With their sultry charm and emotive music, Irish band, The Corrs, are revelling in their recent chart success.
But how do these three sisters and a brother cope with being together so much?
|
Tell us a secret about each of you!
Sharon: None of us has stolen each other's boyfriends or anything scandalous like that, but Caroline sniffs her humpers all the time.
Caroline: This is so embarrassing! I've been exposed as a secret jumper sniffer. It's like a comforter. I do it when I watching TV, but Andrea sucks her thumb - and in public!
Andrea: When we were in the States recently, someone pulled out manager aside and suggested I go into therapy for it. They thought I had problems!
Jim: Sharon used to love Paul Young big time - she had posters of him everywhere. We met him recently on a TV show. If only he knew how silly she used to get over him.
Caroline: Jim's best friend is his mobile phone. He loves it and literally sleeps with it! I'd go as far as to say he has an improper relationship with it.
Who had the best school reports?
Sharon: Andrea's were definitely the best and Jim's were the worst. He lost interest because he was really into being a mod.
Jim: Strangely enough I was often single during that period of my life!
Who is the best and worst with money>
Jim: Andrea is the most likely to lose money, but Sharon can beat her on spending. Her mobile phone bill is the biggest by miles.
Sharon: That's not true, your last one was £600 for the month! I'm very organised with my finances.
Who has the most annoying habits?
Jim: All of the girls. I'm always waiting for them - it drives me mad. It likes being married three times over.
Andrea: Have you ever considered how annoying it is to have to spend so long getting ready? You're lucky - you don't have to think about make-up and all that girls' stuff.
Jim: Fair point.
Who confides in who?
Sharon: Andrea and Caroline. They are the closest in age. Jim's sought my advice before about girls though.
Jim: I was going through a bad break-up and Sharon gave me good advice that really helped me.
Who's most romantic?
Jim: Andrea is the most romantic - she translates it into her lyrics.
Andrea: Jim's right - you can hear it when I write a song. But that can be embarrassing. On our first single, I wrote: "Make love to me through the night," and when I sang it in front of my parents,
I had to turn away. I knew my mother would be thinking: "Where did she learn that?"
Do you vet each other's partners?
Jim: The girls would never tell me if they didn't like a girl I was seeing, but they'd secretly talk about it.
Andrea: I've never disliked anyone they have dated. In fact, one of Sharon's ex-boyfriends was really cute. I had a crush on him when I was a kid.
Who is the bossiest?
Sharon: It's me, but I like to think of myself as organised rather than bossy.
Andrea: She makes lists and holds the passports and tickets when we're travelling. She can't help herself.
Who has the messiest room?
Jim: Andrea, and then I'd come a close second, followed by Caroline.
Andrea: None of us are particularly domestic, let's put it that way.
Who is the most mischievous?
Caroline: We're as bad as each other, but as kids Jim was always in trouble.
Jim: These lads I knocked about with used to rob cars and though I never did it myself, I got off on the buzz of it.
Sharon: But the police did call at home about Jim. It was on Bonfire Night...
Jim: I found a bonfire which had been put out by the fire bridage because sparks were flying close to a chemical plant. I didn't know they'd put it out and got it going again!
Andrea: He was branded an arsonist!
Who used to grass to your parents?
Jim: Sharon probably grassed on me and with good reason most of the time.
Caroline: Andrea used to snitch on me.
Andrea: You're making it up. What have you just done by answering that question? You've become a grass!
"Sibling rivalry doesn't come into it - unless we're doing a photo shoot and one of us feels ugly"
Who bickers amongst you?
Andrea: We girsl take it in turns. But you can do that with people you love.
Sharon: Ove the last two years, we've grown up and we rarely row now. As far as sinblgins rivalry goes, that doesn't come into it, unless we're doing a photo shoot and one of use is feeling particularly ugly.
We all have moments when we feel inadequate.
Be honest - have you ever hit each other?
Caroline: Loads of times when we were kids! Jim never hit us but we girls used to fight. Plenty of hair was pulled!
