-Nicky can still remember a dream he had when he was just a kid. "I remember sleeping between my Mum and Dad and dreaming there was this monster, about six foot seven, made out of Play-Doh. It had no eyes, it was turquoise and it was absolutely huge. It came through the door and walked towards the bed. It never got me in the end but I was terrified. I was only about four. I didn't play with Play-Doh for quite a while after that!"

-Have you seen that bit where Nicky flicks Shane's ear in the Swear It Again video? If so here's why it happened: "The director called me to one side and said 'Nicky, when we start I want you to flick Shane's ear so I can catch his reaction'. We only had one go at it. You can probably see us all laughing as I go to do it. It was quite funny 'cause he could have turned round and said anything!"

-One of Nicky's most embarrassing moments was when he saw a photo of himself taken by a fan. "It's the most disgusting pic ever!", he says, "When this girl showed it to me I could not believe it was truly me! It was really close up and it looked like I had seven chins! It was so bad I took it from her. What worries me is she still has the negative!"
