NAUGHTY BUT NICE. . .

LIKE THE CREAM CAKE HE'S JUST STUFFED IN HIS GOB, STEPHEN'S A REAL SWEETIE- BUT WITH A WICKED STREAK AS WELL! WHICH IS THE real STEVE-O?

NAUGHTY. . .

What's the most expensive thing you've ever pinched?

A Gucci suit, they sort of gave it to me. It was a beautiful suit too.

What was the worst trouble you got in at school?

(Grinning) I changed some stuff in the role book once when the teacher was away. I added that I was at school when I wasn't!

What's the biggest lie you've told?

When I started Boyzone I told everyone I had loads of money, but I didn't! I have now, so that's all right!

What's the most expensive thing you've broken?

I've never broken anything expensive, but when I was a kid I broke a gift that I'd been given for my birthday. It was this special cup with all these bouncy snakes in it. I smashed it and that was it, it never worked again. I was only six.

Have you ever cheated at an exam/sport/audition?

Sure, you built your way through things. We kinda cheated in exams, but not really- we just helped each other. I don't think it's good to cheat.

Have you ever pulled the wings off flies?

No, but I have pulled the legs off a daddy long legs. I hate spiders. Daddy long legs are the most poisonous creatures in the world too.

BUT NICE. . .

What's the most expensive gift you've bought?

(Thinks) I bought a watch for Eloy. I won't tell you how much it was but it was a Rolex. And Eloy and I just bought my sister a pram 'cos she's having another baby. I prefer buying things for others.

Have you ever helped an old lady across the road?

I used to go shopping for my mum, so I'd see a lot of old ladies doing their shopping and I helped them upstairs with their trolleys. I'd like someone to help me if I was in that position, so what comes around goes around.

Are you kind to animals? What was the last thing you did?

Yeah, I spoil my dogs all the time. I always give them sweets and cuddly toys.

Do you give money to people collecting for charity?

I do help with a lot of charities, and I always give away signed CDs and posters. If I see someone on the street asking for money I prefer to buy them something to eat than give them money.

Give us a tenner. . .

What's that? A tenner? Sure, you can have a tenner if you want.

Woo-hoo!
