Now they're big celebs, we asked the 'Chain about their fancy lifestyle, and we get some answers... of some kind.

TOTP: Since becoming famous have any of you had any offers to appear naked in any magazines?
P Xain: Funny you should mention that, Keith, because yes, someone did come up with an offer for Mystikal to pose naked in a magazine. But he scares the children so he didn't do it.

TOTP: What magazine was it?
Maggot: Marie Claire or summat...
Eggsy: Family Circle I think.
P Xain: No it was Athena.

TOTP: Did any of the rest of you guys feel jealous at all at the fact that he got an offer?
P Xain: I felt terribly ripped off that he never got to do it in the end. I was quite relieved that it was someone else. It was going to be a great experience for him like a coming of age.

TOTP: Mystikal, would you have hired a personal trainer to prepare for it?
Mystikal: Er no!
P Xain: What are you trying to say? You trying to say he's out of shape?

TOTP: Er... Would any of you consider appearing on Celebrity Love Island or I'm A celebrity...?
Billy Webb: Well it's funny you should mention that because I was on there. Naa, I wasn't really, I'm only jokin'.
P Xain: I think that if opportunities arise you've got to stare them in the face and laugh. Or walk away from them. Walk away crying tears of blood just going "No no, why me, why me? It's always me, No one cares. No one gives a **** anymore," and then just go home.
Billy Webb: You've got to be a good cryer to go on them shows.
P Xain: The thing is, there was a point where we were gonna put Mikey on Celebrity Big Brother, but I don't think he could survive without... 'the basics'.
TOTP: Why not do your own version?
Eggsy: Mike's house with CCTV...
Mike: Yeah why not. I've got nothing to be afraid of.
Billy Webb: I've got a front window I use. I just open the curtains. And it saves on the electric.

TOTP: OK, and if you went on Celebrity Love Island, who would you want to be there?
Eggsy: Nina Hossain from ITV news, I'd go on a desert Island with her. I'd keep the tapes though.
TOTP: Recently divorced apparently...
P Xain: Fantastic news!
Eggsy: No, really? You know too much. you're a fan as well aren't you?
TOTP: So, Nina Hossain. Is that the group consensus?
Billy Webb: Not Nana Hussain, Nina Hossain.
Adam Hussain: I won't let anyone near my Grandmother and that's the end of it.
Nina

TOTP: So how much would you sell your wedding photos to OK! for?
P Xain: I'm not married! I can't help you there, sorry.
Maggot: As much as I could get for them I think.
Billy Webb: The thing is, if I was the missus, I'd be traumatised. Selling photos of the wedding? special day? I'd keep the photos and put 'em on my wall.

TOTP: Would you ever sack your stylist after appearing in a worst dressed section?
Billy Webb: I want a sky dish. You get all the channels.
TOTP: Huh? Ah OK. And you'd let the dish tell you what to wear?
Eggsy: There is Penny and Susanna or whatever they're called.
P Xain: The thing is, do they still do Saved By The Bell? You see now, I would get a sky dish if they still showed that. I've only got four channels, well three if you don't count S4C.
Trinny Maggot: Well I get six cos I get S4C and Channel four and channel five.
Mystikal: Just get a decent arial.
Billy Webb: I get West, not happy about that.
TOTP: So basically, there's a wealth of style info on the telly is that what you're saying?
Eggsy: Yeah, you just press red and it's all there.
P Xain: Ceefax. You're talking Ceefax now aren't you?

TOTP: Have any of you had or considered having plastic surgery?
Billy Webb: Yes! I had my... y'know... re-grafted on.
TOTP: I don't need to see it! I just need to hear about it.
P Xain: He'll show it you.
Adam: I did get bitten by a dog when I was a kid and [points to shoulder] all that was done, but you can't see it now. Cos that is plastic. It's fine now.
Mystikal: It looks a bit gammy.
Adam: It's not plastic, it's a fake shoulder.
P Xain: It's so annoying, cos you go to America and it's like, 'there's something in my arm', and they think it's a bomb or something.
Mystikal: Did you ever get the pin taken out?
Adam: It's not a pin, it's like a hinge with a bit of fake bone around the middle.

TOTP: Yes. Right. Er, would you consider dating a footballer to raise your profile?
Eggsy: Trina Gulliver. Women's darts champion! She's amazing!
Billy Webb: I'm not into footballers. I mainly prefer women personally.
Eggsy: That's why I picked Trina Gulliver.
Trina

TOTP: Sigh... What goes into the GLC diet?
P Xain: We're thinking of opening a restaurant called GLC Gastrol GTX, and you have a deep fat fryer, you fill it full of Castrol GTX and you leave it there for two years cooking one sausage in it and then afterwards you just cook loads of food in it. Amazing!
Mystikal: But you've gotta leave it to simmer...

TOTP: So would you ever pose as arm candy for any famous US actress?
Eggsy: Nina Hossain if she was American...
TOTP: No, a US actress...
P Xain: Gordon Burns! What was the question again?
TOTP: Never mind...
