TOTP: If you were squaring up against Simon Cowell on a show like The X Factor or American Idol, who would win the argument?
Nick: Oh boy! I think Simon's got much more practice at this than I do, so I'd have to give the edge to Simon.
TOTP: Would you have any good comebacks lined up if he was negative about you?
Nick: I think I'd just let him talk himself into a corner. He does that quite well.
TOTP: That's not a bad strategy, actually! How about if you were asked to be a guest judge on American Idol, would you do that?
Nick: I wouldn't do it, actually. The problem I have with that show is that these are real people with real dreams. Even if they're horribly pathetic singers, it's still meaningful to them and I don't really agree with chastising them and making fun of them for the sake of entertainment. So I wouldn't be a judge.

TOTP: On America's Next Top Model, they once asked a contestant to apologise to a hat that she'd apparently caused offence to. Do you feel that you need to apologise to any clothes that you've worn? For a really mismatched ensemble, perhaps?
Nick: I think I've certainly done some clothing injustices at times, hats included. I've never really felt the need to apologise, but there's some shame in some of the outfits I've constructed over the years.

TOTP: If you were asked to participate in some kind of variety show, do you have any hidden talents that you could wow us with?
Nick: Actually, all my talents have been exposed!
TOTP: You can't juggle or anything?
Nick: No, I don't juggle. It's a short list! I play the saxophone - not many people know that. I could whip that out of the closet.

TOTP: And we'll look forward to that! If you were to go on Celebrity Cooking Showdown, what would be your signature dish?
Nick: A mean angel-hair pasta with meat sauce.

TOTP: To take Survivor or Shipwrecked, if you were to be marooned on a desert island, what useful skills would you be able to bring to the table?
Nick: I was with the boy scouts, so I can definitely start a fire. construct a makeshift tent, I can swim, dive, fish...
TOTP: So you'd be fine, then?
Nick: Yeah. I'd win!
TOTP: What about strategy-wise. If the other contestants started forming alliances, do you think you'd be able to outwit them?
Nick: Well, equal to my talents in the wilderness are my people skills.
TOTP: So you'd be able to get everyone else on side?
Nick: The key is to turn them against each other, and then you just stay out of it.
TOTP: And wait for them to pick each other off.
Nick: Exactly, exactly. Stay out of the line of fire, just stay to the end and go all the way.

TOTP: Celebrity Big Brother, then. How would you cope if you were forced to live with a bunch of complete strangers for ten weeks?
Nick: Uh, we call that tour, actually! It's miserable! No, I like to think I'm pretty good with people, so whatever adversity comes with that, I think I can handle it.
TOTP: Do you have any annoying personal habits that would wind other people up?
Nick: Occasionally I pass gas. Other than that, no!
TOTP: What about other people - are there any personal habits that you can't stand in other people?
Nick: I'm not a big fan of people blowing their noses and leaving the tissues around, that's pretty gross. Or when they take their shoes off and their feet stink.

TOTP: If you were on a celebrity quiz show, what would be your specialist subjects?
Nick: I guess sports would probably be my forte. I'm big on geography.
TOTP: Is that from all the touring?
Nick: I'm kind of a map guy. I like to study maps. English would be my downfall, probably.

TOTP: On I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!, they had to parachute into the jungle. Could you do that?
Nick: I went skydiving once, so I have a little bit of experience with a parachute. I think I could do it.
TOTP: They're also asked to do tasks like being buried alive surrounded by bugs, or eating a kangaroo's testicle. Could you do that?
Nick: You know what? I guess if it was a life or death thing, I could pretty much suck up to anything, but I just don't see the enjoyment in that. It's not worth it.

TOTP: If you were to go on Celebrity Fear Factor, what are you scared of?
Nick: I'm horribly scared of sharks. I'm not big on rats.
TOTP: And is there anything that you could surprise us all with your bravery in the face of?
Nick: Hmm. I think I could pretty much rise to any challenge if I had to, if my back was against the wall.
TOTP: As long as it wasn't shark-related.
Nick: Yeah, even that. From a distance I've snorkelled with sharks, so even that I could manage. But I don't think I'd do it again!
TOTP: But you're generally willing to give things a go. We like that.
Nick: I'll try anything once, and then go from there. I think part of life is trying things and expanding your horizons, so yeah.
