TW on Daybreak ♥

Best way to start your day....

watch the wanted on day break:

THE Wanted urged their fans to not only vote for THEM to win big at the Brit Awards but to also support Corrie at the National Television Awards.

The Wanted joined Christine Bleakley and Andrew Chiles on the Daybreak sofa this morning to talk milk and music.

But before long the conversation turned to Max George’s new girlfriend and National Television Awards-nominated Coronation Street actress, Michelle Keegan.

Max said: “She’s a the NTAs tonight so good luck to Corrie. So vote Corrie!”

The boys – who spent the interview caressing dog Thumper -also took part in a ‘teet test’, where they had to taste buffalo, cow and soya milk.

Jay, who was described as the Harry Styles of the band wasn’t entirely happy with the beverage he was handed though.

He described his drink as tasting “like wallpaper paste.”

The Wanted on Daybreak... ♥

The wanted will be appearing on Daybreak at around 7.50am on Wednesday morning.

They will be interviewed by adrian chiles and christine bleakley *bleeeeughh, Kate & dan are much better.*

The five-some will be talking Brits, Girlfriends and chart success, Make sure you tune in!

Five Days of Christmas:Day Five - Siva ♥

Finally, its Kaneswaran:

What’s been your best moment this year?

The Childline gig that we just did – it was at home in Ireland. It was the first time we'd played in front of an Irish audience and it just felt so good to be home. My family went mental. 

What are you most looking forward to about next year?

Definitely the tour. We’ve all got surprises for each other on the tour. We'll be doing lots of pranks.

OK.co.uk: Will you be implementing JLS's policy of no sleeping? 

Siva: Nathan’d be doomed if we did that because he sleeps all the time. 

What's the best thing a fan has done for you?

I got given an Irish jersey on stage. I went to the airport before I got home and was looking for the Irish jersey and I couldn’t find one anywhere but when I went up on stage and said hello to the Irish fans two of them (Lauren and another Lauren) threw me a jersey with Siva on the back and TW5 so I wore it at the end. 

Who will you be kissing under the mistletoe?

My girlfriend. 

The rest of The Wanted: Oh come on don’t be so boring

Siva: Ok, Jay’s mum Maureen because she likes me. 

What's on your Christmas list?

I don’t really want anything. I’m really happy. All I need is family that’s all that matters.

Would you do a naked photo shoot?

Yes and put Jay in the front. 

Boxers, briefs or none?

Boxers please. 

Name something we don’t know about you?

I’ve got a beauty spot on my bottom lip. I’ve got a hairline fracture in my right knee cap from when I was a kid and fell over on tiles. And I was hit in the face by an elephant’s trunk. My brother used to work at a zoo and feed all the animals and he wacked me because I fed him a potato. 

Five Days of Christmas:Day Four - Max ♥

Interview with max:

What's been the best moment of year?

Doing the MEN arena just because it’s my home town. 

What are you most looking forward to about 2011?

That would have to be our tour. Because that’s the one thing that we’ve all wanted to do since the start and I think it’s something that everyone looks forward to doing. We’re doing our home towns and it’s just us and they’re there to see us. Normally we’re jumping on the bandwagon of a gig that’s for loads of people so it’ll be nice just to have our own fans. And we get to sing songs off our album that we’ve never sung before. We’ve got some good ideas.

What's the best thing a fan has done for you?

Someone on my birthday bought me a City shirt with Max 22 on the back.

Who will you be kissing under the mistletoe?

Siva’s mum.

What's on your Xmas list?

This year just being at home is first and foremost. We’ve got 10 days off. Whatever presents I get are just an added bonus. I just make sure I get down to the White Horse on Christmas day. I tell you what, my Christmas wish is that my granddad is at the pub because he’s had a bit of a rough year. If he’s there that will make it. 

Would you do a naked photo shoot?

Don’t see why not if it was for the right cause, yeah. If there was the right reason for it then definitely because it’s good fun. We could just show our bodies without working out and say TW are just normal, average lads.

