Mark Hutchison

Have you ever stolen anything?

Biscuits out of my mum's biscuit tin. I've stolen a few hearts in my time too.

What was the last book you read?

It was called the Jigsaw Man, a biography of a criminal psychologist. You read quite a lot of books when travelling.

Who is the last person you spoke to on the phone?

My other half Steph. She's going down to London for two months on Wednesday so she called to chat about that.

What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?

I don't want to say how much I spent on it but I do have a fur hat. It's also known as the hangover hat as that's the only time I wear it.

What is your worst habit?

Going to bed too late and sleeping in too late. Turning night into day.

What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?

The fur hat.



Cerise Wade

Have you ever stolen anything?

Chocolate. Everyone does that when they're little though, don't they?

What was the last book you read?

A haematology book for University. The one before that was Harry Potter.

Who is the last person you spoke to on the phone?

Stacey from Model Team. Sad isn't it?

What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?

I spent £225 on a bag from Paul Smith. I had to have it when I walked into the shop; before that I probably would have said £15.

What is your worst habit?

Biting my nails or pulling my hair.

What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?

Probably what I'm wearing now.



Ian Dobbins

Have you ever stolen anything?

I stole a remote control from a house I got invited back to. I thought it was funny at the time. It kind of was.

What was the last book you read?

Danny Wallace's Join Me: it was excellent. He's really cool, very funny.

Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?

One of the girls that works here. She phoned me because I was late.

What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?

Probably a black suit form Marks and Spencer's. I think it was £200, which is cheap for a suit but it's really well cut.

What is your worst habit?

I'm untidy. I've just moved into a flat with a couple of mates so I'm trying to make an effort.

What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?

I bought a pair of skinny jeans from All Saints. I've got other skinny jeans but these are proper drainpipes.



Tottie Greer

Have you ever stolen anything?

When I was 14 I was on a skiing trip with the school in Austria. Me and my friends stole some alcohol out of a local supermarket. It was really easy, they didn't have detectors.

What was the last book you read?

I've not finished it yet but I am reading one of Ian Rankin's crime novels, Knots and Crosses.

Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?

My boyfriend Max.

What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?

I'm a bit of a bargain hunter but a few years ago I bought a Luella bag. It was £500. It's completely ruined now.

What is your worst habit?

Talking too loudly and too quickly. I get too excited!

What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?

It was definitely when I was a teenager. I used to wear trainers with slouchy socks and a hoodie.



Sean Chan

Have you ever stolen anything?

No, not that I can recall. I'm a good boy.

What was the last book you read?

It was probably back in school. I study Maths now so To Kill A Mockingbird was probably the last book I read.

Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?

My Grampa. He calls about ten times a day; he's getting quite old and forgets that he called.

What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?

Probably a pair of Diesel jeans, they were about £150 and that was in the sale.

What is your worst habit?

This sounds pretty sad but I continuously change what I wear.

What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?

Wearing skinny jeans, a stripey top, a bunnet and pointy shoes. Someone told me I looked like a member of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.



James Charleston

Have you ever stolen anything?

When I was 6 years old I tried to steal a packet of Fruitella from the supermarket my aunt worked in and I got caught.

My friend Sean.

I spent £650 on a Versace jacket when I was 18. I never wear it.

What is your worst habit?

Being late, I'm too laidback.

A black and white checked waistcoat.

Have you ever stolen anything?

No nothing, I'd have too much of a guilty conscience.

My best friend Sophie because she had an exam today.

What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?

The whole i-pod thing: i-pod, speakers. I once bought a coat for £250 but that probably wasn't as much.

What is your worst habit?

Biting my nails. It's disgusting.

What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?

Wearing matching pink tights and a top.
