LIVE AND KICKING: LOUISE

Billions of blokes would give their right arm to go out with Louise but what kinda guy would make it as Mr. Nurding? Our mate Lou reveals all!

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR MALE MODEL ROBBIE?
Very nice! I find guys with dark hair really attractive, but I don't get too obsessed about the physique thing. I don't want to give guys out there a complex about being short. Robbie's a really nice guy and he's got a good sense of humour. I like a man I can have a laugh with!

WOULD YOU GO OUT WITH A MODEL?
I'd find it really hard to trust him being with all those gorgeous girls at shoots all day. I'd be Miss Paranoid. Honestly! I get really paranoid regardless of what my boyfriend's job is. I'm worse than ninety per cent of women out there.

COULD YOU GO OUT WITH SOMEONE WHO SPENT MORE TIME IN THE BATHROOM THAN YOU DO?
No way! I'd cane him. I'd be like, 'Come on, sort it out! Go and get those jeans and t-shirt on!' And if he started looking at himself in shop windows then that would just get too much!

IF YOU WERE GOING TO BUY HIM A PAIR OF UNDERPANTS WHAT STYLE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Just a pair of bo... (Goes bright red) Oooh I don't know really... underwear, um... maybe a pair of sporty boxers or some Calvin Kleins. I think you're always safe with a pair of Calvins. I've heard that they're very comfortable too.

PEOPLE SAY OPPOSITES ATTRACT. DOES THAT MEAN YOU GO FOR BAD BOYS?
Well, I've been known to go for a 'bad boy' in the past (cheeky giggle) but I prefer somebody I camn trust. I have to go away so often that the last thing I want to do is be on stage worrying about who he's with and what he's doing. I do like a guy who's got his own mind and who's a bot cheeky too. Not a complete goody-goody.

SO WHAT TURNS YOUR HEAD WHEN A GUY WALKS PAST?
I like a nice smile. It shows he's warm and friendly. I like people who look approachable. Looks are important to begin with 'cause that's what first attracts you but I have ended up liking guys who I didn't fancy straight away.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY GO FOR - BRAIN OR BICEPS?
The mind is important but I'd be lying if I said the physical thing wasn't. I think everybody has to feel a bit of physical attraction to make a relationship work. It's important to go, 'Oooh, yeah!' every time you see them. But it does change. In the beginning it's more lustful and then it changes to affection.

DO YOU LIKE REAL GENTLEMAN TYPES?
Yeah. I wouldn't think less of someone who didn't act that way but if a guy opens a door for me or pulls out a chair I think, 'Aw!' It's nice. My dad's always done that for me. He's always said, 'Make sure they treat you right'. I do think equality is important but little touches like that can make it really important.

CAN YOU ALWAYS TELL IF A BLOKE FANCIES YOU?
No. My mates say, 'That guy over there fancies you!' but I'm like, 'Don't be silly!' I miss chances all the time. I always kick myself afterwards and think, 'Oh I wish I'd gone over and said "hello".'

DID YOU REALLY HAVE NO IDEA THAT PAUL NICHOLLS THOUGHT YOU WERE A BIRROVALRIGHT?
No! He didn't give me any signs that he liked me. Anyway it was in such a professional way that we met. (Paul and Lou were presenting an award together at a TV ceremony) It was a case of read the script, go up on stage and get on with it.

IS HE YOUR TYPE OF GUY THEN?
He's very attractive and he's a really sweet guy but I can look at a guy and say, 'Yeah he's my kind of guy!' I like to know them better before I judge them. It's hard to know what to say 'cause I don't want to get paired off with him by everyone else. I'm not out to get him. He's only 17!

DO YOU THINK IT'S RIGHT FOR PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC EYE TO BE MADE TO SAY EHO THEY'RE GOING OUT WITH?
I think it's their choice. I've heard so many rumours about who I'm going out with. Like vthe one that said I'd finished with Jamie Redknapp, I was dating Ryan Giggs and snogging David Beckham. It's just not true! I'm perfectly honest about my friendship with Jamie but if I fall in love with a guy and have a proper relationship with him I'm not going to hide it. I don't want to run around trying not to get caught. If I've got a boyfriend then so what - it's normal.

DOES WHAT'S WRITTEN ABOUT YOU BOTHER YOU?
When you're in this business you give up a part of your life and offer it up to your public so I don't blame the papers for writing about me but it can play havoc when lies are written. They forget that there are people in your life that can get hurt by what they read.

WE ALL KNOW ABOUT RONAN AND VERNIE'S RELATIONSHIP BUT RONAN CONTINUALLY DENIES IT. DO YOU THINK HE'S DECEIVING HIS FANS?
I think everyone's different. For me I've found out being honest and straight up is best but mauybe that's because I've never really had anything to hide. I have lied before and said, 'Oh no I haven't got a boyfriend' when I have, but that's because I've been really nervous about what people would think., not because I didn't want to tell them. You don't want to upset your fans, but lying can insult people's intelligence which I don't ever want to do.

DO YOU LIKE A GUY TO WEAR DESIGNER LABEL CLOTHES?
I'm not really fussy. Some guys just look good in jeans and t-shirt and some really enjoy getting dressed up. But I think if a guy doesn't enjoy making an effort then he doesn't look good - he looks uncomfortable.

IF A GUY TURNED UP ON A DATE IN RIPPED JEANS AND TRAINERS WOULD YOU GET ANNOYED?
It depends where we were going. If we were off to somewhere really posh I'd say, 'They're not going to let you in like that, so we might as well not go.' But if we were just going out for a drink then fair enough. I'd probably feel over-dressed!

WHO DO YOU THINK IS SEXY?
Cindy Crawford's lovely. She's got a proper woman's figure and she's not overly skinny. She's got a lovely face too. She's got everything! And for men it has to be Matthew McConaughey. He's got confidence and coolness. There's just this really special sexy thing about him.

DO YOU MIND IF GUYS WOLF-WHISTLE AT YOU?
Normally I'll just turn round and smile and have a laugh. As long as it's done in good humour I don't mind. If they started shouting crude stuff maybe I'd turn round and shout back.

DO ANY OF YOUR LITTLE BROTHER'S MATES COME ROUND TO YOUR MUM'S HOUSE JUST TO OGLE YOU?
They come round asking for autographs but I don't think they really fancy me. It's just 'cause my brother goes, 'My sister's famous.' He's always saying, 'Oh God! Louise is coming home. That means all my friends are going to come round.'

YOU'RE QUITE PETITE. WHAT'S THE TALLEST GUY YOU'VE BEEN OUT WITH?
He was about six foot.

DID YOU HAVE TO STAND ON STILTS TO KISS?
Yeah (giggles), I had to wear high heels and stand on the sofa. I quite like tall men. It's that tall, dark, and handsome thing. I don't mind if they're smaller though.

WILL YOU BE SENDING ANY VALENTINE'S CARDS THIS YEAR?
I'm sure I'll find someone who I can send one to, but I'm not saying who!