Boxers, briefs or none?

I won’t pull these down (goes to adjust his trousers) because none (laughs). Nah boxers. When you have Y-fronts on everything touches. I never even wore them as a kid swimming, I always wore shorts. 

Name one thing we don’t know about you?

I was almost blind in my right eye when I was four because I’ve got a disease in my eye. My eyesight in my right eye is shot to sh**t. 

For tom, jay, and nathans interviews...scroll down the blog,

come back tomorrow for the final interview: Siva!

Five Days of Christmas:Day three - Jay♥

Interview with Jay:

What's been the best moment of the year?

My birthday because we were at Leeds and there were 88,000 people there and they sung Happy Birthday to me. 

What are you most looking forward to about 2011?

Our tour! We had a talk yesterday about what it’s going to be like and Max had a bit of a theme and they took it and made it huge. We can’t wait to get into training and everything. 

OK.co.uk: Can you give us a clue what to expect? 

Jay: Springing – something to do with springing. 

Nathan: we’re jumping around the set.

What's the best thing a fan has done for you?

A fan called Jodie bought me an Avatar frame with some actual cut-outs of the reel. I don’t know how much it cost her. It was amazing. 

Who will you be kissing under the mistletoe?

Max’s mum. Or Siva’s sister. She was in Girls Aloud when they were formed but then she was pregnant and got booted. She’s famous in Ireland and she’s pretty hot.

What's on your Xmas list?

A new tank for my lizard because she’s a little bit big now and I want to get her a bigger one.

Would you ever do a naked photo shoot?

Yes! We’ve done one and we’ll probably have to do more in the future and we won’t say no, we’ll just do it.

Boxers, briefs or none?

Boxers. In bed it depends on the temperature. Never Y-fronts though. 

Name one thing we don’t know about you?

The boys think I look like Susan Boyle. I’m veggie, left-handed and a twin. As a kid I wanted to be an explorer but I didn’t know how you do that. Plus in the UK everyone knows where everything is, there’s nothing to explore. Also – when I was doing the audition for the band I was doing loads of auditions and I did one for a circus - to do the weird clown-type characters. 

Five Days of Christmas:Day One - Nathan ♥

Posted on the internet 3 minutes ago, and oh look, its here already, im good to you lot right?

Heres an interview from OK, with Nathan, over the next 4 days and interview with each member of the wanted is coming, so make sure you head over here each day for your TW fix over the festive season.

What's been your highlight of the past year?

Getting number one.

What are you most looking forward to about 2011?

Getting into a club legally.

What's the best thing a fan has ever done for you?

One fan made a book. It had 100 pages and loads of different fans had writen messages to me and they gave it to me on my birthday.

Who will you be kissing under the mistletoe?

Hopefully Miley Cyrus but it’s never going to happen.

What’s on your Xmas list?

Miley Cyrus.

Would you ever do a naked photo shoot?

No because I’d just embarrass myself. When we’ve previously done ones like that I hid at the back. Behind a wall. I'd just embarrass myself. So probably not.

Boxers, briefs or none?

Boxers. But depends who I’m with because otherwise it would be none. 

Name one thing we don’t know about you?

I kissed Britney Spears when I was eight years old. There’s video evidence. I’ve got a pet snake as well called Charlie.

If you had to have a member of The Wanted on a poster above your bed, which would it be?

My sister has one of Siva so I’d pick him so I wouldn’t have to buy it. Actually if I did have one of Jay it would be hilarious to wake up to just to look at him because he’d probably be pulling a silly face. 

(Jay: I pull very attractive faces I’ll have you know).

FF interview with jay! ♥

'Female First' did an interview with jay....

The new single Lose Your Mind is out on December 26, so tell us about it, what can we expect?

