Guess who we've caught have a sneaky night out.. without us? Lads, beware - TOTP are elbowing in on the act and revealing all your revelling secrets (note to all shoes: be very afraid)!

Now you're famous, can you really let your hair down on a night out?
Matt: I think so, yeah, cos you can still go to places where people literally don't care who you are. I went out in Kingston the other night and had a really good night, but I kind of knew there were bouncers all round following me and watching. It makes me feel a bit of a (bleep).
James: You just have to realise you don't know who knows you anymore. Once, I went into McDonald's as an experiment with three friends and just sat there and waited. You can see that all the people working there are kind of peeping at you from behind the machines. You develop eyes in the back of your head - you can feel and see all the pens getting ready.
Charlie: It's the gigs that pee me off. I'm a bit of a gig freak. I used to be able to go along and watch, but now..
James: Everyone just looks at you and wonders why you're there.
Matt: Duh, cos we like the band?

What d'you actually do in VIP areas?
James: The same thing that you do in a normal area - the only thing is, it's a bit more rubbish!
Charlie: (Bleep) all!
Matt: I'll say one thing though, the VIP room's really good for getting to the bar quickly! That's the only thing I'd go into a VIP room for. I hate two things about clubs - bad music and expensive drinks. I bought two drinks for £19 the other day - what's that all about?
James: Yeah, and my favourite hat got taken at a club. I phoned every single Mambo shop to get another, and all of them had gone. It was a cool hat and now someone else is wearing it! I miss my hat!

Where's the oddest place the paparazzi have followed you?
Matt: Paparazzi literally walk down the street in front of you, snapping away. They try to provoke you, too - they want you to hit them. How bad is that, trying to get us to smack 'em? I'd love to!
James: I could be such a good undercover paparazzi photographer. I'd have a small spy camera. No one would expect me to be a photographer, so I'd invent a different paparazzi photographer name, sell my pictures and make a killing!

What's the best night out you've had recently?
Matt: Definitely the Lord Of The Rings premiere.
James: Look, this is a photo of me and Gandalf! (Pulls out his photo phone and there he is with Sir Ian McKellen.)
Matt: No way! You had your photo taken with Gandalf?
James: Didn't I tell you?
Matt: (Narked) Er.. no! NO! I had a really good night, man.
James: And here's another one of me talking to Gandalf, and that's Gandalf wearing my hat..
Matt: Where was this, James? At the after-show party? Tsk, I was at the bar! I'm very jealous.
James: Some glamour model gave me her number, too. I think I might have it somewhere.. (whisks zillions of cards and bits of paper out of his wallet) Erm, what's her name?
Matt: Glamour models crack me up!
James: (Waving a piece of paper) This one! Vanessa Upton? Who's that?

Er, we don't know! So girls' numbers are one sign of a good night out. What else?
Charlie: Sticky shoes is always a good sign for me.
James: You know when Charlie's tipsy cos he'll be drinking out of a shoe! Shooting the boot they call it. I hope it's his own shoe cos I'd never drink out of anyone else's! I think it's a public school thing.
Charlie: It's like bang, bang, bang on the table, 'Shoot the boot!'
Matt: I have to say, I've seen Charlie drink out of his shoe and I've never seen anything so disgusting in my whole life.

Eurgh! Drinking from a shoe, Charlie? Explain!
Charlie: Yeah. Me and my mates all do it, filled to the brim. Bits of fluff? Take it all down! Odor-Eaters? Take it all down like a man, ha-ha! Shut up an swallow! My shoes are fine - they take many a boot shooting. I used my skanky Pumas. Well, they were the only shoes I had on. You don't complain!

Pass the sick bucket. Not sure if we should ask what else you get up to!
Matt: I'm an absolute idiot when I'm out. Me and my mates get really lairy and start doing pranks, like Jackass stuff - er, but kids, remember not to try any of that stuff at home! It's more like, 'Where's your threshold?' Me and my mate Ed were really wrecked and we were having a slap fight round the face. It ended up as serious blows. Ed gave me a blow that nearly knocked me out!

Nice friends!
Matt: Then, I've got this burn. Someone burnt my hand accidentally - Lee from Blue. He's got one as well actually, so we have little matching scars.
James: I don't have matching scars with celebrity friends! They wanted me to do it but I refused.

But why, why, why?
Matt: Er, cos we thought it was hard! I think some of Blue's dancers were there. Tsk, we don't have dancers, that's such a bad thing! Busted need dancers - Blue have fit dancers. This burn is taking ages to heal, though. It's a permanent scar I'll have for the rest of my life!

Bit scared now! Apart from injuring yourself, have you ever injured anyone else?
James: I don't injure people, I'm a nice guy! I don't wanna hurt people. I move into my own space on the dancefloor, and then people form a circle around me, ha-ha!
Charlie: I guess I'm quite clumsy on the dancefloor. I'm not a great dancer at all. You jive with it, but I'm a totally unnatural dancer. You just have to shake to the rhythm, ha-ha!

How often do you have your bum pinched on the dancefloor?
James: All the time! Everyone pinches my bum, it's not fair! It's just something I've always been used to.

