Old interview with Nicky's mum but new to site and i never read it before so thoguht id add it for you to read, bless his mum...



NICKY'S MUM YVONNE

NICKY was due on 6th September, but he was not born until the 9th October. He was having such a great time, he didn't want to come out. He was a very good baby, he was late getting teeth, over a year old so he didn't have any problems with teething.

"He wasn't a sickly child, he just suffered from the normal childhood illnesses, measles and chickenpox, that kind of thing.

"When he was a teenager he always wanted an earring but I would never let him have one. Then a couple of weeks before he went away to Leeds, he got one, that is probably the wildest thing that he did. I pretended not to notice it.

"He was always pretty well behaved although he broke about six panes of glass in one week playing football in the house - I was furious with him. He broke glass in the patio door and one of the bedroom windows.

"He never had to do a paper run or anything like that because at 16 he was signed for Leeds United. He spent two years there as a professional goalkeeper. That would have been his first job."

Although Nicky was a talented soccer player, he made the jump into the music industry to become one of Ireland's top pop stars

"His dad always played in a band, doing dinner dances and stuff like that and he used to help his dad very Saturday setting the gear up.

"It was his sister who danced and sang and I thought she would have worked in the entertainments industry, I thought he was happy with the football."

Nicky had an interesting start to school life. Yvonne still remembers his first day: "Well it's hard to forget because the first day I had taken him to school he had been knocked down the night before.

"He was just five and he'd had his dinner and I'd let him out for half an hour. He had only gone out and there was a knock at the door to say he had been knocked down. I spent most of the night in the hospital.

"He had about three or four stitches in his forehead. He still has a tiny scar.

"He was always popular in school, although he might have been a bit of a teacher's pet. He was always good at English, writing essays and the like but he hated maths, although he liked counting his money."

Although heart-throb Nicky is now on the bedroom wall of thousands of teen fans, mum Yvonne says that the worldwide success hasn't changed him.

"He maybe lives in the fast lane a bit more now, but he's happy, and if he's happy, I'm happy.

"One thing that has changed a little is the way he sings everywhere he goes, in the bedroom, the bathroom. He can hardly walk past a mirror without singing.

"Come to think of it, when he comes back after being on tour with the band he comes in with the suitcase, opens it up and just leaves it.

"Even now if he came in, he'd just leave it there, head out to a friend's house and leave it for me to put everything away. But I don't really mind, I've always done that anyway.

"What he has always done is drink his tea with the spoon in the cup, that really irritates me.

"It's unnatural for him to drink the tea any other way - he can't take it out. Where he picked that up, I don't know. None of the rest of us do it. I keep on thinking he's going to put his eye out.

"He worries a lot now while he's away about the lot of us. It wouldn't necessarily be worried about anyone being ill, just in general he would ring. Is everything alright? Is everybody alright? He phones home every day unless they are travelling.

"When they were making the Westlife video they had great difficulty getting him to use the lift. If he can avoid taking the lift, he would. He's got a bit of a phobia about them.

"I have to say I'm glad that he's still religious. He would go to mass every Sunday. We all used to go to mass together.

"Because he is away on tour he can't go as often as he'd like. He carries a little guardian angel brooch everywhere he goes.

"The brooch is a guardian angel which has his birthstone for October. My mam bought one for for all the band members, so they all have them."

The family always used to gather round the TV to watch the Eurovision song contest every year.

"It was great family entertainment for us. Maybe not in the last couple of years, but certainly from when they were small. I loved it, and their dad loved it although Nicky Senior was almost always out playing, but it was always a big treat over the years.

"We always sat down and enjoyed it and the voting was the highlight."

Does he take vitamin pills? "Yes on occasions he would have been on vitamins on tour. He did during the last tour, I saw them but I don't know if he is still on them or how regular he takes them.

"When he's going out he likes to make sure his hair is alright. But that is only now, since joining the band.

"Oh, when he was very young he had this spiked haircut. He would have had the spike on top and long at the back and the bits that were too long sticking out would get gelled into a state paralysis, so they wouldn't move! He wanted, you know, the perfect look!"
