They might act like they're as cool as cucumbers, but top pop group Ultra have had so many red-faced moments, even Jeremy Beadle would be proud of 'em.
When was the last time you felt a complete wally?
Have you ever fallen over in public?
Ever been to a fancy-dress party?
Has a girl ever made you look really stupid?
Do you ever play tricks on each other?
Did your parents really embarrass you?
Have you ever taken revenge on anyone?
Have you ever done anything soppy with a girl that you're embarrassed about now?
What make you blush just thinking about it?
Michael: Everyday, innit Jon (laughs) ?!
Nick: When we filmed our video last week � it was with about 15 models and the story was that they were ignoring us until the end. Then we had to talk to them, but I didn't have a clue what to say. Then I had to dance with them and that was even worse!
James: I've never felt more of an idiot than when we were working with some producer and I really slagged off this song by Gemini, going, "God knows who wrote that, it's the worst song I've ever heard!" and he looked at me and said, "I wrote it."!
Jon: The last time was when we all went bowling together. It was my first ball and I hadn't been bowling for years. I went a bit far down the alley and I went flying! I blame those blimin' shoes!
Nick: I can't remember, but I've walked into a lot of lamp posts�usually ogling a nice-looking girl!
James: I went to one as a tennis player. How boring is that?!
Michael: I went to one about a year ago as Just William(naughty schoolboy), wearing my old school uniform with the trousers cut down to shorts, and a catapult in my pocket! It was a bit embarassing actually�it was all a bit tight and every time I turned round I kept poking girls in the bum with the catapult!!
Jon: I went to one as the joker with a white face and green hair�a bit like Robbie Williams in that video. I went to another one as Freddie Kruger.
Michael: He didn't need to put any make-up on!
Jon: Thanks!!
Nick: One time after we did this school gig, this girl said to me, "The other three are good-looking, but you're pretty ugly, so I don't want your autograph."! I was so upset�I really took it to heart.
Michael: Every time I go out on a date, I think !! The worst time was when I went to a party with this girl who I'd liked for ages. She's like, "I'll be back in a minute, I'm just going to the loo." She was gone for two hours so I went looking for her and found her down the bottom of the garden snogging my mate!
James: When I got my first teddy bear thrown at me I was really chuffed and I went off stage holding it, all pleased. But then this girl came over and said, "That wasn't meant for you, it was for Orange Orange�can I have it back?" I felt a right idiot.
Jon: Yeah, all this lot did yesterday. We were on a plane and I was in my own little world listening to my Walkman, when the stewardess tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Did you send a message to that girl in Row 14?". I was like, "What are you talking about?" These guys were killing themselves laughing 'cos they'd written her a note saying, "You're beautiful"!
Michael: The funniest thing was he pulled from it! She sent a note back saying, "Here's my number�.".
Jon: So cheers, Michael�she was gorgeous!
Nick: When I was younger me and my mates used to do loads of joke phone calls. Once we rang a Mr. Wheel and a Mr. Barrow and told them the other had agreed to take part in a wheelbarrow race for charity and asked if they'd do it. It was sweet 'cos Mr. Wheel said, "If Mr. Barrow's agreed, I'll do it"!
Jon: When girls used to ring me, my dad used to take the mickey by shouting, "Jon, it's your girlfriend on the phone!" I'm really secretive now!
Nick: Mine used to shout dead loud on sports day, and once my dad kissed me in front of my friends! Everything's embarrassing when you're 13, isn't it?
James: Yeah. I had to do my Cycling Proficiency test at school, but I forgot to bring my bike in so my dad had to bring it in for me. He wheeled it right across the playground, and everyone was going, "Look, there's Jim's dad!". He'd brought my shin pads and gloves as well, but the worst thing was, he had my helmet on his head!
Jon: I've still got to take my revenge on Michael for letting these girls into my hotel room! I swear this is true�I went to sleep and in the morning there were two fans lying on the floor in my room! He reckons he didn't let them in, but he did.
Michael: I didn't!
Nick: I never take my revenge on anyone because I'm a real coward and I expect the other person to come and beat me up or something!
James: I've never done anything soppy. I wouldn't even hold hands with a girl in the streets.
Nick: I don't like that sort of thing either. Actually, I've just remembered�I bought a girl a locket for her birthday once and I felt a real plum for doing that! It's such a clich�, isn't it?
Michael: I'd been going out with this girl for a while and we had an argument. I was gutted, so I went and bought her a ring to make it up to her. When I gave it to her she started crying, then I realised she thought it was an engagement ring! I had to explain I didn't want to marry her at all and that made it even worse!
Nick: I haven't blushed for years. I think everyone's taken the mickey out of me for so long that I've learnt how to handle it. You're blushing, James!
James: I can't say what about, I really can't�
Nick: Oh, go on.
James: (squirming) I can't, I can't, I can't���
