Pop star and postman romance exclusive!

SMALLVANIA'S most glamorous couple, Nazzy Star and Ryan Atwood, allowed an interview with them and photos of them at home to be published in this week's Hello! magazine, published today.

The magazine, published by The TE Group, which also publishes this newspaper, reveals the domestic bliss in which the pop star and postman currently live. The Toyland Express can now exclusively reveal some of the feature.

NAZZY AND RYAN invite me into their beautiful Georgian dolls house in the heart of the bustling city life of Smallvania, and I am at once stunned at how peaceful it remains inside. I feel so honoured to be allowed to talk to them in this exclusive interview for Hello! readers, where they reveal for the first time exactly what colour their carpets are.

Nazzy, real name Nazalia, shot to fame some years ago with her upbeat song 'Into Dust', which found success after being featured on an episode of hit teen toy show Hollytoys. A year after moving to Toyland she met her current boyfriend Ryan Atwood, who works as a postman and is known the toy world over for his rugged good looks, his brown satchel and his unique ability to be the only toy who can stand upright submerged in water.

'Waww it's my party trick!' he explains wittily, as Nazzy gives him an affectionate kiss on the lips.

The house is currently all decorated for Christmas, and the couple introduce me to their house-trained rabbit Snuffles. 'I've always liked animals, so a house-trained rabbit was the obvious pet to get when we moved in together. At times it has been challenging and I've wondered if we could get through, but now Snuffles is housetrained!' A little tear runs down Nazzy's cheek as she remembers these harrowing experiences.

I ask Nazzy if the rumours are true about her relaunching her pop career, which went stale some time ago. The rumours were intensified by her performance of this year's Small Toys in Need charity single. 'Well it's a possibility...' she muses. 'I have been thinking about doing a duet with Hershey Bear... maybe a version of Lionel Richie's "Endless Love"'. Hershey Bear is a Bostonian soul singer.

Nazzy and Ryan then tell me what a normal day in the Dolls House is like. They moved in rather fortuitously, as as Mini Bratz dolls they were the small toys who best fit in all the rooms and were most played with by Emily. Ryan secured a mortgage thanks to his secure job at the Post Office, and money hasn't been a problem thanks to royalties from Nazzy's past hits including 'Bring It All Back (To Toyland)' and 'Wind Beneath My Plastic Wings'.

'Oh we just sit around in our spare time. I like sewing, and Ryan likes swimming and writing poetry,' Nazzy explains. Ryan immediately blushes and denies that he writes poetry, pushing some notepaper hastily underneath their exquisite antique wooden chairs.

Ryan blushes again when on a tour of the house with Nazzy later on, I catch him in the shower! I also meet Natalie, Nazzy's sister who is interested in punk rock and dresses in rebellious short skirts and dark make up. Another Bratz doll, Zara, completes the group of four who live here. From Nairobi, Zara is a friend of Natalie's.

After our meeting the exhausted Bratz curl up in the bedroom for a nap, Ryan sending me home with some post he was ready to deliver to me tomorrow morning. What a utterly fantastic couple of people!
