HEAVEN'S KITCHEN
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen - but with Girls Aloud raising the temperature to that of Hell itself, there isn't a bloke on earth who wouldn't risk getting burned...

When it comes to miscarriages of justice, they don't come much bigger than this. Forget the Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six, this is the Girls Aloud Five we're talking about, and, as we learned one planet-shifting morning, four of this most vein-pumpingly attractive five-piece... are SINGLE.

Yes. Get up off the floor, pop your jaws back in and keep reading. Think about that the next time you're desperately pleading with your ungrateful girlfriend not to sleep on the sofa again, or dredging the local nightclub for anything even approaching mammalian. These fine specimens of ladyhood are out there and traipsing to bed with nothing but a cup of cocoa to keep them warm.

Fret not though, gentle reader, for we here at FHM are nothing if not big-hearted - and are here to help. Just as our first Girls Aloud cover was a sell-out - flying off the shelves like giant, beautifully adorned bats - we're here to do it all again, and in the process advertise the lasses like some beautiful Exchange & Mart. So strap yourselves in, chaps, and get ready to meet the possible future missus.


SARAH

So, last time we spoke you promised to make love to Cheryl if she didn't get a man by the end of the year. We'll, she's still single - did you take any pictures?
Ha ha! I know, I can't believe I said that. That got me into so much trouble.

Word has it you're single - are you looking for some sweet, sweet love?
Yeah, I'm out there having fun looking for a man. But I'm chatted up less now than before I was in the band.

Did you know you made the 100 Top FHM moments of all time?
Did I? Was it for my High Street Honey entry? That's great. I'm an FHM legend!

In your single "The Show" you talk about hanging around the kitchen in your underwear - tell us it's true...
Of course. You get up in the morning and make yourself a brew, and you're just in your pants. I always walk round the house like that. I wander past the windows all the time, but luckily the paparazzi haven't caught me yet.

Would you go topless on holiday?
No. I used to, but I can't do it any more and my boobs end up like two flashing white lights compared to the rest of me. I can see in the dark with mine, ha ha! I tried to make up for it on my last holiday by bathing in a thong, but the papers got a shot of me with my arse out. I don't think anyone wants to look at that over their Corn Flakes.

Not so sure about that, my dear. So, talking about thongs - have you ever ventured out commando?
Oh yeah! If I nip down the shops there's every chance I'm commando.

What do you think about dressing up?
I love it. When we performed as schoolgirls it went down a storm, but it was at G-A-Y and I don't think the guys were interested! We're thinking of going back in slumber party outfits. And I've always wanted to dress up as a nurse...

Lordy! Moving on, do you still claim to have the best underwear in the band?
Yes, I'm a lingerie shopaholic. I can't go out with mismatching underwear. I stick with the high-street stores, though, 'cause I bought some Agent Provocateur lingerie but I've not had the right occasion to wear them...

We envy the bloke who's present for their unveiling. When you all used to live together, did you ever hear one of the other girls shagging?
Ha ha, I never did and I don't think I'd want to. I've been in a hotel when the people next door were going for it, and it was terrible 'cause my brain locked onto the sound. Then when that died down the people next door started up - I was in a shagging sandwich.

NICOLA

You're known as the naughtiest band member. Make us BELIEVE it.
I'm just used to always being out! I'm constantly ringing the girls, saying, "Please come out with me!" I can't sit in the flat every night. You don't want to look back and say, "Well, when I was 18 I just say in the house." So I go out. And when I get drunk, I'm loud.

Try harder. Details, please.
Erm... right, a couple of weeks ago me and a mate went out to a Chinese restaurant in Liverpool - and had a full-blown food fight. Rice, tomato sauce over the walls... slapping each other with soaking wet napkins. It was bad. We got told to leave. I woke up the next morning and thought, "That poor man." And I had napkin gashes all over my face.

