So Kav, being a much sought-after fella, do you get many girls trying to get into your undies?
(Laughing) Yes! When I was at the Pepsi Chart, this girl, who used to wait outside my studio in Italy, was there!
She'd come all the way from Italy and she wanted to go back to the hotel for a good old...y'know! She was a beautiful girl, but my security guy wouldn't let me do anything about it. But she was whispering (in a sexy Italian voice), "Come this way, where are you staying?"

Are all your fans that saucy?
Yeah, a few. I get some rude letters. There's this one girl who follows me around and never talks. She gave me a letter once about what she wanted to do with me. I thought it was just gonna say I like you, but she wanted to feel my (ahem). I was shocekd!

What if they get you on your own at your hotel?
One girl came to my hotel at 10 o'clock one night. The next night I was having a drink and she was still there - watching me.
I asked her what she was doing and she said it was a coincidence! When I came down at midnight she was still there. It was dead weird so I told her off. I had to say "Look, this is my spare time". I told her she should be at home.

Are you worried they are only after you cos you're famous?
Every time I go out I think like that and it can ruin you. You end up isolating yourself and you get paranoid. I've been chilled recently and I've got good instincts so I can usually tell in the first five minutes.

What gives it away?
If someone you don't know is all over you it's a dead giveaway. The other night, I was at a club in Manchester when these girls came over to me. I thought, "You're only here for one reason", and it felt empty. What do you say to them after you've said hello?

Do you ever really like a girl and talk yourself out of it cos she may only like you for your fame?
(Sadly) Every time I meet someone, that thought is there. It's stupid I know, Eventually you get to the point where you think, "God, I could be a bachelor for the rest of my life!" I've really got to sort it out!

Have you met any girls that you thought were OK, but turned out to be completely bonkers?
No I haven't, coz like I say, I can usually tell. Who knows, maybe I've just been lucky.

So with the fans...do you...you know!?
Do I dabble with the fans? Hahaha! There's a limit isn't there? I'd never rule it out, but up till now, I 've never had the opportunity. You do a show or signing, then you're whisked away, so you don't get a chance to talk to the fans.
There's the Smash Hits UK tour, where everyone hangs out in a hotel, but it's not a natural meeting place. So, no, I've never had a snogfest with a fan.

What makes someone sexy?
Confidence, laughter and someone who listens. Eye contact is important. I've been in a crowded room, seen a girl, caught her eye and made a connection. i wouldn't usually follow it up, but I've been going for it recently!

What do you think your sexiest feature is?
My eyes - I've been complimeted on them before. But everyone's eyes are sexy. I don't mean to sound like some kind of love god, but are eyes are the windows to the soul - they don't lie. No matter what, eyes say it all.

How would you rate you sexiness out of 10?
It changes every day! Some says I'm a 10, others I'm a two. A 10 is when I'm having a good night out, I'm in a good mood, I've got great company, and great conversation. Two is when I wake up in the morning and I'm not feeling good - and my hairs sticking up!

Which perfume do you find sexy?
I like CKOne on a girl, but not on a man. I also like Dolce & Gabbana for women. It's sexy, intense and rich.

What makes you go, "phwoar"?
Short leather skirts! And a girl who's in tune with her body. You can tell by the way she carries herself. Madonna still does it for me, and there's something about Sandra Bullock. She hasn't got big boobs and loads of hair, but there's something about her. The Pamela Anderson look does nothing for me.

Billie said if she could snog anyone, it would be you! Would you snog her?
Is that what she said? No, I don't think I would, not until she's a little older/

We heard you took her out for a romantic meal, is that true?
It wasn't romantic, we simply went out for dinner. She was in Manchester so I took her for something to eat. She's a lovely girl, who's really mature for her age, and I know it's tough when you're young in this business. But there's no way anything could happen at the moment cos she's only 16. Maybe in a few years - you never know!

In the past, you've said you fancy Mel C and Nicky from All Saints. Do you still have the hots for them?
I was into Nicky, but she's with Robbie now. And I used to see a lot of Mel C cos we were mates. She looks fantastic at the moment - better than ever.

Have you ever snogged two girls in one night?
Not recently, but I did when I was younger. I used to go from one girl to the next at the school disco. I probably went through five in one night! We were only young and they didn't mind anyway. I've never cheated on a girlfriend though, I'm very loyal. In fact, I can be too loyal and a bit jealous at times.

Has your mum ever walked in on you snogging a girl?
Yeah when I was about eight! My mum walked in on me snogging my second cousin! When I was younger, my mates walked in on me snogging a girl, but 10 minutes later, they were all snogging her too!

What makes you go wobbly at the knees?
I think it's just being in love or lust. You know, when you can't sleep, you can't eat and all you want to do is think about that one individual. But in all honestly I truely prefer the chase. The build-up to the relationship thinkg is often more exciting. Then when you've got it, it's never as good!

What gets you hot and bothered?
When a girl kisses or licks the back of my neck! Ohh-ahh!!
