Kerpow! Edele B*Witched calls on her bag of magic tricks to deal with the Smash Hits biscuit tin! No! Not the biscuit tin!
Are you a lover or a fighter? I was once in a fight in school. Some girl called me a ‘fathead’ and started on me in the toilets. She hit me, so I hit her back. I’ve never started a fight, but I’ll fight back – no matter how big they are. Which flavour ice-cream would you invent? Lobster flavour! I’m a lobster maniac! Why do people cry when they’re upset? These are weird questions! When you get upset, you feel it building up inside, and it’s a relief when the tears come. Sometimes you need a good cry. Tough Cookie When do you plan to get married? I’d like to get married at around 24, but I think I'd have to know at least 3 years before I did. My dad always says that in the first year you can be fooled, and in the second year you can fool yourself, but in the third you’ll know the truth. I’d really like to have children, 'cos me mum had six kids and we just grew in up in such a brilliant environment. Did you have an invisible friend when you were younger? No, but my two older sisters and my brother did. They used to draw watches on their wrists, and when they pressed them, the invisible friend would make them things. They used to always press it for lobster, and they'd pretend to eat it and me and Keavy would be like, ‘Oh! that’s not fair!’ Then, one day, they gave us the invisible friend and we drew watches on our wrists. It was the happiest day of my life. Have you ever seen a ghost? No, but I believe in them. There was a friend of mine who was really down, and this little girl kept appearing at the foot of her bed. The girl was in tears and she kept fidgeting like she wasn’t at ease. Then, when my friend became happy again, the girl appeared to her for the last time, smiling and playing at the foot of the bed. Can you lend us a fiver? I can only lend you and Irish fiver. That’s all I have on me at the moment. Do you always tidy up when visitors are coming round? Yes, always. Sometimes, when we’re away, we don’t get the chance and the place gets in such a state that our landlord’s mother comes round and helps. What did you do last Saturday night? I sat in, watched telly and ate a Chinese take away. I was back in Ireland, and my dad came home from the garage and we just sat and did nothing! I had Chinese ribs, which was the first meat I’ve eaten in ages. That's a good step. 'cos I'd like to start eating meat again. Who was the last pop star you met on your travels? Celine Dion and the Bee Gees. That was brilliant. They’re true superstars, but they don’t think anything of themselves, they’re so down-to-earth. We got a picture taken with ‘em as well, which was nice. When was the last time you had to stay in hospital? The last time I was in for myself was for the scar on my forehead. It was my second or third birthday, and I fell and hit me head on our fireplace. I had 18 stitches! Who’s had the biggest influence in your life? My mammy and daddy. They were always a huge influence in my life, 'cos they always told me to follow my dreams. If you could enjoy one experience without any fear of repercussions, what would it be? Something naughty? Well, y’know when you don’t really get on with someone and you leave the room? Well, I’d like to be able to go back in and hear what they’re saying about me. What’s the biggest hair disaster you have ever suffered? I had me hair cut quite short - as in 'boy' short - a couple of years ago and I really liked it. But then I was standing at the bus stop and this bunch of nasty people started calling me a boy and asking, “Are you a boy or a girl?” It was horrible. That was a real disaster for me - and I’ve let my hair grow ever since! Jammy Dodger Where’s the strangest place you’ve had a snog? I’ve never had a snog in a strange place, but we used to hang around a caravan site in the summertime, and my friends used to go behind the rubbish skips so no one would see them kissing! What’s your favourite drink? Milk, milk, milk, milk, miiiiilk! I drink maybe three pints a day! Cows moo, sheep baaa, pigs oink…what do goldfish do? They go, “Bobp! Bobp!” (She does a very impressive fish impersonation!) I love goldfish actually – I think they’re really cool. Half the time, they’re probably going, “Oh look at that!” then swimming round the bowl and going, "Oh, look at that!" about the same thing. (Goldfish only have 15-second memories, you see!) So that’s what I think goldfish do – they say, “Oh, look at that!” Can you name all the Backstreet boys? There’s Howie, Nick, B-Rok (don’t forget the tm, Edele!), Kevin and Nick. Oh no, I’ve already said Nick…Oh, what’s yer man’s name again? (A…A…A….) Erm…Oh, that’s awful – I know it! (AJ) Yes! AJ! Oh God…sorry, AJ! Do you do your own shopping? Yes, we go together and do a big week’s shopping. Last time we went to Tesco, meself and we got recognised by all these people. The security guard had to throw a load of them out, 'cos they were getting a bit rowdy. In the end, we slipped out the back and left them all waiting outside! TOUGH COOKIE Who are the most over-rated group around? Ooh, that's a horrible question! Erm... maybe the Teletubbies. It's great that it did so well for charity (erm, it wasn't actually a charity record Edele!), but the song's absolutely dreadful. I think they're quite cute and everything, but the song was dreadful. |
