After popping on their rat pack garb for Allow Us To Be Frank, messing about with Diana Ross on Face To Face and stuffing The Love Album with more classic love songs than the Magic 105.4 playlist, Westlife have returned to straight up pop music. And about time too – that tally of 14 number one singles isn't going to grow by itself. As they prepare to release Back Home, their eighth studio album, we ask the Irish lads what's driving them in 2007. Do they really want that chart battle with the Spice Girls? Do they ever argue with Simon Cowell? And did they mind taking "a few jabs" from Take That last year? Press play to find out.
