Which member of FIVE has their birthday on November 22nd?
Scott. We were on Smash Hits Tour last year on Scott's 18th birthday.
Correct!
What are the names of Rich's big brother and sister?
Oh, don't! Will and...I don't know about his sister! I met her for the first time the other day. He calls his brother by a nickname, but I can't remember it. Sorry, no points.
Their names are David and Tracey!
Who once said: "I think I'm quite a sexy person, but it's not a conscious thing"?
(Horrified) What?! Can I take a guess? OK, I'll go for Scott...no, Rich!
It was Rich, but we have to take the first answer!
Who recently said they'd like to get up to ruderies in a Marks & Spencer ladies' dressing room?
J.
One easy point in the bank.
What are Scott's middle names?
(Instantly) Tim and James Yes!
Actually, it's James then Tim, but what the hey!
RITCHIE
What is J's date of birth?
Ooh, I've got it in my Filofax. Am I not allowed to look? (No.) Umm, it really doesn't spring to mind. I know he's a Gemini and his birthday's coming up in the next few months.
Not good enough! The answer is June 13, 1976
What does J wear in bed?
Boxer shorts? He says that sometimes he doesn't wear a thing. But I've never seen him...
'Fraid we have to go with J's answer. No points!

Correct!
Which barmy bloke once said: "I used to tip spaghetti over my head when I didn't want to eat it"?
J
Right again!
Which character does Abs' girlfriend Danielle play in Hollyoaks?
She's called Gina. I don't know her surname, though.
Gina's good enough for us. One point.
SEAN
When is ABs's birthday?
Erm, June or April. I think J's is June 13. Scott's is in November 'cos he's a Scorpio. Erm...(thinks hard for a bit) I don't know when Rich's is... Sorry, mate, too vague.
Abs' birthday is June 29.
Name Scott's sisters...
Hang on, let me think...Nicola and ????. Have I got one right? Scott, Nicola and ... (Smash Hits gives him the answer.)
Oh yeah. Half a mark. The answer is Nicola and Hayley.
Which FIVEster said: "People say I'm the best-looking band member, but I don't think I am. If I was a girl, I'd go for J"?
Rich.
No probs - one point.
What is Abs' middle name?
Abidin.
Correct.

Good guess! Another point.