It's another upbeat one it's about when somebody is playing mind games with you and your just getting sick of it and you just want to get them out of your head. It's a bit more of an angrier rockier one. And the video is set in a fairground in New York. But we've been told it looks like Brighton, so that's pretty cool.  It's a pretty cool video. We did the X Factor and we did a bit of a fairground theme on that as well and that's why.

How come you're not vying for the Christmas number one?

Because I think we'd get battered, there are loads of American artists and X Factor contestants I think we just kept well out of the way.

Who would you like to see get the Christmas number one?

I don't actually know who's in the running I know the X Factor person will be.

Jedward are going for it aswell...

Well I'm sure they'll get it. Oh you know what I think might win; you know the silent one, the charity one. I think that's a really interesting idea so possibly that one. Even though it'd be a bit weird on TV if every half an hour they said 'and the Christmas number one is' and then it just goes quiet.

So you were on the X Factor a few weeks ago, how did you find it?

You know what it is with us as well any TV we get nervous because with the crowd you just sing your head off but with TV when you do sing if you get it wrong and someone's watching your face as you sing wrong it's really noticeable. We had to try and look polished instead of quite rough how we normally look. So we upped the production and there were loads of rehearsals. We enjoyed the day it was really fun. Nerves were on edge all day.

Do you think if you'd have been in this show this year against One Direction you could have won it?

I don't really know. It depends what people like, some people really capture the nation and some people no matter how hard they try they don't. That Tracey girl I thought she was quite good but there was just something about her you just didn't really care about. I don't know if we'd be one of the connectors or the boring ones.

Didn't the band get put together in the first place in a similar kind of process?

Yeah, really really similar. It was just all behind closed doors so a year and 3 months ago was when we first came together. The audition before that was about nine months long and I think it was about maybe couple of thousand people. It was pretty intense and towards the end it got really intense. There was a horrible time when us five went to a meeting and they said we think you're the five now so all you go home blah blah tell your families and whatever. And then they rung us again and said they wanted to carry on auditioning and we arrived to audition there were 12 people again so we had to go through another set of rounds, we were gutted, but in the end they stuck with us five.

You've come so far in the past year, is it crazy to think that this time last year you could walk down the street and everything would be completely fine?

It is weird because it feels weird for us because we did it for the about six months we did schools and clubs and stuff and nothing happened and our numbers on Facebook went up but that doesn't really mean anything to us because we hadn't released anything so weren't earning any money at all just getting more into debt. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun as well, but then suddenly we we're released and everyone who had seen us or whatever bought the single. And suddenly overnight all five of us who'd been sort of mooching around not really knowing where it was going were like this has turned massive. It's weird but it's what you hoped for all along it's amazing.

What's it like when you're driving round and you see your faces on big billboards?

Amazing whenever we come on the radio we're like yes, come on.

Has there been one thing over the past year that has stood out more than the rest?

There have literally been so many things like that. This happened to me on my own I've talked about it all year. One of the things I'll always remember is on my birthday we did Midlands's festival. There was 88,000 people there and they sung happy birthday to me. And I literally just looked round and I just seen faces until the faces turned into little pink blobs. And I was like everyone's singing me happy birthday, and I don't think this will ever happen again. It was amazing.

Do you think being put into the media spot light and having all this fame and fortune has changed you as a person?

No, not at all. Do you know what it is I think it just changes the way people view you. Before if you got stroppy and mardy everyone was like 'okay well something's wrong' a lot of the time now if you get angry everyone's like 'ooooooh you're a diva, who do you think you are'. So you've just got to be more like calm in the way you put things across when you get annoyed now that's the only thing.

It must be so tense to go from just singing in auditions to having screaming girls everywhere?

Yeah it is weird, what's weird as well is that we did a school tour and some schools just because they were cute schools went crazy but a lot of them just stared at us like sleepy silent. And so many clubs were they had to clear the dance floor and they we're like 'who the hell are you?'  But now you get messages off people saying 'oh I saw you at my school' or 'you came to this club' and you think well you should have bloody cheered then.  But now they've seen you before you got big and they've seen you when you were struggling and they know you've worked for it a little bit you didn't just sort of crop up and get everything on a plate.

