Boy band Blue

To celebrate their reunion, we rounded up pop's hottest boy band - and let them off their leashes

Excitement reached fever pitch when we heard you were reuniting. Duncan, do you think you still reign as Blue's heart-throb?
Hardly! Look at that over there [points to Simon wearing no top and looking very buff].

Ant, with ripped Si around are you feeling pressure to hit the gym?
Are you saying I'm fat? You're saying I'm fat!

We're not. Don't be so defensive!
During this style of photo shoot I do get a bit paranoid.

So did you all enjoy being on the Fabulous leash?
Simon: I was nervous. I don't like being out of control.
Lee: I'm scared of what my fiancée [Samantha Miller, 25] is going to say!
Antony: Sexy poses just aren't me.
Duncan: I loved it! It's great exploring our naughty side and getting down and dirty.

That's the spirit. So have you tried dog collars and chains in the bedroom before?
Duncan: No. I think I'm going to leave them with you.
Antony: It freaks me out. I like to make things exciting, but all this whipping and slashing - I'll leave it to the professionals!
Simon: I've got a bit of an addictive personality, so I wouldn't dare.
Lee: Maybe. That's all I'm saying!

Behind the scenes with Blue

So how come you've got back together after four years apart?
Duncan: We were offered silly money to do some gigs, and there is a recession on after all.

Are you planning to celebrate the reunion with some bad behaviour?
Antony: I've always been a good boy. I've never even slept with a fan!
Lee: No more wild days for me. I've got my six-month-old son Rayn now. I don't want him growing up thinking I'm into drugs, sex and the whole rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

But there must be a few notches on the Blue bedpost. Lee and Simon, are your ladies worried?
Lee: Like any woman would be but she hasn't got anything to worry about. I'd never do anything to jeopardise our relationship.
Simon: No. My girlfriend Layla [singer Layla Manoochehri, 23] is very secure about herself and that's why I'm with her. She doesn't need me, she wants to be with me.

Ah, bless. You're properly loved-up, aren't you?
Simon: Yeah. I never thought love like this was possible and, after four years together, I still fancy the pants off her. I can't wait to go home to her every night.

Ant and Duncan, you're single. Are you hungry for love?
Antony: Oh yeah. I'd like to be married within two years.
Duncan: I'm not looking for it, but if love comes my way, then great.

So Ant, who's your dream girl?
Eva Mendes. If I could see anyone naked it would be her. Or the Hollyoaks girls.

And what's your preference - bum, legs or boobs?
Antony: Bum, but I love girls with long legs wearing a pair of killer heels.
Lee: Boobs. Big Boobs. My missus has them but don't print that, she'll kill me! [Oops, sorry Lee!]

You're invisible for a day, what do you do?
Duncan: Sneak into Angelina and Brad's house and watch them making out. They're a sexy couple. That would be so hot.
Lee: Go into the government archive of conspiracy theories and have a look.
Antony: I'd find out whether the Queen watches EastEnders!
Simon: Walk around Parliament. I want to know if MPs really have posh accents or if they just put them on.

If you had to date another Blue member, who would you pick?
Duncan: We'd all have a big old group orgy. And no, it's not happened before!
Simon: I'm never so desperate for sex that I'd consider doing that. I can satisfy myself!
Lee: Me.
Antony: All of them, they've all got nice little traits.

Who's the most famous person in your mobile phone?
Lee: Elton John, even though I don't speak to him any more. I text him sometimes, but he never replies! My fiancée cringes when I do.
Duncan: Rita Simons from EastEnders [who plays Roxy Slater] or Geri Halliwell.
Antony: Declan Donnelly from when I was on Saturday Night Takeaway.
Simon: Will Smith. I've also had dinner with Michael Jackson. I met him through friends - it was a bit surreal.

Talking of surreal, Lee, tell everyone about the odd dreams that you have...
I've had night terrors for years, where I'll wake up hallucinating and hearing voices. It still happens sometimes, but when I hear voices now, I just tell them to go away.

"Duncan has to be the most 2 faced bloke to walk this earth - he'd said when they split I'll get back together with them when hell freezes over"

Jennie, i think u will find that was the "eagles" that said about hell freezes over, so get ur "music band info" correct b4 posting!!!

Glad to see Blue back, they sound and look great and for Keiths info, shadows touring in September !!

By Jan. Posted June 16 2009 at 9:51 PM.

The boys were good as a group. But they soon got very big-headed (despite having very limited success even as a band) to branch out to their 'individual solo careers'....that led to nowhere these last few years. So, what choice do they have but to re-group?

This isn't rocket science.

If anyone was offered that much cash then they would grab it with both hands. Most of them have partners and children so of course you would get back togeather the cash will come in great for your childrens future. Lee ryan has an amazing voice live anyone who says he cant sing really must be death!! The others can sing but its nothing special just like every other pop band out there its all messed with to make it sound good. Plus most men on this planet aint as hot as them!!! They can only dream about all the sexy girls,fast cars,vip partys,10,000 outfits (every mans dream really)so thats why guys get jelouse o and if there girlfriend thinks there another man is hot. Look at the musles on that simon everyman worse nightmear if he has a beer belly haha.

Glad to see the boys back: about time!

By Shel. Posted June 14 2009 at 9:21 PM.

They never had any talent 1st time round, why oh why do they think they're going to be any better this time?
Duncan has to be the most 2 faced bloke to walk this earth - he'd said when they split I'll get back together with them when hell freezes over" LOL I know there's global warming and all that but....

By Jennie. Posted June 14 2009 at 2:52 PM.

I am soooo glad they are back! They were excellent back in the day and I am sure they will be even better now!!!

Funny how it's only the men above who are slating the boys! hhhmmmm touch of the green eyed monster me thinks!!!!!!

By Lindsay. Posted June 14 2009 at 11:37 AM.

I'm so glad they are back!! they look so hot!! omg!! they should come to Peru aytime soon!! love ya BLUE!

By Cynthia. Posted June 14 2009 at 10:47 AM.

Please go away. Whoever offered them this "silly money" you did it. You are to blame. They were all content to spend the rest of their lives as has beens on reality TV. Why, did they have to come back? WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Rueben. Posted June 14 2009 at 2:58 AM.

"And looking better than ever ! "
er... they are supposed to sound good, and the sad fact is they never did in the first place. What next ? The return of The Shadows ? Please.
