Everything A True Fan Wanted To Know About: Mikey
When was the last time you went horse riding?
It was for the video to Isn't It A Wonder. Myself and Ronan went riding along the Australian desert trails. It was so hot - fantastic. I love horses and I love to ride but I haven't had the chance for ages cos I've been so busy.
What's the most dangerous sport you've tried?
I was a kickboxer before the band and that was dangerous. I got the odd busted lip and broken nose. How many times have I had my nose broken? One or two. I tell a lie, three.
Is a dog a man's best friend?
Yeah, cos they do what you tell them to most of the time and they don't talk back. They don't ask for anything. They're always there for you so they're better than people. I don't have much faith in human nature to be honest.
Who cleans your house?
I clean my own house. I won't have anyone cleaning up after me - I don't believe in it. Whenever I come home I just throw the suitcase on the floor and grab another one, so the first thing I see when I walk through the door after a trip is an open suitcase of dirty washing.
Do you drink tea or coffee?
I prefer tea - and I take two sugars.
What's in the CD player in your car?
The Greatest Classical CD Ever. Also The Fugees, The Police Live, Squeeze. There's a Michael Jackson in there, Toni Braxton... I have a 10-CD player, so there are plenty to choose from.
Where is the fuse box in your house?
It's just inside the back door.
Do you have a customer account card at B&Q?
I don't have any store cards cos they make you lose track of what you spend. I have a Visa card cos I need that for hotels and when I go abroad.
Why does Anthea Turner earn so much money?
Because she's very professional and looks like a doll.
