Hollyoaks Music Show

You got to number one with 'Now You're Gone' in 2008 – what did you do to celebrate? I've heard some wacky stories...

Well, there's always a lot of wacky stories when it comes to me and my celebrations and parties. I actually celebrated 'Now You're Gone' getting to number one by playing computer games and drinking loads of Coca-Cola and eating loads of crisps like the good old days. Then I probably went out and got s***-faced, etc!

I heard you were going to bungee jump if you got to number one again...

Yeah, that's the thing. If 'All I Ever Wanted' got to number one I said I was going to bungee jump in a pink bunny suit, but I didn't get to number one. That didn't really bother me though because I wanted to do it anyway. I found somewhere to bungee jump, but I couldn't find a pink bunny suit, so now I'm going to buy a pink bunny suit and keep it in my luggage at all times. It doesn't matter if I get to number one or not, I'll just do it! I owe that to my fans! I always encourage my fans to send me their ideas and weird situations they'd like to see me in. I'm open for situation unless it involves naked hairy women – that doesn't do it for me.

What will you do if 'I Promised Myself' got to number one?

Maybe I will just have a normal party for once and invite family and people I work with. Just hire a place out and just have a good party with lots of toasts... not beans on toast. I do eat beans on toast sometime, but there's always a lot of flammable gas that comes out and someone's at the risk of dying.

Are you one for farting?

Oh yes! Silent, but deadly.

Can you explain to our readers out there about Aylar, the woman who appears in your videos?

Oh yeah! She's amazing in bed... just kidding. Basically, a lot of people are wondering if we are together or if we're dating, but if I was seeing Aylar I think her boyfriend would kill me! He's quite big, so I don't want to make him angry. Me and Aylar are good friends and she's very spontaneous and funny and easy to work with and that's the reason why she's still in the music videos. She's part of the reason why we've kept up with the continuing story across the music videos because she's amazing to work with.

Aylar's with her old boyfriend at the end of 'I Promise Myself'. What the beejeebus is going on, Bass?

There's a lot of drama! At the end of 'Every Morning' we didn't know if Aylar was dead or was shark food or whatever, then at the end of 'I Promise Myself' I know she's alive, but the first thing I see when I get to the hospital is that idiot, her ex-boyfriend, at her bedside. I'm curious to find out what's going to happen next because I don't know either.

You recently toured with 'donk' pioneers The Blackout Crew. What was that like?

They were great guys and I love the donk music. I'm doing a couple of donk songs at the moment, so we'll see how that goes. I want to know beforehand though what my fans think of me doing donk music. It's a funny style to work on because it's not as complicated to work with as my own music. In donk music you keep everything simple.

I've read that you were abducted when you were three years old. Care to explain?

I probably said that after doing interviews for ten hours. I go a bit crazy at the end of interviews. I like sci-fi and I do believe in aliens, though I've never met one personally. I used to say that if I died I wanted to die by getting slaughtered by aliens!

We all know you like the ladies, but which Hollyoaks girls float your boat?

Well, I like Cindy. She's hot! She has a very lovely smile. She borrowed my hairspray.

You're from Sweden like Agnes who's appeared on the music show. Do you know her? Would you like to know her?

I've met her a few times and we've shared a stage a few times too. I don't know her that well, but I know she deserves all the success she can get because I know what she's been through. She's one of the few winners from Swedish Pop Idol that truly has talent.
