Charlie smells? James wants a wigwam? Matt never has baths? We're all in a (tent) flap as BUSTED take us on a camping trip we'll never forget! Pass the wet wipes.

Aer you too famous to go camping now? Isn't it five-star hotels all the way?
Matt: Well, I'm going to Reading Festival thing year with my brother and my best mate but we've got a camper van. We're cheating!
Charlie: I went camping for three years on the trot in a dome tent with my brother.
James: I think Charlie's too big to go camping cos he won't fit in the tent, ha-ha!
Matt: It's sooo stupid going camping then sneaking off to a hotel. But I do believe in still being clean.
Charlie: I smell when I go camping.. whatever. Everyone else smells too.
James: I've only been camping once in my life. I didn't like it because it was in a camp site, eurgh! That's not proper camping. I'd like a wigwam though cos the thing about wigwams is that you can have a fire inside them.

Are you too big for a sleeping bag Charlie?
Charlie: No, I have one that's big enough for me.
James: He has to have them custom made!

Three of you snuggling up in a two-man tent.. who'd get stroppy first?
Matt: [Whispering] Charlie.
Charlie: I wouldn't get stroppy! I'd be chilled out. It'd be funny cos I'm used to doing the D of E (Duke of Edinburgh) awards.
Matt: It'd probably be me cos Charlie makes weird sounds when he sleeps. He makes this noise [smacks his lips as though eating a bun]. He does it for ages! I'd just be dropping off and he'd be like 'Hur-flkjaf-I say, hua ha-ha-ha-ha-indeed!' Sometimes Charlie talks like that in the day but it's even worse when he's asleep. You just hear one random word, like 'pigeon'!
Charlie: Whereas James is the sort of person who'd be huggled over for three hours trying to light firewood, ha-ha!
James: I'm actually the brains behind this band!

Tell us about school camping trip shenanigans.
Matt: When we went camping we got a bowl with warm water and when our mate was asleep we put his fingers in it and it made him wee himself.
Charlie: Nah, it's cold water..
Matt: ..but it worked and he wet his sleeping bag, ha-ha! He undid his sleeping bag, it was like 'Oaaargh!' Plus, he weed all over his bags so all his clothes at wee on them!

Bet there were a fwe tent disasters too!
Matt: I burnt my tent down once! I had a torch and left it on, right next to the material of the tent.
Charlie: Your tent goes on fire like that [clicks fingers] in about five seconds.
James: Tents are highly flammable!
Matt: I was still in it and I could smell hot fumes. It was burning away so we all ran out really fast. Once my brother and his best mate sellotaped the end of my sleeping bag up!
Charlie: Didn't you notice?
Matt: Well.. I was asleep! It only took me two seconds to break out of it though.

Who's the biggest sissy and afraid of the dark?
Charlie: Ghost stories and paranormal stuff freaks out me. You should just sing rugby songs instead!
Matt: Charlie's friends tried to teach us rugby songs and make me join in on his birthday! I was not very impressed! [Singing in a gruff rugby voice] Do your (bleep) hang low, do your da da da.. ha-ha! I get freaked out by the bugs though. I hate bugs! When you go camping you get so many on you, it's disgusting.

Talking of disgusting - after relieving yourself in the great outdoors how do you feel about picking up leaves and wiping your underneath?
Matt: Tsk! Pooing outside is just disgraceful! It's wrong.
James: But you'd poo on the floor, ha-ha!
Charlie: When I was in the army cadets it was awful. We had to eat out of mess tins and stuff. It was all cold and wet: going out at four in the morning and running with them firing at you.
Matt: Imagine if you were casually walking across a field and it was just like, splat! There'd be no way you could tell if it was dog poo or human poo.
James: You get let cowpats go but human pats?! Eurgh!
Charlie: There's helpful leaves though, when you go camping.. dock leaves - not for wiping your bum! But once I fell into a bed of stingers and dock leaves saved me.

We're talking survival now. If you had to, had to, had to, would you drink each other's wee?
All: No way!
Matt: I'd rather suck the ground - surely there's some moisture there.

Are you shy about getting your kit off in a tent?
Matt: We're fine.. No, no, no! I've never seen a Busted boy's willy, before that question even comes up!

Tsk! We were actually going to ask you if you knew the country code.
Charlie: What? Only to wee in certain areas?
James: It's 8844, isn't it?!
Matt: I'm a townie, man, I don't know.
Charlie: Funnily enough, I've been chased by bulls. I was with my mates in this field and we had to leg it away from these bulls. Their hooves started showing going, du, du, du then it was like, dudududududududu!

Your camping trip is finally over. What's the first thing you do when you get back home?
All: Wash!
Charlie: I'd lie in the bath.
Matt: I never have a bath!

I will survive!

Would the Busted boys survive in the wild?

What would you do if you came across an amaita virosa? (Aka a stink horn mushroom. Just one capful is deadly, so avoid it)
Charlie: A what? I'd ask someone what it was.
Matt: I'd eat it!
James: I'd run away from it.

