POSING NAKED, BEING IN LOVE AND HAVING HIS BODY WAXED! SHANE GETS IT OFF HIS CHEST...
Have you ever had any body parts waxed?
I had my chest waxed just the once about eight months ago. It was before we started the band, but never, ever again! It was the most painful thing I've ever had done. I had it done 'cause I didn't really like my hairy chest and I was curious what it would look like. But now I love my hairy chest.
Do you get more spots now you have to wear make-up a lot of the time?
We all look after our skin as much as we can. Obviously we all get spots 'cause we're only human. But I've been quite lucky on that front really - what I eat doesn't affect my skin. I don't do all that cleanse, tone and moisturise - well I only moisturise if my skin's dry.
How many times have you been in love?
Never properly. It was probably more puppy love that real love. When I was 14 I went out with a girl for a year. I told her I loved her and I was crazy about her. I thought I loved her at the time though.
Would you ever pose naked?
I would take my top off. I wouldn't do it regularly, but maybe just once - not tomorrow or the next day but some day. I'd have to tone up first though! The whole hog? Definitely not! I think that's just lowering yourself, don't you think?
When was your first proper snog?
My first snog was when I was about 10 or eleven. It was a French kiss and it wasn't very memorable. It was like a washing machine. My first memorable one was with a girl from my home town and she was a really good kisser - she was two years older than me aswell!
Would you tell everyone if you were seeing someone or keep it a secret?
I'm not seeing anyone at the moment although I do date. I wouldn't say anything until I was sure I was gonna be staying with the girl for a while. There's no point until you know it's more long-term.
How attractive are you?
Ha ha! I don't know! I'm all right I suppose. I guess a safe bet would be about five out of 10. Some days I think I look OK, on others I think I look awful! Sometimes I have a bad week and I wonder why fans fancy me. But you don't have to be a model or stunning for people to like you. Today I looked in the mirror and I looked tired, but after a shower I looked a bit better!
Which bodily bit would you change?
Erm... that's difficult. I love my hands - they're the best part of my body! I don't like my big bellybutton much - it's and 'inny'! You could fit a 5p in it, infact the coin would disappear!
Apart from Shane, what other names do you like?
I like Stephen and Jack. My grandfather was called Jack and that's a nice solid name. Stephen's my middle name so I do like that, too.