So how have you coped with all the girls screaming everywhere you go?

I don't really know. You say how do you cope with this but I don't know how you not cope.  I don't imagine that someone would like roll up into a ball and be like 'it's too much fun', we just laugh about it. The first few times, the way it works is if something goes wrong then they up the ante so when we first started getting big crowds none really noticed and we'd fight our way through hundreds of people and it was manic. And then they got security and then they got more than that and now we have a team around us. Literally the first few times we'd see the crowd out there and it was like we used to have 20 people and then 50 people and now it's a hundred so we'd just go out and it'll all be calm and we'll sign stuff ask them about their mum and it'll b fine. But literally you go out and one of them cries and then ten others scream and then they all cram around you. And there we're a few times when I thought I don't know if I'm literally going to escape now I don't know if I'll leave this alive or with all my clothes on. But it was fun.

So are you aiming for going out with say Hayley from Paramore rather than a fan?

Ha good shout I really do like her as well! Well I think you just meet someone and whatever you like you like and whatever they do even if their famous or not but I don't really have a preference. But I see why people go for famous people because it kind of eliminates the whole are you going to sell a story. But there's something nice about talking to someone who's just in an office and can have a laugh about a stapler as opposed to 'oh yeah and then 20,000 people came and I was like ohh yeahhh'. Someone who talks about stuff you remember from back in the day.

So we're featuring your band in our top moments of 2010 and our Ones to Watch for next year and All Time Low is going to be one of our top singles of 2010. So do you think you'll be able to replicate that success over the next year and still be in our charts next year?

Well I'm hoping yes and we're going to keep on putting the hard work in but I think this time round it won't be easier but because we've got a little bit of status now, like some people know who we are, the crowds won't be so hard to win over like we'll have that hardcore group of fans who are going to sort us out. We're getting better all the time we're going to go to the studio soon and start writing stuff for the next album and then later do 2 weeks in like a mystery house and we're going to get co-writers in just to try and spice it up a little bit. So I just think the quality's just going to get better and better and hopefully that means that people are going to keep on coming back for more.

And you've got your headline tour next year...

Yeah that is literally I can't tell you how excited we are for that it's going to be amazing.

Who have you got supporting, do you know yet?

We don't know yet but we've had a few people that have been kicking around we really like all of them there's, you know Ed Drewett, he kind of really wants to do it and we all really want him to do it as well. So it's down to his management and our management now. There are a few other up and coming McFly type bands that we really like. So everyone we've heard about we like so far.

Three quick questions...

What's your favourite single of 2010?

My favourite single this year would be Labrinth, Let The Sun Shine.

Worst single of 2010?

Can I confer with the lads...Katie Price, Free to Love.

And finally...what two pop stars would you like to see falling in love next year?

I would like Cheryl Cole and Will.I.Am, I think they could be like the new Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Interview with siva! ♥

Are things starting to quieten down now for you guys in the run-up to Christmas?

"It's actually starting to quieten down a bit. We're just doing a little bit of dabbling with TV appearances and some not so heavy-duty work. We're not travelling far - just doing little gigs here and there. We were supposed to have three days off at Christmas but then they extended it to ten days. Time to party!"

How will you be spending Christmas?

"Heading home to Ireland and going out with a few mates that I haven't seen in a long time. I'll get in front of a nice warm fire, have the Irish stew, watch old family videos... you know how it is. Then go out and get plastered."

You performed on The X Factor a few weeks back. How was that?

"It didn't feel big because the studio's quite small. Our performance flew by - it felt like just a few seconds. We weren't nervous and we said to each other, 'Let's just do it and enjoy ourselves when we go on'. A few days later, we went to Ireland and did our first Dublin gig. I was shaking like a leaf! There were ten family members there and 16,000 Irish fans. I was more nervous with those 16,000 fans than I was with The X Factor, which was seen by 16 million!"

