We’ll leave the album until later, but Billy, I know you’re a huge Arsenal Fan so let’s talk football! (Charlotte sighs…)
So, where do you think Arsenal will end up and who do you think Wenger will sign in January?
Billy: Right…well we’re actually in talks about getting Kaka apparently, so if we give him a massive wage hike that might happen. But also I think we’re going to go for Cahill in January, and maybe Michael Owen from United. [My reaction as an avid united fan was less-than-impressed]. But in terms of finishing place I think we’ll finish fifth or sixth at the end of the season.
In that case, who would your top 4 be?
Billy: Well, I think top four this year will be United, [Manchester] City, Chelsea, and I think it’s between Liverpool and Tottenham. But I think Arsenal will do quite well in the cups this year – I mean loosing to Birmingham in the League Cup Final was just the most pathetic thing. I was round at my brother-in-laws watching it, he’s a Spurs fan, and I knew inside he was dancing when that final whistle went!
Anyway, Charlotte, enough about football because you’re looking really bored! So I’ve heard that you are really into your running and you did the London Marathon – how did you find it?
Charlotte: I absolutely loved it, it was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done. I’m doing it again next year and to be honest I’m a bit of a running addict and do loads of races and stuff.
What’s your training regime and how do you keep it up when your on tour?
Charlotte: It’s quite easy really because running’s simple. You need a pair of trainers so you don’t need to take much with you, this makes it easy for me to keep up. I can get up in the morning, go out for a run and come back.
How do you combat all the high calorie food and drink that you get on a tour?
Charlotte: I think we try and eat as best as we can really. I mean I don’t think any of us are that terrible really. We always try and pick the healthy stuff and y’know we don’t drink too much. Obviously now and again everyone has a bit of a blow out but normally I’m a couple of drinks a night type person and that means I’m usually alright to get up and run the next day.
So the Marathon is defiantly on the cards next year?
Charlotte: Yeah, well I’m hard training at the moment because I’ve got a 10 mile race coming up in December. So all efforts are going into that really.
Billy, I’ve got to ask about the hair. What was the decision behind that?
Billy: So, my wife and I got really drunk one evening down at a pub called The Navigator, which we endearingly call ‘The Chavigator’ [laughs] and y’know she just goes “Ah, have you ever died your hair before?” so I go “erm, no”. I mean I’ve never really bothered before, I’ve sort of sun dyed it and that type of thing, then she goes “Lets go and dye it!! I’ve got this sort of red colour which will be great on you!”. So we were watching Hamlet totally and utterly wasted, she was just sitting there dying my hair whilst we were both going “Kenneth Branagh is amazing and Shakespeare was a genius!”. Then I woke up the next morning and drunkenly posted twitter photos, and my manager phoned me up and said ‘What have you done to your hair, you’ve got a photoshoot next week, you’ve got a videoshoot next week, you know your going to have to keep that for the next two years?!!’
Did you not do the famous ‘Oh dear, what have I done’ moment when you looked in the mirror?
Billy: I did! I woke up and I thought ‘oh no’! But y’know I get a few chuckles and laughs so its not that bad.
Can you dye it yourself yet or do you need a bit of practice?!
Billy: I think maybe I could, yeah. But Charlotte topped it up for me today because I’m still a bit cack handed!
Part two coming soon....
