If you want the skinny on streaking, you need to ask a boyband. FACT. We got US5 to oblige us...
TOTP: Which international event would you most like to streak at?
Jay: The Grammys!
Izzy: Wrestlemania.
Michael: Music awards.
Richie: Yeah, yeah, the Music awards, I'd say.
Jay: No, the Oscars.
TOTP: What personal message would you write on your body, and where would you write it?
Izzy: I'd write 'our album comes out on September 25th - buy it! And the single!'
Richie: 'Exit only' over my ass?
Jay: 'Take a peek'. I can't tell you where I'd write it.
Michael: Something about staring. Like, 'don't stare at me, talk to me'.
Chris: 'This is just what you see in the mirror every day'.
The others: Awww!
Richie: That's clever! Clever.
TOTP: Would you have any kind of accessories to wear while you were streaking? A cape, or a mask, perhaps?
Izzy: A cape? I dunno. I'd wear a championship belt around my waist.
Richie: Oh yeah you would!
Chris: I'd probably wear a mask so nobody could recognise me.
Richie: I definitely wouldn't be wearing my normal rosary. [Everyone laughs.] I know that much.
Jay: I'd probably have a piece of cloth just covering a certain part with a big Superman logo on it.
Michael: Uh...jeans. [Laughter.]
TOTP: When it comes to the actual event, would you do it on your own, or would you need people there with you?
Richie: I might need a team with me.
Jay: We'd only do it as a group.
Michael: Hey, I have a deja vu!
Richie: Really? Of being naked?
Michael: No, I'm serious. I'm just trying to say that he's going to say that...nah.
Jay: That's spooky. Yeah, no, we'd only do it as a group.
TOTP: Who would you be most concerned about seeing you naked?
Chris: Probably my mom.
Richie: Yeah, my mom.
Michael: My mom! [Banging on the table excitedly.] I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!
Jay: That's the second deja vu. Probably my mum too, I'd say.
Izzy: [sounding surprised] Nobody for me. No, I wouldn't care.
Jay: I wouldn't want my mum to see me streak.
TOTP: Turning that on its head, is there anyone you'd be quite happy to catch you streaking?
Chris: Maybe there's a female celebrity or something walking by? I dunno. Definitely not my teacher.
Richie: Paris Hilton, so she'd be like, "that's NOT hot". [Laughter.]
Jay: Eva Longoria or Sienna Miller.
Michael: Salma Hayek.
Izzy: Yeah, any pretty girl.
TOTP: What
about in preparation for the event - do you make any changes to your
routine? Dieting, exercise, cut your hair, maybe some waxing...?
Richie: Go on a diet!
Chris: For sure. Just make sure it's not a cold day, that's the only preparation I'd have!
Richie: I'd prepare my 'bits' (we changed this bit - bashful Ed).
[Slight pause, before everyone bursts into surprised laughter.]
Richie: I'd just make sure everything was in place, looking right...
Izzy: Would you use glue?
Richie: No, I wouldn't use glue...
Jay: [trying to steer the conversation back on course] I'd shave and go tanning.
[Pause.]
Richie: Are you embarrassed, Izzy?
Izzy: Yeah, you guys are getting pretty vulgar. I wouldn't even go that far.
TOTP: ...OK. Would you be willing to hurdle anything while naked?
Izzy: [grinning]A barbed-wire fence.
Chris: I'd hurdle over a crowd of people.
Richie: Haha! "Watch out, Richie's coming through!"
Jay: I don't really know.
TOTP: You could do another party piece if you preferred - perhaps a forward roll or some gymnastics?
Izzy: I'd do a backflip, a bunch of backflips.
Richie: I'd be doing some somersaults, maybe.
Chris: I can do the chicken dance.
Jay: I'd be doing the choreography to our new single 'Maria'.
TOTP: Plug plug! Would you be worried about doing yourself an injustice if it was cold?
Izzy: If it was cold? Wear socks and gloves.
Chris: I'd definitely cover my nipples.
Jay: I'd cover my throat - that's the most delicate. The chest/throat area, and then I'd be fine.

TOTP: Do you have any tactics for avoiding the police when they eventually turn up?
Chris: Run right into the crowd. Just run right into that heavy crowd area! Hide out there.
Michael: Just give them some money.
Izzy: Start peeing when they run at you, so that way they won't wanna touch you!
Richie: There you go!
TOTP: What
position would you most like to be carried off in? You could have one
person taking each of your limbs, or a fireman's lift...
Richie: Wait, while you're still naked?
TOTP: Yes. They may possibly have thrown a blanket over you by this point.
Chris: They could grab me by the ear. [Gesturing towards Izzy.] He always does that to me.
Jay: I'd like to be carried away, pulled away by a whole anti-terror squad. Me in my Superman...gear.
Izzy: I'd wanna be tranquillised and dragged away. Put in a straitjacket!
Richie: By all my limbs?
Michael: What? What? What?
Richie: How to get carried away.
Michael: Yeah, yeah. I don't know.
Richie: That's hard.
Jay: That's a tough question.
