Today: Mark Feehily, from the Westlife autobiography.

On Westlife's early days: If you even suggested not doing something, you felt that you were unprofessional. There was always this big desire to impress the record company, so we didn't get time off for 180 days.

On drugs: I was so naïve when we first started I thought people would throw cocaine at us on stage at Top Of The Pops.

On his management: I felt pressure about my weight for a long time. Once somebody from the Westlife camp went into my hotel room and took the sweets out of the minibar.

On singing for the Pope: Meeting the Pope was a huge thing for me. I'm not ultra-religious but that whole experience was just so spiritual.

On Kate Nash: I bought her album and thought it was great. Then I read her saying how she and Amy Winehouse were doing it for the girls and then saying words to the effect of 'instead of all that s**te like Westlife'. I was really hurt. I had to throw her CD in the bin, I couldn't listen to it anymore.

On meeting Mariah Carey: I asked to meet Mariah. The word got back saying Mariah would love to meet me. I walked into a room packed with media, a full-blown press conference with Mariah perched on an extravagant chaise longue. I was worried that she would be mean to me in front of the press but she was lovely.

Westlife: Our Story is published by HarperCollins, priced £18.99.