Passed! Who's your partner in crime in the band?
First it was Cheryl, and now it's Kimberley. And Sarah's been out loads since she became single - she just thought, **** it, I'm just going to go out. We're going to get into trouble, I'm sure. Cheryl says I'm going to die if I don't calm down. We need to.

You live with Cheryl - who's the messiest?
Me. Easily. After I get back from tour, I just chuck all my clothes on the floor and leave them there. We had a cleaner but she walked out. She didn't even resign - she just refused to come back.

Here's a weird thing: do you really have a phobia of stickers?
Oh my god - yeah! It's weird, but I just can't stand the sight of people peeling stickers off walls. You know when you scratch it with your nail, and then you can see the sticky stuff pulling away? Bleurgh. My two little brothers tease me about it all the time.

Ri-ight. Let's move on. As the only Girl Aloud getting any sex, are you trying to match-make for the rest of the girls?
Not really, I think they're able to do that themselves. Mind you, they keep going on that they're happy to be single. But I don't think I could go that long without having sex.

So what's the longest you've ever been without?
About a week. Then I really star getting hyped up. I'm on the phone as quick as I can to my fella; "Come round, quick!" If you're on tour, it's more difficult. You just have to get your boyfriend to come with you.

Or you could just...
Ha ha! No - I'm not into self-pleasuring. I really need something to hold onto. So it's going to have to be my boyfriend. Either that, or a blow-up man.

CHERYL

The best bit of "The Show" video was you waxing some bloke...
It was great fun! The easiest video we've ever had to make. I really think men should wax their chests. Even a little hair - r-r-r-ip! Off it comes.

And where do you stand on pubes?
I don't really stand on them - I prefer to sit on them and wiggle.

B'dum, tish! Seriously.
I prefer men without pubic hair. Not shaven, but completely waxed. Hairy legs, hairy arms - that's fine. But THERE? Bleurgh! Just get rid of it. It's a lot more hygenic - all his previous girlfriends have had their bits rubbed on... there. Ugh. He's got to be clean. I should be able to eat my dinner off his... thing.

And what's your pubic style of choice?
The Brazilian. But a couple of months ago I had the full Hollywood. Yep - crack as well. My mate does it and says it's more sensitive and so on. And I thought, "That's it - I want mine off." But I'd never do it again. You feel bare.

Like the last turkey in the shop. Speaking of which - do you still see One True Voice?
Yeah, but it's a bit awkward. They ask what we're up to, and we say, "Oh, we're doing a big photoshoot for FHM." And they're like, "Oh. I'm off round to my gran's for a cup of tea." It's a shame - they're talented lads. Just **** music.

Do you have Spice-esque nicknames, since you live together? Farting Aloud? Shagging Aloud?
That one should be me, but it's not at the moment, ha ha! I've been single too long. We're all working too hard. For a while, we kind of morphed into one person. It was doing my ******* head in. We even synchronised periods - there was at least one week a month where any bloke would be eaten alive.

You perform at a lot of gay events...
I've never been tempted, if that's what you're asking. Actually, no - never say never. But I'm not interested right now.

Really? In my mind, you lot do it all the time...
Kimberley did try to snog me before in a nightclub. I thought about it, but then I realised we'd have to get up the next morning and work together, so... It was just a bit of fun - she's crazy when she's had a drink.

Finally, of your five FHM covers, which one do you think will sell best?
Don't show us the figures - it's not fair! But I think probably Sarah. Then again, I beat her by two places in this year's 100 Sexiest - I was 22. It was quite funny. And next year I want to be in the Top 10. Really. I'm going to go mad with FHM. Starting right here...

KIMBERLEY

FHM's worried. Have none of you, aside from Nicola, got laid in months?
No! There's a drought in Girls Aloud. We must be doing something wrong.

Cheryl told us you got so desperate once, you tried to snog her...
She sold me out, the ****! Right: I'll tell it how it is. I'm quite a friendly, cuddly kind of person - but after a few drinks, I sometimes think it'd be amusing to take it to the next level. Like sticking my tounge down Cheryl's throat. I don't actually remember it. Poor Cheryl - I think she was taken back by the idea.

