HANNAH SPEARRITT - LET'S TALK ABOUT US
FROM APRIL 2002 ARENA MAGAZINE
So S Club 7's Hannah is your lady... she thinks her breasts are too small and has smelly feet, but at least she's low maintenance.
Arena: What are our Sundays like?
Hannah: Lying in until about one o'clock. Then a big fry-up or go straight to the pub for a roast, then the cinema in the evening.
Arena: What if the football is on in the pub, am I allowed to watch it?
Hannah: Of course, I wouldn't call myself a big fan, I don't follow every game, but if it's on I'll scream now and again in the right places to show that I'm interested.
Arena: So how soon after we meet was it that we ended up in bed?
Hannah: It's hard to say, I don't go, "Right, three months is up, let's jump in the sack", it should be whenever it feels right. But I'm not a first nighter.
Arena: Do I have to get on with your friends?
Hannah: It would make life easier. Everyone gets on with my friends, I haven't met anyone who dislikes my flatmates.
Arena: What happens if I come home drunk with my mates?
Hannah: A massive group of you? That often happens at my place, so that's absolutely fine. The more the merrier.
Arena: Would you make me sleep on the bathroom floor?
Hannah: Are your mates sleeping over? I wouldn't be that happy, I'd prefer it if they were sent home. You turning up drunk would be OK. If it happened loads I would be like, "What's going on here then?"
Arena: What's the worst thing you've got that I need to put in the spare room?
Hannah: My trainers - they're a bit whiffy, so they're best kept as far out of the way as possible.
Arena: What would you like me to wear?
Hannah: I do have a tendency to go for the casual types. If you're in jeans and a sweatshirt you'll do just fine.
Arena: And if we went on holiday and I wanted to wear a thong?
Hannah: What? In public? I guess it depends if you could pull it off, most men couldn't. I would probably abandon you on the beach.
Arena: Would you go topless?
Hannah: I never have, mainly because I'd be worried about photograhers hiding in the bushes and then me being in the papers, and secondly, my boobs aren't big enough.
Arena: What's on your side of the bed?
Hannah: Coins, a book and a salt lamp. My alarm clock is so loud I'd turn it off. I would expect us to fall asleep with the television on and hope that the voices on GMTV will wake us.
Arena: What do you wear that makes you feel saucy?
Hannah: If I told you then I wouldn't feel as saucy, because you wouldn't be surprised.
Arena: What should I say to push your buttons?
Hannah: Please-can-I-push-your-buttons.
Arena: I've bought you something from Agent Provocateur. Excited?
Hannah: Definitely. I've never been bought anything from there before. That'd be lovely - you can't beat new underwear.
Arena: What do I have to do to get kicked out?
Hannah: It wouldn't be something trivial, but if we clearly weren't getting on I'd ask you to go.
Arena: What if I slept with one of your friends?
Hannah: You'd be gone. Straight out of the door, no coming back. No second chances.
Arena: And when we do have rows, what shall I expect? Shouting? A slap? The arms cut off my suit?
Hannah: It would be a big shouting match. We wouldn't have them often as I'm pretty laid back. I wouldn't go for you in an argument, but I would go for you when we were messing around. I've often gone too far like that and hurt previous boyfriends.
Arena: You know those racy magazines of mine, are they an issue?
Hannah: Absolutely - you have your own girlfriend now so those magazines have to go.
Arena: And if I dared to bring up the impressive achievements of previous bedfellows?
Hannah: I think it's wicked to be open. I've discussed previous boyfriends and it's been fine. I wouldn't ever make comparisons though.
Arena: Are you one for candles, wine and soft music?
Hannah: On the rare special occasions. I don't like it done too much as it can get a bit suffocating. I'm not really the slushy type - I'd rather get a take away and sit in front of the TV - that's far more romantic to me.
Arena: Are you going to get jealous of my exes?
Hannah: It depends whether they were six foot tall, blonde with big boobs.
Arena: Would you mind if I flirt with your friends?
Hannah: Not if I was comfortable in our relationship. If we were just getting going it would make me feel a bit weird, but after we've been together for a while, and I feel secure you can squish my mate's boobs and everything, I don't mind.
Arena: It's Valentine's Day - where would you expect me to take you?
Hannah: I'd want to stay at home with a pizza and curl up on the sofa. I'm not very high maintenance at all. Although I have got my heart set on Venice at some point. Me and you in a gondola made for two.
Arena: How would you surprise me?
Hannah: Turn up at your door with fish and chips. They'd be exactly as I know you like them.
Arena: Do we hold hands in the street?
Hannah: Definitely. I like affection between us and don't mind showing it to the world.