I guess you had more to think about with The X Factor too, with dodgems flying around...

"That's so funny you say that because when I got off stage, I realised I didn't look at any of the judges' faces when I was performing. I was just thinking 'OK, move left, step back, get on the dodgem, push the dodgem...'"

I imagine you guys have met Simon a few times now?

"Yeah yeah, we met him when we did The Xtra Factor and just before we went on the main show. He said, 'Good luck boys and do your best!'. We were like, 'Oooh, OK Simon! Just don't wax the floor or something and sabotage us.'"

You were on the same week as Justin Bieber. Did you get to meet him?

"Yeah, when we left. He was very quiet though - it was like he was thinking about something else. He just said, 'Good performance, nice to see you' and walked off. It was a weird situation because he had loads of bouncers around him. Then I said hello to Nicole Scherzinger but I got shunned by her bodyguards within the first six seconds - absolutely shunned."

Did you get a reaction out of her?

"She said, 'Hey', but the bodyguards got in front of me. I was confronted by a wall of muscle."

Are you disappointed that the X Factor performance didn't lift 'Lose My Mind' towards the top of the chart?

"No, because it shot up 40 places on iTunes. We're very happy with the sales figures so far. Even just to be asked to be on The X Factor, well, all it can do for us is good things."

Was Matt Cardle the right winner?

"I'm very happy with Matt winning. If any of those top three had won I would have been chuffed because they're all good performers. I haven't heard Matt's single yet, because we were at our stylist's surprise birthday party on the night of the final. There was no TV there, so I was getting info from friends on the phone. I'll have to check it out on YouTube. I've heard One Direction's song though and I thought it was mint."

You recently announced a tour for next Spring. What sort of show can we expect?

"You can expect a lot of wacky shows. We've had some big discussions with management and there's going to be a running theme to it. Let's just say we will be brought into action."

Is it a funfair theme?

"Mmmm, possibly. We want to entertain and put as much of us into the performance as we can."

You've also signed a deal in the US. What can you tell us about that?

"We went over to San Francisco and LA to meet various people. They liked us, so we got signed to Def Jam in New York. We didn't have time to do anything then, so we're going to go over next year perhaps and hopefully try to release 'All Time Low'. That said, we're definitely going to work the UK and the fans here first before maybe having a dabble in America."

Do you think you might record some new tracks for the US?

"It's a possibility. We've lined up two weeks next year with all the producers and writers in a house and we're going to start working on the next album. We're just trying to hone our skills and get a new sound. We're not thinking of a specific new sound, but we'll just try to let it come naturally."

Jay tweeted that you'd been discussing dream collaborations. What was the verdict?

"We've been thinking about Labrinth because he's got a cool sound. He's quite inspiring to talk to as well, so we all agree on him. Oh, and Tinie Tempah too."

Will there be a fourth single from the album?

"I don't think so. I think there might be a new single from the next album coming after this. That said, if there is a fourth single, hopefully it'll be one of the ones we prefer. There's a track on our album called 'Golden' that we love personally, but it's a constant battle with the management and the record label. I think maybe we'll just move on and start on the second album. We're ready to start again and create a new sound."

I saw a YouTube video the other say where Jay asked you which male celebrity you would snog and you said George Clooney. Why George?

"Basically I was being asked all these really tedious questions and Jay was so bored that he made up that one himself! I was like 'You sly devil!' had to answer it though so I just thought, 'Who's the most handsome man out there that you can believe I would snog?' George Clooney, you know, it's reasonable. Every guy wants to be him and every woman wants to be with him. That was OK, wasn't it? Or maybe I should have said Alan Carr?!"

You've obviously had a very eventful year, but what stands out as a highlight?

"Two things... no, three.... hold on, four! Singing on a boat and sailing Loch Ness with the lads. Then doing Wembley when no-one knew us. Three, getting a number one. Four, doing the ireland gig. We've been constantly busy this year, but it's a pretty good problem to have!"