Oh la la! How about snogging in the toilets - yes or no?
James: You don't kiss in the toilets!
Charlie: Toilets are just not for kissing! They're dirty dirty, not just dirty as in dirty - which is quite horrible!
James: Eugh! I can't kiss a girl while someone's having a wee!
Charlie: Or a poo! That's not my idea of, er, romance!
James: I go in the girls' toilets anyway. I just walk straight in. Or when I'm with girls and they're taking a long time, I just go in and get them.

Talking of toilets, what do you do when you've been to the loo and, ahem, accidentally dribbled?
James: Dribbled on what?
Charlie: When you pee on your trousers.
James: The only time I ever wet myself is when I'm in the sea!
Charlie: Sometimes you put it back in your trousers and there's still bits coming out. It happens. If you dribble on your trousers, you kind of pull your other clothes over it.
James: Oh, I get it. I hate that, but I've got a good aim.

We bet you've taken pics of naked bits of your bod on a night out!
Charlie: Why would you do that?
James: Yeah, and they're all on eBay, ha-ha! Joking.
Matt: Not me. But I've got one picture of my mates all naked by a pool. I didn't take the picture, though. They went on this summer holiday but I couldn't go cos I was working. I didn't miss out though cos it was an 18-30s holiday - I'd rather skin myself alive!

If we joined you partying, what would you do to shock us?
James: I've stopped swearing, so I wouldn't shock you by doing that a lot. [Starts picking nose] Don't put that I'd shock you by picking my nose - everyone knows I do that. But everyone says I pick it till it bleeds and I don't!

Have you ever lost anything weird on a night out?
James: I lost a shoe at a Muse gig! Everyone rushed forward when the band came on and I never do my shoes up very tightly. I'm the kind of person whose shoes fall off on rollercoasters. Anyway, so I lost my shoe! I was crawling along the floor frantically looking for it and everyone was falling over me. Suddenly, the strobe lit up my shoe and I plunged for it! It was trodden on a few times, but that doesn't bother a shoe, does it?

Let us into a secret and tell us the best place to be sick in a club.
James: I'm not really a puker. The two times I've been sick have been in the car on the way home. It feels like a rollercoaster, man!
Charlie: In a pint glass is foul - maybe in your shoe, though! At least you could walk on it and it'd be hidden. A bit sludgy though!
Matt: On somebody else, maybe? On their back, so you don't have to look down onto the floor.

Have you ever done something stupid, like tried to cadge a lift home with a complete stranger?
Charlie: That's really dodgy. You should never go in a car or anything with people you don't know.
James: I catch lifts with strangers all the time - cab drivers! Once I was at this kebab place and there was a woman beckoning me behind the kebab van. I was like, 'You know what? I'd rather go home!' I'm not sleazy. I'd never go behind a van with some strange girl.
Matt: A milk float's a good idea, actually! Do you know, my stepdad was a milkman and he made me help him with his round once. I had to get up at 3.30am - three thirty in the morning! And then I got paid £4! When I was little, I always used to try to hang on the back of the milk float while I was on my roller skates. The milkman let me do it, but I wet myself ever though I was probably only going about 12 miles an hour. It was quite scary!

C'mon then, it's confession time. How often do you go home when normal peeps are getting up for work?
Matt: Er, I don't really think I should answer that! I've been going out loads over the last three weeks cos we've had some time off and I haven't had to get up. I never want to stop and go home, and I never want to go to bed, either. But after the Lord Of The Rings premiere, I didn't get in till about 2pm the next afternoon, ha-ha! I was round at my mate's flat with the drummer Damon, and me and him just partied hard. I fell asleep about midday, then woke up an hour later at 1pm!

Have you ever turned up at a photo shoot with a hangover and been really grumpy?
Matt: Are you joking me? How many times a week do I do it, don't you mean?! There've been so many where I just look at myself and think 'What a state!' Unfortunately, you can't do anything about tired eyes. One cover shoot we did, I literally look like I'm dead! I was still really tipsy and started to get hungover while I was having my make-up done.
Charlie: Mmm, one night in Scotland I was wasted in the hotel. I got to bed about 3am so I looked rotten in the photos. It's the worst, having someone snapping away at you. But I was professional, I did it. I just stood there with gritted teeth, ha-ha!

OK, will you tell us where you went last night?
James: Last night I went to the gym. I went to McFly's house to hang out, then back to my place, crashed and went to bed about midnight, I reckon.
Charlie: Last night I stayed in and watched an awful film - Animal Factory. It said it was more realistic than The Shawshank Redemption, which is one of my favourite films of all time.
Matt: I popped to my local for some Thai food, had a few drinks, then went home and got to bed at about two in the morning!

Miracle morning-after cures!

James
Go for a walk. A bit of fresh air always works. Open all your bedroom windows - doesn't matter if it's freezing cold, it alwas wakes you up.

Charlie
Cups of tea are always good - with a little bit of sugar. Ooh no, my real medical magic is honey, lemon and ginger. That's good for singing and stuff.

Matt:
Stay in bed all day, ha-ha!
