Ireland's very own Fantastic Four discuss super-spy skills, getting messy with mud and My Little Pony.

TOTP: If you were undercover spies, who would you most like to follow for the day?
Shane: President of the USA. Wanna find out about corruption and all the secrets he has.
Nicky: I dunno, I'll have to think about it...

TOTP: What would your super-spy skill be?
Shane: X-ray vision.

TOTP: Who would you like to see?
Shane: Lots of people.
Kian: Flying.
Nicky: Reading minds.

TOTP: What were your quilt covers
Shane: Beano, it was all I had actually.
Kian: Garfeld - big Garfield fan when i was a kid. I used to think he was amazing. I had a Garfield teddy too.
Nicky: I thought you said you liked My Little Pony at one stage?
Kian: Oh no that was Bryan...(laughs)
Mark: I had Batman and Robin. I used to watch the series.

TOTP: Have you seen the new film?
Mark: Yeah we saw it last week actually, thought it was very good.
Shane: I saw it in the cinema, very good.
Nicky: I had Star Wars!
TOTP: Were you a Big Darth Vader fan?
Nicky: No, I liked Luke Skywalker - he was better.

TOTP: Have you ever had to tell a lie for somebody?
Nicky: Yes, we've had to tell a few lies, haven't we lads?
Kian: Everyday we lie.
Shane: But we blow our cover.
Nicky: The secret to a good liar is to never reveal what the actual information is. We could tell you but then we'd have to kill you.
Kian: We are also undercover spies, under the Star Wars cover.

TOTP: What would you most like to be covered in; chocolate, custard or strawberry jam, or anything else?
All: Chocolate.
Mark: I don't really like the idea of being covered in anything in all honesty.
Shane: I wouldn't mind mud.

TOTP: Mud masks!! Good if you're pregnant.
Shane: I'd prefer that than chocolate. I think covering your body in food is a weird thing to do.
Nicky: Covering your genitals in food isn't that weird.
All: Silence...

TOTP: Have you got something You want us to know?
Nicky: Oh no... was just saying. Did I say that out loud?

TOTP: Have you ever gone undercover amongst your fans to see what they are saying?
Kian: Yeah, once or twice on the tour.
Nicky: Yeah, I dressed up as security, with a hard-hat, glasses and a big lumious security jacket thing and a sweeping brush about an hour before we went on stage. A couple of people kinda looked but no-one really said anything.

TOTP: Did you ever hear people saying anything about the band?
Nicky: Nah...it was pretty quick before people recognised and I got annihilated. I was in and out pretty quick.

TOTP: What's the best album cover ever?
Mark: Take That's greatest hits - the four dolls, or was it five dolls?
Kian: There was an array of things on that.
Mark: Yeah, but the dolls were the centrepiece.

Nicky: All their albums covers and merchandise were pretty cool.
Shane: The Oasis one with the car in the swimming pool was pretty cool.

TOTP: If we had to cover your job for the day, what would be the best thing and what would be the worst?
Shane: Best thing probably going shopping.
Nicky: Going on stage, that's more of a perk than shopping.
Kian: Yeah going on stage in Wembley or something. That's pretty cool.
Shane: Worst is getting up early at like, half four for a 6 o'clock flight from Heathrow or something. That's not enjoyable at all. Actually I'd follow Mark for the day... because the question in Westlife is always, "Where's Mark?", so I'd like to know where he goes.
