Tara Palmer Tomkinson is best friends with delectable boy band BLUE, so who better to interview them for Cosmo? Read on as Tara chats to each member of the band about girls, groupies, and their favourite sex tricks – intimately.

Tara PT on BLUE
I’m good friends with BLUE, so I jumped at he chance to interview them for Cosmo. I first met the boys about three years ago – we kept bumping into each at parties and now we hang out all the time. We have so much fun – and they’re marvellous eye-candy.
The boys often stay at my house (after Kym Marsh’s 27th birthday party, for example) and I make them hot dogs in the microwave and we play scratchcards or watch movies – even a bit of porn, for a laugh! I give them a lot of gifts because I like to spoil them. And they give me presents, too – two pairs of pink hipster knickers from Duncan, one with an utterly filthy slogan and the other one with ‘Princess’ written on it.
The boys and I often egg each other on to do crazy things. When we went to the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo and had to go back to Nice afterwards, the traffic was so bad, we chartered a helicopter. It felt just like Miami Vice. The boys do get quite drunk, but not so much that they’re drooling. That’s me, I’m the St. Bernard!
Although I love them all, Duncan and I have a special bond – when we first met, the chemistry between us was amazing. We speak about 10 times a day and text absolute filth to each other. Obviously it crossed my mind to take things further – you can’t look at the boy and not consider it, he’s gorgeous! But there’d be so much pressure on us and, besides, we have more of a brother-sister relationship. I laugh and cry with him and we crash out in the same bed. Although Duncan does demand a goose-feather pillow …

Tara chats to … Duncan James, 24

Duncan: “Are you wearing those naughty knickers I bought you?”
Tara: “Not today! I love your barefoot look, by the way – it looks cool with a suit. And you got long toes like a puppy! Now I’ve absolutely got to put the record straight here, Duncan. Are you a bit of a playboy?”
Duncan: “I’m not a playboy. I’m no saint either but I’m nothing like papers make out. They take a picture of you with a girl and you’re immediately sleeping with her.”
Tara: “You’re good looking, lots of women fancy you and they see pictures of you in places like Monaco, so it’s easy to pigeonhole you.”
Duncan: “ We like to have fun. If we’re up for a big night, we all get hammered. We’ve been in trouble lots of times, but nothing we’ve been arrested for.”
Tara: “It’s not like you’ve trashed hotel rooms.”
Duncan: “I haven’t, but Lee has.”
Tara: “ Would you pay on a first date?”
Duncan: “Yes, I’m very chivalrous. Psychics have told me I was a mediaevel knight in a previous life and I think there are traces of it in the way I treat women, because I’m very loyal. And that’s also why I eat like an animal. I rip into chicken and eat and suck at the gristle on the bones.”
Tara: “Does the way you eat reflect your sexual technique? What do you like in a woman? Actually, I know wht you like: innocent, vulnerable women with an air of serenity about them.”
Duncan: “Yes, I like ‘good girls’. I don’t find women who dress skimpily that attractive – it doesn’t leave anything to the imagination.”
Tara: “So you don’t like it when girls throw their knickers at you?”
Duncan: “ I’ve never had sex with a groupie. I prefer the thrill of the chase and you don’t get that when someone throws themselves at you.”
Tara: “But you’ve slept with me and I’m a fan. Joke! Anyway, what’s the most outrageous thing a fan’s done?”
Duncan: “They’ll stay at the same hotel and leave a message saying, ‘I’m in room 24 – call me and I’ll give you a good time’. And I’ve got a stalker at the moment, which is scary. She’ll ring me 30 times a night.”
Tara: “When I went out with Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran keyboard player), there was a German woman outside every day pleading with him to kill her. Anyway, I’d like to know what your favourite sex trick is.” (Try it, try it!)
Duncan: “I know what yours is.”
Tara: “Oh, do shut up Duncan! So, do you like hot wax? Or to be tied up?”
Duncan: “I like to maturbate with a bit of baby oil every now and then, because your hand feels better.”
Tara: “Ooh yes! It’s a lubricant.”
Duncan: “Or in the bath with a soapy flannel so it doesn’t feel like you.”
Tara: “That is scandalous – so you can imagine it’s someone else! So who’s your dream woman, then?”
Duncan: “I’d love to have a one-night stand with Britney.” (*g�hn*)
Tara: “What about J.Lo – what do you think of her bottom?”
Duncan: “You’ve got a better one.”
Tara: “I was hoping you’ say that.”
