The Script have told how they stop themselves from hating each other – a few punches in the face.
The Dublin trio admit they regularly come to blows – but find it is always healthy for their relationship to get in a scrap.
Frontman Danny O’Donoghue said: “Our relationship is great but the worst thing is that we do fight, and when we fight we really fight – fists everywhere.
“Verbal’s worse. It leaves scars you can’t see. But the fact that we can apologise after we’ve rolled around on the floor is what saves the band. It’s healthy.”

Guitarist Mark Sheehan added: “Anyone who has their own bus doesn’t like their bandmates, that’s all I’m saying. Even if we wanted separate buses we couldn’t afford it.”
And Danny, 33, admits that they need to get into these fights for any chance of staying together for more albums.
“We all got into this because we love music, having craic and a few beers,” he told the Star.
“Suddenly we’re like: ‘F**k, we’re on our fourth album here.’ “It would be amazing to have 10 albums, but you’re on a tour bus for eight months with your best mates.
“Without letting the pressure out every now and again, you’d just be on top of each other.”
