A Quickie With Calvin

TOTP May 2003

HI CALVIN, GIVE US A QUICKIE UPDATE ON WHAT YOU'VE BEEN UP TO.
Mostly, I've been practising hard for the tour cos that's a really big deal for me. People are always asking us if we're nervous and I always play it cool but I'm really nervous, well wouldn't you be?

HAS ANYONE EVER SHOUTED PUPPY LOVE AT YOU IN THE STREET?
Not recently but I'm always ready! I've had people shout it at me though and it always makes me laugh! I'm not sure what they think I'm gonna say back, there's not really any good comeback to that, is there? If anyone thinks of one, let me know!

AS AN S CLUB INSIDER WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT S CLUB SPLITTING? WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU GUYS?
It's a shame cos they're a really cool band who always did really good music so I didn't want them to split. They taught us so much. I'll give TOTP my word on this though, we're definitely not packing in. In fact we've decided to change our name to S Club 8!

ARE YOU KEEPING UP WITH THE SCHOOLWORK?
Well, I'm still doing it if that's what you mean. I don't enjoy schoolwork at all if I'm honest, some of the others do but it's not really for me. What can I do though? It's gotta get done, hasn't it?

WHAT TUNES HAVE BEEN ROCKING THE JUNIORS' CD PLAYER RECENTLY?
It might sound really boring but it's Escapeology by Robbie Williams - I love it and Robbie's cool, isn't he? He always makes good music.

BEEN CATCHING ANY GOOD TV?
I can't get enough of Friends, it's so funny. I tried watching a couple of those Reborn In The USA shows but I couldn't get into it. Some of them had good voices but I don't see the point. They've done it all before really, haven't they?!

HOW ARE YOU COPING WITH YOUR PIN-UP STATUS?
I'm just enjoying myself. I don't really see myself as being any different to who I was before all this. That's when you get yourself into trouble - when you start thinking you're brilliant!
