SH : Okay Stephen, we're giving you a million pounds. What are you going to do with it?
I'd probably put it in the bank until I really needed it, or I'd invest it. (thinks for a second) Mind you, in reality, I'd probably go and buy loads of clothes, a box of sweets and go on holiday. Man, you could do so many things, couldn't you? A million pounds!
Would you shave your head?
(laughs) Yeah, of course. I'm sure it would grow back.
Would you get a tatoo?
oh yeah, and for a million, I would get whatever you wanted on it. Smash hits forever? Sure, no problem.
But would you give up pop music?
No way. Music is the one thing that allows me to express myself. Nothing can replace the feeling I get from performing and knowing that people enjoy my music. Ten million pounds wouldn't be enough.
Could we get you to munch on a whole bowl of frogs' legs?
I ate raw liver once, and I've eaten plenty of weird things, so frogs'legs wouldn't be that bad. I'm actually not that good with food, I'm pretty fussy. I like normal things like chicken and chips, but Eloy's a very good cook. Thai, Japanese, he cooks everything. I'm just the professional help, cutter and washer.
Would you bungee jump off the London Eye?
(Looks excited) yeah, yeah! I've never been bungee jumping before, but I have been shot in the air out of a cannon, which is like the opposite of bungee jumping. You're in this little cage with two people and they wind and wind you up then shoot you out - it's fantastic. I'm not scared of heights or anything, one time I got dropped 210 feet. You're strapped into a harness with three people and you are hanging from a wire. You freefall for ages and just swing like a pendulum.
Would you let us pierce your tongue?
What, you personally? No. (Laughing) i would probably get it pierced for a million quid, but not by choice. I'd have to be getting the money or there's no way I'd do it.
So basically, you'd do pretty much anything for a million pounds! How about posing naked for a saucy magazine?
Yeah, maybe for a bit more than a million quid. Let's just say if the offer was right, I'd do it!


(er, I suggest we all start collecting money - Benedicte ;o)
