TAKE THAT - The Uncensored Version

Interview: Sue Wheeler

It's taken weeks to set up an interview with Take That, the biggest thing to come out of Manchester since Bernard Manning. It seems when they're not recording, they're jetting to New York or appearing on TV, but today's the day...

I'm due to meet the boys at a hotel in Kensington and I've been told by their press officer that they can give me two hours of their time - not a minute more! I pull up in a taxi, laden with bags full of clothes, and stumble towards the hotel entrance. A swarm of hungry fans (all female) scrutinize me closely - they'd probably lynch me if they knew whose bedroom I was about to visit. I make my way towards room 405, and as I walk along the corridor I can hear the most uproarious cheering coming from the far end. Gary, wearing just a toweling robe and a huge smile, opens the door and welcomes me in. The noise is deafening. Howard is trying to talk on the phone, but he can hardly hear a word above the din. The boys are ecstatic. They've just heard that their single, Why Can't I Wake Up With You?, has catapulted way up the charts and they couldn't be in a better mood. Punching the air in unison they suggest celebrating with Perrier all round. Conscious of the limited amount of time I have with them, I suggest they get dressed (or undressed) ready for the photo shoot. Jason cries out in his Mancunian tones to 'Cookie' (their make-up man) to stand by with the powder as the camera starts clicking.

One hour, and several gorgeous photos later I'm perched on a bed with the boys, tape recorder poised. Is Gary a virgin? Would Howard take Cindy Crawford up to his bedroom? Do stone-throwing fans make them mad? They don't seem to mind what kind of questions I throw at them. Read on to discover what they told me...

YOUR VIDEO FOR WHY CAN'T I WAKE UP WITH YOU? IS QUITE DIFFERENT TO OTHERS YOU'VE DONE. WHAT DO YOU PERSONALLY LIKE BEST ABOUT IT?

MARK: This was a totally new approach for us. We're used to being on a video shoot for a day and knowing exactly what we're going to be doing. With this, there was a lot more time spent on individual people. The lighting was done to perfection and it was shot beautifully. It's a bit dreamy and you can sort of get taken in by the dream.

JASON: We didn't dance at all. We just kind of did our own thing, which is why I think it's so sensual. The video is sexy looking without us really doing anything.

ROBBIE: I think the song really suits the video and an essential part of the video was, of course, finding the dead stoat frozen in the middle of the moat, don't you think? (Yes...er...moving right along now lads.)

SO YOU SUPPORT THE THEORY THAT SEX SELLS RECORDS?
