but someone who can write lyrics the way he does has to be so advanced. It would throw me if I saw an alien. I'd be freaked out.
Lee: If it was girl alien I would go on a date with her, just to see what happens. We might even make a baby. Imagine that, a new species.
Ant: Mate, you aren't all there. You ain't right in the head.
Lee: I know. Good, innit?

Where's your head at?
What incredible devices would the Blue boys invent to make their lives easier?
Ant: I'd invent a machine that brings fans from around the world over here so we can do our work from home. I'd be able to push a button and everyone would magically fly over.
Simon: I'd invent something that could open my letters and pay the bills. I never get around to doing that kind of thing. It would look like a hologram of Cameron Diaz.
Duncan: I'd have a Frankenstein-style clone of myself so I could send him off to photoshoots while I was at home seeing mates and sorting out my letters.
Lee: I'd invent a machine that made trees. It would be one of those black fax machines, and you'd be abnle to make loads of different types of trees with it.
