If you could be on the cover of Smash Hits with anyone, who would it be?
Louise, 'cos I really like her. I think she's really nice. I hope you put that, too, because every time I see her I get all shy and embarassed. Of all time, though, it would be Stevie Wonder ('70s soul legend).

Does the road of excess lead to the palace of wisdom?
(With relish) Yes! Certainly for me. Excess of eating too much led me to having my wisdom tooth out (laughs delightedly).

Who does your ironing?
Me or my mum, usually. I actually enjoy ironing, I find it really soothing. I put my CD on and iron away. Which CD? Well, the Rosie and Jim soundtrack's pretty good - that's a Children's ITV show (titters).

TOUGH COOKIE
When will you admit that you're really only 12 years old?
Never. I wasn't even gonna admit what my real name was until Smash Hits printed it. Hopefully no-one will find out that I'm only twelve. Anyway, I've got some really cool glasses now and I reckon they make me look older!

Could you beat Liam Gallagher in a fight?
It depends how many pints I've had! And how many pints he'd had. Do I reckon he's a wuss on the quiet? Er, no, I just reckon he's not a bad a boy as he makes out. Do I think he'll pick a fight with me now? Well, if I say he won't he'll probably beat me to a pulp, so perhaps I'd best keep my mouth shut!

What's the best thing your parents taught you when you were growing up
Never count your chickens before they hatch. So when I get a chicken farm in a few years I'll know to keep my eye on 'em.

Where do you travel to in your dreams?
I don't normally go anywhere, I just dream about different things.Like the other night, I had a dream about a gun. I had this magic gun and I was walking around the streets shooting people, but it wasn't bullets coming out of the gun, it was stars and they were giving people loads of money and stuff!

If you could be any animal, which one would you be?
I'd like to be my cat, Mickey. I'd like to see what goes on in his head and why he constantly has to poo in the bathroom or under my bed!

Do you admit it when you fart?
Yeah. I'm quite proud of them, they're usually very good. I'm the Fart Champion!

Do you nick the soaps and the shower caps when you stay in a hotel?
(Before the questions even finished) All the time! My mum's got a nice little collection going in the bathroom. I nicked some just this morning actually. I always go home and say: 'Mum, I've got a present for you'. I went to Paeis last week and they had loads of good ones. She'll be dead pleased when she sees them.

JAMMY DODGER
Have you ever been skinny-dipping?
I did, once, yeah, when I was in the cubs. We went to this really boring lake and there was loads of beers and stuff (cubs,beer, hello...). We all skinny-dipped in this freezing pool and lasted about two minutes.

What's your favourite fruit?
Bananas. Why? They're good for you, they give you energy and they fill you up. What? They're good for your sperm? (Enthusiastically) Really? (Recovering) Well, I wouldn't know anything about that, ha, ha!

Why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa lean?
I dunno to be honest with you - I've never discovered why it leans. Is it to do with the fact that it was built so high, and er, is it to do with the wind? Maybe over the years the wind has made it lean or collapse or something. I was up the Eiffel Tower the other week, if that's any use to you (er, no, it isn't!).

Tell Smash Hits a dark family secret.
(Pause) My mum's psychic. No matter who she meets, she'll instantly know a lot about them. If she met you now she'd be able to tell you a lot about yourself (brrr!). She reads tea-leaves too.

Has any star ever given you advice that you secretly thought was bobbins?
No, but my science teacher did. He said I should be a binman. Mr Blarty he was called - put that in because I hate him! The careers officers would say the rubbishest things as well, that I should work in a factory or help in a chemists - all that cobblers. Not that I'm slagging off my school or anything. Mind you, they've never congratulated me once, but they put an advert in the paper for a big school reunion and decided to use my picture. It was like, 'The school where the stars come from - Steve Coogan and new star Kavana'. I'm not gonna go - I'm gonna send them a signed photo with a rude message on. As for famous people, I take any advice. They usually say: 'Make sure you keep your feet on the ground and look after yourself'.

Why's your best friend your best friend?
He's always there when I need him and he always tells me that I'm right (laughs). He's called Mark.

What was the last thing you did before this interview began?
I had a buffet in my hotel and it was the weirdest concoction of food I've ever had! Panyan pickle, ham, egg, strawberries, rice and chicken with big pieces of boiled ham in it. Well, I thought it was very strange anyway.

What's the best thing a fan has given you?
Last night a fan gave me a bracelet. Then later on, when I signed an autograph for her, she told me it was her grandmother's bracelet, so I had to give it back to her. It's dead sweet when they do something like that, but when it gets too much you've got to give 'em it back. I usually get loads of condoms. I dunno why, 'cos I'm not getting any! (Any what?!)

What's the closest you've ever come to death?
I was about seven and I was in the sea in Cornwall. Me, my sister and my dad went in the sea. My mum was sunbathing on the shore with her tights wrapped around her head (eh?). This big wave came and sucked me under, right to the bottom and I remember looking up and thinking, 'I can't swim'. My dad and sister were screaming my name because they thought I was dead
and all the while my mum is waving on the beach, thinking I was OK (not so psychic then is she?). She doesn't know about it yet, but I suppose she will now!

Why don't you call yourself Anthony then?
It wasn't my idea to be called Kavana, but Anthony's a bit boring. It wouldn't have been right. People like Madonna and Prince only use one name don't they? Mind you, I really hated my surname at school, but now I'm quite proud of it. And of course I'm not ashamed of my first name!
