Nick Confidential
- If you've got a tattoo you're in luck - Nick loves it if a girl has one. However, he reckons it doesn't really matter to him how a girl looks, as long as she has a big heart.
- Despite the floppy fringe and cute looks, Nick's not exactly what you'd call a Romeo - he reckons the most romantic thing he's ever done is take a girl to Burger King.
- Our Nick's a real animal man and loves spending time at home with his dogs and cats - but there's one pet he'd love to add to his collection - a shark! "That would be cool!" he laughs. "I think when I eventually move into a place of my own, I'll have an aquarium built. Then I can keep a baby shark!"
- Nick admits his best mate Brian's operation last year really upset him. "Although everyone was saying he'd be fine, we didn't really know for sure." He confides quietly. "Until he was back with is, we didn't realize how scary the whole thing had been."
- The residents of Nick's hometown, Orlando, were so impressed with the lad's success, they gave him the keys to the city. "They were huge keys," he remembers. "So we couldn't actually open any door with them! It's more of a symbolic thing, y'know? It means we were officially important!"
- Nick still feels alarmed by fans' antics. "The weirdest thing was these girls who crept into our bus and hid in the toilet." He laughs. "We drove 30 mils before Howie found them - he got a shock when he went to the bathroom!"
- Nick's not just a pretty face y'know - he's also a very talented cartoonist. He reckons, he's got Brian, AJ, Kevin and Howie down to a tee.
- Being in a pop group from a very early age meant Nick had to juggle classes with concerts, and take a tutor with him on tour. "Sometimes I'm sad that I missed out on the whole American high school thing," he reveals. "The social life, playing in a team and dating girls…"
- Nick may be a world famous megastar himself, but that doesn't stop him getting excited about meeting other celebs. "Hmmm… we've met Whitney Houston, The Bee Gees, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Arnold Schwarzeneggar… we've met a lot of really cool people." He tells us.
- Nick's such a joker. "It's a tradition that at the last show you do little gags and stuff. I've even bought firecrackers that pop when you put them under the phone or toilet seat." He chuckles.
- There's one luxury Nick hasn't got yet - a private jet. "I'd love to call my mum and say, 'Hey, we're gonna go to Colorado and sky, and then we're going to Puerto Rico or Jamaica or the Bahamas…"
- Sensitive Nick still gets upset when the press makes up stories about BSB. "We saw something saying we were splitting up," he recalls. "That made us angry cause it's rubbish. "Once I even read I was having my nose pierced by AJ!"
- Can you believe Nick wasn't that popular with the girls at school? Apparently everyone used to think he was weird cause he wanted to be a pop star.