Can you tell us the correct technique for purifying water? (Distil it by boiling up the water, collecting all the steam in a bowl or pan, then waiting for it to condense into pure water you can drink)
James: Boil it?
Charlie: Nah, you need to distil it, but you need the right equipment.
James: I'd just take chlorine tablets.

How should you prepare an earthworm for eating? (Soak them in salty water, apparently!)
Charlie: You don't eat earthworms. I'd rather starve.
Matt: Eat the grass.
James: Be nice and split it in two so half of it can live.
Charlie: Or call the police!

Quick! Duck under the guy rope as we unzip all the boys' secrets from inside their tent at Camp BUSTED! Just watch your bonce on the tent pole!

Right, stop trying to distract us with those juicy bangers! You're good mates, but c'mon and dish the dirt on what niggles you about each other!
Charlie: When James is doing that! [James is sitting there staring into space with a mucho-glazed look on his mush]. You're talking to him and he's not listening to one word you're saying. I just have to shout, 'Listen to what I'm (bleep)ing saying!'
Matt: Yeah, it really annoys me, too. What the hell is going on inside his head? Nothing!
James: I don't just go [pulls exactly the same expression as before] - I'm thinking about stuff! I'm not just thinking about nothing.
Matt: Well it looks like it!
Charlie: It'd be cool to have a projecter to see what's going on in someone's brain. If we did that to James, I'd love to see it.
Matt: There'd be so much random stuff, ha-ha! It'd just be flicking from image to image.
Charlie: A big banana made into a boat and James riding in it.
Matt: James riding a massive pink elephant.
James: I'm obviously just a genius.

So, if you could change something about the other boys, you'd change James from being a dilly daydreamer into a..?
Matt: I wouldn't change anything, oh, apart from I'd have a better car than Charlie's. He's got an amazing car.
Charlie: A Porsche! I look after it really well. I polish it and stuff all the time.

Obviously, you're all in the Busted club but do you belong to any other clubs?
Matt: I'm still a member of my tennis club.
Charlie: We go to a country club in Thorpenes, well, whenever we go there on holiday.
Matt: Ha-ha, a country club? I'm still a member of a gym. Tsk! I pay so much money for it, about £70 a month, and I haven't been for a year.
James: There's a resident society where we live, which is like a club. I just want to say that they stole our basketball net!
Matt: Yeah man, I hate where we live! They're idiots. They just stole it. We went away on tour, came back and they'd given it to the local Scouts group!

Glad you dob, dob, dobbed them in! So what's the naughtiest thing you've got away with recently?
Matt: The other week I went out with my mates and we ordered a big bottle of drink. I tried to pay but the card machine wouldn't work so the woman asked me to come back in half an hour, which I did, but it still wasn't working so I went away, we drank the drink and I didn't go back. Well, I had tried to pay twice!

Tut-tut! On the subject of naughtiness, how do you feel about your fans being tipped off to your every move?
Matt: I don't know how they know! We really don't know who tells them.
James: It's good to have fans like that though, they're very dedicated. We love them but it would annoy anyone at seven in the morning when they're knocking on your door!

Are your fans fitter than fans of Blazin' or Blue?
Matt: Our fans are mad.. they're wicked. They're really dedicated. On the tour some of them came to every single gig.
Charlie: The fittest fans are Justin Timberlake's! Ours are OK, though.
James: Our fans are fitter than D-Side fans, ha!
Charlie: No, no, we've definitely got a few good ones - the fitties!

Have any famous fitties ever come on to you lot?
Charlie: Aaah, Britney, Cameron, Tara - Tara Reid.. I'm joking! Er, I haven't had any famous women come on to me.
Matt: Neither have I.

Well, we reckon the choice is yours. What rumours would you like to start here and now?
Charlie: That I went on a date with Britney once would be nice.
Matt: Charlie is probably 365th in line to the throne! Charlie, if you search through your roots I bet there's royalty there.
James: Yeah, cos Charlie's relative is buried in Westminster Abbey.
Charlie: That's true - it's my great grandad! He was the head of the Royal School of Music and he was knighted.
James: I'd like it if it was actually something true. Like I'm Michael Jackson's long lost son!

But what's the headline you'd like to see on the front page of the daily rag?
Matt: 'Matt wins £40million at casino!'
Charlie: 'Charlie pulls Britney (it's love!)'

OK, tell us something about the world of Busted that would really shock us!
Matt: I'm actually a descendant of Elvis Presley!
James: Nah, I am Elvis!

Er.. what about these two words - posing nude?
James: That's desperate! It's a really cheap thing to do.
Charlie: It's ridiculous!
Matt: A hell of a lot of money would maybe tempt me. More than a million. It'd have to set me up for life.

So who'd look the best if you did happen to pose nude?
Matt: Everyone would be stunned by the sheer monstrosity of us! Actually, I'd be more like that [slouches and sticks his belly out], ha-ha!

Is there a Busted secret that you'll never tell?
Matt: Yep, there's two secrets. Two, but - now, it's not that I don't trust you - but you've gotta have some secrets haven't you?
James: There's nothing new. I like Jaffa cakes, I like Michael Jackson and everyone knows it.
Charlie: We never do anything much nowadays!
Matt: But your magazine knows pretty much everything about us.
