"I think it would be rude not to start as we mean to go on, don't you?" No sooner has Darius entered the hotel suite where the heat photoshoot is taking place, he's cracking open a bottle of pink champagne.
Now this is a side to 22 year old Darius we haven't seen before. He's already come along way from his popstar days with his unintentionally hilarious rendition of .......Baby One More Time and predictions that he'd have a triple platinum album by the time he was 35. He surprised us once by becoming one of the biggest popstars around and now he's doing it again with his new bad-boy image. In fact, with a camouflage hooded-top on his head and a champagne bottle in his hand, Darius actually looks a bit, dare-we saya bit Bling, Bling.
And today, he's decided that the best cure for a hangover is to drink through it. But as he hands heat a glass of bubbly, we notice that he hsn't poured one for himself. "Don't worry," he grins. "I'm to drink from the bottle." And as he sits down on the bed, he offers us a pillow "to lean on", we think this could get interesting...................
I really don't know.But the guys in my band keep saying: "Darius, you lucky b*****d!" Having a threesome with two girls is everyman's dream - but having a threesome with two girls - one being the daughter and one being her mum - is the ultimate male fantasy!
Do you ever get propositioned by older woman?
Yeah. It's great. But then most woman are older to me - I'm only 22.
What kind of things do they saw to you?
Sometimes they'll hand me a note on stage while im singing. I've had lots of knickers with phone numbers written in lipstick on the gusset.
Have you taken any of them up on it?
No. When it comes to easy its not that exciting. [leans in suggestively] I prefer to be the hunter.
Do pepole pinch your bum?
Yeah. Alot of the time that happens when i'm on stage.
How can they reach your bum up there?
Beacause im all for crowd interaction. In fact i was charged two grand in Dublin for breaking health and safety regulations. I jumped off stage to get a girl i saw in the audience.
So you were on stage, saw a girl you fancied, so thought you'd go get a closer look?
Um....Yeah [laughs] I was singing rushes and during the lyric "When i look at you that way you feel naked" I looked at her and she went nuts! The look on her face really got to me. So i waited until the musicial interlude, jumped off stage and ploughed through the crowd.
What were all the other gils in the audience doing at this point?
Well, put it this way i lost my shirt.
So you got to her, then what?
I pulled her up on stage and then ...........i snogged her.
What properly snogged?
Yeah.
And then you chucked her off stage again?
No! Shes a girl im going to date when i get back.
Really? What's her name?
I'm not telling you.
Oh, go on?
I'll tell you after our first date if it goes well.
Where does she come from?
She's from london.
