FHM (2000)

Q: So, did you sack the stylist who put you all in those jeans?

Edele: Ha ha, no. We're still good friends with her, and even go out with her for a drink occasionally. It was just time to move on, that was all. Sinead: Our new sexy image is really exciting because it's so different, and a lot more grown-up. Keavy: Yeah, everyone knows we can sing and dance - and now you get all this, too. If you have it, you may as well flaunt it.

Q: What about the "we're so perfect we don't drink" business? Will you finally admit to liking a tipple now and again?

Edele: I don't know where the stories saying that we don't drink came from. I really don't like booze - I just hate the taste of it - but I think because I said that once, everyone assumed we were all the same. But it's not true. Sinead: I really like Guinness. A pint of that is as good for you as having a meal, I reckon. I love Malibu and pineapple. Oh, and pina coladas too. Keavy: I used to drink Malibu and Baileys, mixed, in the same glass. But I once had so much it made me sick, so there's no way I could touch it again. These days, I don't drink that much at all.

Q: But didn't you and Edele once get labelled "The Tequila Twins" by the tabloids?

Keavy: Yeah, but I don't know why. When I was about 17, I went to a party and this girl offered me some tequila. I was like, "What's tequila? How strong is it?" I didn't really know, so I had one, I had two... and I was fine. Then I had a third one and suddenly I was in the bathroom going, "Oh my God..." I haven't touched the stuff since. Edele: I think that name was just another thing the press made up about us. Like the time they said B*Witched were going to do a duet with Metallica. I mean, what rubbish!

Q: What kind of underwear do you go for?

Lyndsay: I like G-strings. If you just wear a pair of normal panties they end up like a G-string by the end of the day anyway! I also go for patterns, like leopard skin or something a bit wild. Keavy: It's got to be a G-string for me, too. You can't let anyone see your knicker line. And I like dressing up. We once went to an underwear shop in America where they had all these sexy US cop suits. You know, like a policewoman, with the handcuffs and the whistle and the hat and stuff. It was great, there was a bunch of us all dressing up - trying it all out!

Q: And have any of you ever risked an outdoor foray "commando" style?

Lyndsay: I have - I was wearing tight trousers. It's quite a nice feeling, actually, but I'd never dare do it with a skirt on.

Irish foursome, B*Witched are Sinead O'Carroll (26), the most sophisticated and talkative one; twins Edele and Keavy Lynch (21), the level-headed half of the group - who also happen to be the younger sisters of Shane from Boyzone - and Lyndsay Armaou (22), the giggly one who gets most of the lustful e-mails via the B*Witched website. However, the girls' fondness for denim has almost been eclipsed by their annoyingly wholesome image - they wouldn't even admit to enjoying a drop of the hard stuff. At FHM's exclusive photo shoot, the girls are excited to be prancing around in sexier clothes and want to banish their goody-goody image once and for all...