Hmm. Still, if you want revenge, she loves men with no pubes...
I know, I can't think of anything worse. Trim is good - enough to keep you warm. I know blokes trim to make it look bigger, but I don't go for blokes who need to do that.

What kind do you go for?
Strong, silent types. I don't go out on the pull, though. I like to be approached, but you can do a lot when you're dancing - if you know the right moves.

You mean grab his nuts?
No - I'd never go down there with my hands, even when I was snogging. You don't go straight for the kill. Even men: you might glide over the breast area, but nothing more. Or just pinch her arse.

But that's generally agreed: if you're snogging, arses will be groped.
I know: that's fine. But you have to be ALLOWED into the world of boobs.

So what's your band nickname?
I get called certain things because of my big lips. Some men choose to draw attention to the fact they'd be good for certain... sexual activities. You know...

Kissin'?
Obviously. And something else. But I'm not saying **** all.

So: you'll say "**** all", but not "blow-job lips"?
That's the one. If nothing else, at least they're good for that. Well, I'd like to think so. I've never had any complaints.

Which Girl Aloud is best in the sack?
No idea. I'd give myself an eight: room for improvement. And I'm always willing to learn things. But I'll say this: Sarah's the most enthusiastic. And that's all I'm going to say on the matter.

Damn. But you live with Nadine: don't you... hear things?
We don't hear each other. [Calls out] Nadine! Have you ever heard me shagging? No - me neither.

So you're not "hanging around the kitchen in your underwear", as you so memorably sang?
Actually, I'm a bit of a naked girl. I just wander around the flat doing my washing in the nude. Nadine doesn't mind. Well, I hope she doesn't.

NADINE

So, how did you enjoy the shoot?
I thought it was great. I got to scoff a big ice-cream, so I was happy with that.

That's nice but, more importantly, how were your fabulous pins?
Well, they certainly made an appearance. I'm so surprised by the attention they've got. I used to think I had ugly legs and I never wore skirts. The first time I EVER wore one was for the "Sound Of The Underground" video. Someone realised I had good legs.

Thank the Lord they did. And they probably played a part in you being this year's highest climber in our 100 Sexiest poll - you leapt 41 places...
I know. It was very flattering. It makes me appreciate them even more, ha ha!

You live with Kimberley. Do you run around in frilly pink lingerie having pillow fights?
All the time, ha ha! Seriously though, when I get back to the house I often strip down and wander around in my pants - me and Kimberley both do.

Talking of pants, there was a picture in the papers that suggested you'd gone out forgetting to put a pair on...
Oh, that was ridiculous. I mean, I do go out most of the time commando - it's just easier, isn't it? But I would NEVER do it in a skirt. The funny thing is, I had a pair of thick, thick white shorts on that night, but the pictures made it look like I hadn't got anything on.

They say you know you've made it when you put your first restraining order on a stalker - didn't you come up against a nutter this year?
Yes, I did. Someone put flowers under the windscreen wipers of my car every day. At first it was sweet, but then I'd leave my house and come back and the radio was on when it wasn't before and I'd get these strange calls on my mobile, so by the end it was freaking me out. I couldn't be on my own for long and I'd climb into Kimberley's bed at night.

Sorry, lost our train of thought there. Now, you lot are from all over the country - was there a time when you'd all be chattering like Tourette's-suffering monkeys and have no idea what the others were saying?
Oh aye. Sarah still doesn't get what I'm on about. Cheryl and I had no bother, though - our accents are similar and we use exactly the same slang words. So we carry on in our own world and everyone else is totally oblivious to us.

Finally, you're another lass in the band who's single - do you want to see if the FHM readers are interested?
Oh, definitely. Normal guys are always much better than pop stars - those kinds of blokes always come with way too much baggage.

 

i love how kimberley said this
