Ex-Busted boy Matt Willis is a bona-fide celebrity now, but just how far would he go to get fame if he didn't already have it? Wait for it...

TOTP: First off, would you have ever considered becoming a holiday camp entertainer?
Matt: Red coat? I'd be a Haven-mate! I used to go to Haven holiday camps when I was a kid and I really respected the Haven-mates, they were cool, man! My brother was a red coat. So yeah, I probably would be one.
TOTP: Do you have a particular party trick or an impression you could do to impress the punters?
Matt: I don't have any impressions or anything. Erm, what can I do - Nothing! Other than singing I'm pretty rubbish at everything else! I guess I'd sing show tunes or something.

TOTP: How about going on a reality show?
Matt: I'd personally never do that. Saying that, Busted did that America Or Busted thing and I kind of learnt my lesson from that. I'm kind of getting filmed at the moment, people keep following me around with video cameras – I don't really know what it's for – it hasn't been quite explained! But yeah, never say never. I'd never go on Celebrity Big Brother or Love Island or Trust Me I'm A Holiday Rep – although I love that show!
TOTP: Did you get to see any of The Farm?
Matt: No, but Vanilla Ice was on it apparently which is cool.
TOTP: Did you hear about Rebecca Loos and the whole pig incident?
Matt: Yeah, that's just wierd isn't it. Urghhhhh! How weird's that!
A pig

TOTP: How about streaking at a major sporting event?
Matt: No one wants to see me with my clothes off – it's not a very pretty sight! So no, I wouldn't ever streak.
TOTP: Even if you had a point to make or a cause to fight for?
Matt: I'm not proud enough of my manhood to do that! No, no, no I'd never streak!

TOTP: Would you ever do a kiss and tell with a celeb and then sell your story to the tabloids?
Matt: D'ya know what man, I've never had a kiss and tell done to me, never. But I'm going to try and get someone to do one – make me sound like I was wicked!

TOTP: Have you ever worried that someone might do a kiss and tell on you? Matt: Not really. My last girlfriend, she wouldn't – and I've got a girlfriend now. I'm not really a one night stand kind of guy – I'm a relationship boy.
TOTP: Is there anyone you'd choose to do one with? Anyone you like? Your girlfriend? Matt: No, I wouldn't be that horrible to Emma. I'm trying to think of someone.

TOTP: Anyone you'd like to get back at, seek revenge on?
Matt: You know I'm getting really calm in my old age! I don't hate anyone anymore. I'm pretty chilled out these days, no one really pisses me off. Anyway, there's too many kiss and tells about Charlotte Church, bless her. She deserves a bit of a break and a nice man I think – she's got Gavin wotshisname and she seems happy enough. If he does one that'll just be unbelievable!

TOTP: Would you consider hospital radio, and if so what would be the first and last songs that you'd play to the patients?
Matt: The first record of the day would be Jump by Van Halen – an amazing song. And at the end of the day I'd put Mr Blue Sky by ELO [starts to sing it]. It'd be a cheesy '80s set.

TOTP: How about getting famous by working your way into a social elite, IT girls and the like?
Matt: I'm not cool enough for them – I'm too much of a geek – I'm too stupid. They're quite cool those people; well they think they are. I'm a bit too immature for them.
Paris

TOTP: Finally how about marrying into wealth and riches?
Matt: Yeah, yeah, I'd love to. TOTP: Anyone in particular? Matt: Isn't Lady Isabella Hervey really rich? Alright, well I'd marry into her!
