We love the Blazin' boys. We love them so much we're always asking them over to SH! HQ for cups of tea, Fondant Fancies and a day or two of work experience. But do they ever return the favour? Never... until now, that is.
That's right. The Squad invited us over to chongy Chingford for a fish finger sarnie and a glass of squash, oh and to give you all a guided tour of their rather posh gaffs... Kenzie :
The look: total ladsville. Equipped with more electrical appliances than a branch of Dixons.
Kenzie's room smells of...: "girls - but only because of all the perfume-scented cards," he claims.
My laptop: "This is my prized possession. It's where I make all my music. I also like looking at the Internet on it, but I can't tell you my favourite website - it might be a bit dirty! I've got a picture of myself as the screensaver - just incase I ever forget what I look like! I've also got a few naked girls I use as screensavers, but it ain't really appropiate for Smash Hits."
Valentine's cards & presents: "These are from all my fans, man. I get loads of jewellry from them too. Sometimes I do feel a bit out of order that some poor girl has spent all her pocket money on me. It just ain't fair, is it? If the girls who bought me jewellry are reading, I love you and thankyou very much."
My sofa: "I bring girls up here all the time and my parents are ok with it, too. I've got the best bedroom of anyone I know. Not like Melo-D. He used to have One True Voice posters on his wall, but he was so gutted when they only got to No 2, he took them all down."
Punchbag: "Someone bought me this for Christmas. And whenever I'm feeling stressed out, I give it a good whack. Sometimes I imagine David Sneddon's head on top of it."
Wedding veil: "I got this from a fan - she wrote her phone number on it. But there's a bit of hair in it too, which worries me a bit. Alot of our fans leave their mobile numbers on the gifts they give us. If a girl sent me a photo and number and she was really good-looking then I would probably ring her. I'm always travelling up and down the country so even if she's from somewhere like Liverpool, I could still meet up with her. I don't think I'll ever get married, though. I don't want that commitment and all that."
Reepa:
The look: sparse. Reepa's mum had sneakily tidied everything up and packed it away in the loft before SH! arrived. It's the tidiest room we've ever been in...
Reepa's room smells of...: his mum's furniture polish.
Framed family photograph: "This is a photo of me with my brother, Stephen. Do you think we looks alike?"
A troll: "Tommy B is really scared of this. Whenever he used to come to mine for a sleepover, he would wake up and scream, "Aaargh, that troll's staring at me!" He ended up refusing to sleep in my room."
My decks: "I've only ever DJed at my friend's parties, but I'd like to do it in a club one day. I first got into garage when I was 14 years old. I could never MC on the spot like Eminem or Harvey though. I'm not really into free-styling."
Rocky B:
The look: cramped. "It's great. Everything's so close together," says Rocky B, tripping over his old socks.
Rocky B's room smells of...: his mum's home-cooking.
Scary donkey: "I don't know what this is, but I'm kinda scared of it. It's got human hair on it. It just looks weird."
My bling drawer: "Apart from jewellry, this drawer also contains my bling hat. If I'm walking donw the street, I put that on my head and my hair stays tight, no matter what. It looks gangsta.
My photo gallery: "This is a big collage of everybody I love. These are pictures of all my extended familly on here."
My hall of fame: "My bedroom is like a shrine to all my heroes - J.Lo, Destiny's Child, Tupac and Ludacris are all represented."
Melo-D:
The look: laddy with an oriental twist. A bit like a chinese restuarant. Nice, if you're feeling peckish.
Melo-D's room smells of...: smelly socks (ok, not really).
School books: "There's loads of doodlings all over them. Mainly pictures of mad dogs and Homer Simpson."
Rings: "I've been given some nice rings from fans. One was a bit too big, so the girl got it changed to a smaller size for me."
Bedroom walls: "You can search my room high and low - I don't have any One True Voice posters. That was just something Kenzie said to embarrass me. If I did have a poster of someone on my wall, it would be someone cool like Eminem. There's also a picture on my wall drawn by Flava - he's a wicked cartoonist."jd
Ladies' dresses: "Oh my god! These are my sister's clothes, honest. She's keeping them in here because her wardrobe is too small."
My suitcase: "We've been travelling loads recently - we've been to Barbados. But we don't get to see much - just hotels, really."
Freek:
The look: the Freek-ster's very sophisticated. He's got a pale blue minimal boudoir. Ooh, get him!
Freek's room smells of...: Hugo Boss aftershave. See, we told you he was a smoothy.
Panasonic DVD player: "This is the most treasured item in my room. It cost £1,800 and is portable so I can take it on tour. My favourite DVDs are my Ali G and Michael Jackson ones."
Weighty Plates Sleeve: "Weighty Plates is the name of our underground record label. We hope to sign acts in the future. Who knows? We might even sign some of our friends."
The Highams Park Yearbook, 2002: There's a picture of each pupil and, underneath, it lists their most frequent saying. Mine says "I aint cumin 2 skool 2moro" because I never used to turn up."
Strider:
The look: a bit like a gym for teddy bears. Seriously, it's a bit weird (but still quite cool).
Strider's room smells of...: Lynx deodorant.
My gym: "I've got a mini-gym in my room. I do 15 minutes on the rowing machine each day, followed by 20 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes of weights. After that I go down the gym. The treadmill cost £1000. I split the cost of it with my dad, but it's really annoying because whenever he wants to exercise, he has to do it in my room."
Artist's dummy: "You use this to help you draw the human body. My aunt went to art college and she gave it to me. I used to do loads of drawing - in fact, if I wasn't in Blazin' Squad I'd probably be a graphic designer. I actually got an A* in design and technology in my GCSEs."
My pants: " Calvin Kleins are my favourite brand. I'm definately a boxers type of guy and never, ever wear briefs. Yuck."
Teddy bears & cards: "I would never chuck anything out a fan gives me. I've got black sacks full of presents. The weirdest thing I've ever got from a fan is Maltesers in an envelope with a card which read, "You don't know it yet, but one day we're getting married." It even had confetti in it. And fans always stand outside my house - the other night we
