Mizz 2002
So, how did you get into the band?
Aaron: "In the middle of last year there were auditions for S Club Juniors." Daisy: "Then, in November 2001, S Club 7 came to pick the last auditions - they helped to pick us eight."

Were any of you in showbiz before?
Aaron: "Nah, but I did a couple of educational videos - you know, programmes that show people how to bandage cuts and stuff. I had to pretend to fall and hurt my leg in one.

What about School?
Jay: "We still have to study. We have three hours a day with tutors. At first it was weird, but we're used to it now."

How are you different to S Club7, then?
Calvin: "There's eight of us and we're way cooler! We've got the S Club name but we sing our own songs."

The boys on the girls:

Do you fancy the Junior gals?
Jay: "Nah, we tease 'em too much to fancy 'em. Like in the hotel thes morning, there were only two bits of watermelon left for brekkie. Me and Clavin hate watermelon but knew the girls really wanted it, so we nabbed them just to wind 'em up." Aaron: "As you get to know the girls, you find out their bad bits. When you're around 'em 24/7 they do get on your nerves."

If you were a girl for a day, what would you do?
All boys: "Euugh! Why'd you wanna be a girl for a day?" Calvin: "It'd be so sad, I can do everything I want as a lad." Jay: "And if you're a girl, you've got so many things to do - l ike your hair and make-up. Being a boy I just get up and I'm ready."

What's the biggest mystery about girls?
Jay: "Thongs! Why do girls need them? The Junior girls wear 'em all the time and I can't work out why. What's wrong with pants?" Aaron: "I don't understand why girls take loads of clothes everywhere with them. I mean, Stacey's never come down to London without a huge suitcase. Is that really necessary?" Calvin: "And why do girls have to tell each other secrets? I can't understand what they're talking about."

Ever had a girlfriend?
Aaron and Jay: "Nah. Of course we all get our fair share of interest. But Clavin's the girl magnet." Calvin: "Yeah, I love looking out for hot girls! I've had girlfriends cos I just go up to lasses and chat. I used to get really embarrassed doing it, but Jay's good at talking to girls, so he gives me tips."

Do you like it when girls ask you out?
Calvin: "No, cos they always send two friends over to ask for them. It they're gonna do it, they should ask themselves."

Own up - are girls really more mature than boys?
Calvin: "Nooo! Well, not the Junior ones anyway." Jay: "Especially when they do stuff like link arms when they walk down the street. Everyone stares - it's so cringey."

The girls on the boys...

Tell us something we don't know about the Juniors lads...
Frankie: "Calvin farts loads. And they reek. We always tell him to go to the toilet, but he never does - yuk!" Hannah: "Jay loves his teddy bear! He left it at the girls' apartment one night and he was almost in tears. He phoned up, begging us to look after it." Rochelle: "Aaron loves tomato sauce. He puts it on everything. Oh, and he sings all the time. We'll be going down the street and he'll start."

Who's your biggest crush?
Rochelle: "I don't think any of us have had one yet. But Calvin's had enough for all of us!"

What do the boys worry about?
Daisy: "Their hormones." Hannah: "And how they look. Like, one day Jay got a spot, screamed and ran into the bathroom. But it was so tiny, you couldn't even see it." Frankie: "Calvin worries about his hair. And girls, of course!"

What's the best way to get round a lad?
Frankie: "Batting your eyelashes. Ask a question and follow it with some lash fluttering. Trust me, it always works!"

Which of the boys would you set a mate up with?
All: "Calvin!" Stacey: "All of my school friends think he's lovely." Daisy: "...And he's got a nice personality. He can be quite shy but he looks after you."

Complete the sentence: "Boys drive me mad cos..."
Stacey: "... They try to hide it when they're hurt. Like the other day, Calvin was eating this really hot chilli... Hannah: "He swallowed it to be cool then pretended he was fine - even though he had to drink loads of water after. I wish he'd just admitted that it hurt."
