*Mark's top five people he would like to snog under the mistletoe are: 1. Beyonce - "Do I even HAVE to explain why? Don't think so!" 2. Angelina Jolie - "Sexy sexy lady!" 3. Jordan - "Just for the lads!" 4. Kelly Brook "For her personality (wink, wink!)" 5. Britney - "She's such a great singer! Yaa!"

*When Kian's Sister got married recently, the Westlife lads were invited. Mark went, but because he didn't really know anyone there, he spent the whole day drinking!

*Mark watches the Australian soap Home And Away.

*Mark gets the most homesick out of all the lads.

*Mark had his head shaved in Spain in 2000 and he only paid about three pounds for it. David Beckham (Manchester United footballer married to Victoria "Posh Spice" Adams) paid £300 to have his head shaved! Mark obviously has far more sense than David, because it is only a haircut!

*One Saturday morning at a TV studio, Mark tripped over a carrier bag and fell flat on his face in front of S Club 7!

*Sometimes Mark parties so hard he doesn't get to sleep until 3am!

*If Mark was to advertise in a lonely hearts column, here's the sort of thing you might see: Up for it paddy, well-built with nice eyes, shy and sensitive, enjoys soccer, tennis and pool, seeks a Mariah Carey look-alike girlfriend who's a good laugh for great nights out and in. Anyone with facial hair or bad breath need not apply.

*Mark's met Whitney Houston and thinks she's a superstar.

*Mark's parents and his Gran both video things for him when he's away. Aww!

*Mark doesn't like Christina Aguilera. She wanted to sit down at the bar where he was sitting, so she got her bodyguard to move Mark out of the way! Mark didn't argue because the guy was so big.

*Mark can still remember a dream he had when he was just a kid. "I had this nightmare that I was going on holiday with my parents on this ferry. For some reason though, when our car was driving onto the ferry, I wasn't on it. I was left behind, completely on my own. It was awful. I dreamt this about 10 years ago but I still remember it. It really freaked me out."

*Mark admits he's crap at chatting people up, but thinks he is getting better!

*Mark used to be chased by loud girls back home in Sligo. They would come running along the street shouting "Ooh Marky snuggle bunny!". They thought it was funny but Mark found it rather embarrassing.

*Mark's ideal partner would have to be easy-going and someone you could have a good laugh with. If they were too possessive then that would be a turn-off for him.

*Mark's worst Valentine's day was when he didn't get a card from the girl he fancied. "I used to send her a card every year and her Mum used to make her send me one back. But then one year she stood up to her Mum and I didn't get one. I was so disappointed!"

*Believe it or not, the best break-up Mark has had was when he split up with his girlfriend of five months. "It was three days before Valentine's day - it was like a breath of fresh air for me - I enjoyed my freedom!"

*Mark's guide to food shopping in a hurry is as follows: 1. Buy loads of boil in the bag meals 2. Bring your mate to help you 3. Wear trainers so you can run around the store instead of walking 4. Shop in your local store not a supermarket 'cause you've got less of an area to cover 5. Get your money ready whilst you're queuing instead of searching for it when you get to the checkout.

*Mark bought his Dad a Jeep for Christmas.

*Mark says he would love to have a transporter that would take him from place to place quickly so he wouldn't waste time traveling. "I could pop home for a cupper, nip to New York for some shopping then on to Amsterdam for a party!"

*Mark's top five smells are: 1. Cut grass 2. Strawberry scented soaps 3. Pipe tobacco (although he doesn't like smoking) 4. His Granny's baked Irish soda bread 5. Girls' freshly washed hair.

*The video for If 'I Let You Go' still confuses Mark. "I never understood what the men were building - some sort of flagpoles maybe - I really don't have a clue!"

*A fan once gave Mark a turnip in a box as a present. It still had earth on it as if it had just been pulled from the ground.

*Mark had his very first big kiss in a very romantic location on holiday in France while on an exchange trip. She was an Irish girl and he thought the kiss was disgusting for about two seconds before changing his mind and deciding he really liked it!

*Mark is a very paranoid person. When he found out that there was going to be a story printed about him in a newspaper dating a Page 3 model, he was worried that his granny would be ashamed of him.

*Mark takes size 9½ shoes

*Mark enjoys nothing better than a shower. "If I'm in a hurry, I can do the whole thing in two and a half minutes", he bragged, "but if I've got all the time in the world, I'll take ages. I'll wash my hair like seven times, not because I want to wash my hair but because I love the shower. It's so relaxing."

*Mark used to drive his parents car up and down the drive when he was just 13 years old.

*Mark once snogged two cousins in one night.

*Mark loves scaring himself by listening to ghost stories and easily gets worked up about spooky happenings. Once he even convinced himself that his granny's cat, Snowy, was going to come back from the dead and haunt him - but it never did.

*Mark thinks his nose is too big

*Mark used to have a crush on Kristy Wright who played Chloe in the Australian soap Home And Away. He was totally bonkers about her for years.

*Whilst Mark's dead proud to be from Ireland, he still thinks his Irish accent makes him sound like a farmer.

*One of the many jobs that Mark did before he joined Westlife included delivering pizzas.

*When Westlife released Swear It Again, Mark bet girl group The Honeyz a fiver that it wouldn't make it into the top three. Mark lost.

*Mark once dressed up as a woman for a Scout show.

*Mark says he would pose naked - but only if he was paid a million quid.

*Mark never goes anywhere without his protective charm. "I've got a thing like two teabags on a string. It's called a Scapular. It's meant to protect you. I take it everywhere with me."

*Mark was once weed on by his aunties cat.

*Mark's absolutely terrified of birds.
